Airsoft Handgun Style Additional Info
Learn about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as secondary guns or as core weapons on the airsoft playing field. Numerous airsoft handguns are completely accredited variations of their real gun equivalents and function and look in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than real bullets.
There are a few kinds of airsoft pistols consisting of CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these styles of sidearms come with negatives and positives connected with them. Finding out about the types of airsoft handguns helps you choose which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft pistols are among the most dependable and typical varieties of handguns. They are all-season, all-weather guns working well in a lot of types of weather, varying temperatures, and climates. These sidearms use pressurized CO2 gas to send airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas and is usually kept in the handgun’s magazine.
These kinds of airsoft pistols are good for playing airsoft in cold and snowy weather because the pressurized CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less prone to performance decreases caused by temperature levels. This offers very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for instance where other sorts of airsoft sidearms like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly fire airsoft BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look like a chrome metal cylinder and store high-pressure CO2 gas comprised of a single carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, as a result of the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are bound in the following order “O= C =O”. The gas is held in the 12 gram cylinders under extremely high pressure of roughly ~ 800psi that converts to 55bar.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely inside, but once they are opened (firing them inside of an airsoft weapon breaks the seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if they are stored sealed. They do have the maker’s expiration date normally listed on the package or cylinder, but they can survive for a prolonged period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not tampered with.
Green Gas Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft sidearms resemble CO2 guns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Instead, they use green gas or propane for propellant to fire 6mm airsoft BBs. The outcome on the battlefield and green gas handgun efficiency is just about the same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to about 300+ FPS. Shots are quickly fired in automatic or semi-automatic shooting modes and can hit targets at short to mid-range ranges.
The propane is stashed in the handgun’s airsoft mag that can commonly hold around 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending on the handgun model. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and seals keep the gas stored in the magazine up until the handgun’s trigger is pulled.
When carrying a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field or arena as a secondary or primary gun, additional handgun magazines are recommended for quickly reloading. Having extra mags on-hand helps you re-engage in the action during firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas handguns are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are typically not authorized to be used during indoor game play. This is an essential safety guideline due to the close range distance of players during the shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy pushing the BB at a lower level compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different types of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
While green gas generally works extremely well, it does have limits. For example, when they are played with during the winter in the snow or in cold weather (like lower 32 deg F). Because the green gas or propane is held in the weapon’s mag using rubber seals and gaskets, cold temperatures can negatively affect these seals and cause the gas to escape prior to shooting airsoft BBs. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the gun would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temps).
One fix for this problem is to try to keep the GBB pistol magazines warmer by holding them next to a heater or by your body just before the game play. This can help to warm up the seals, gaskets, and valves and better seal in the green gas. It can also be worth buying a CO2 version of your favorite handgun if you actually prefer to play with a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and these guns shoot much better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Info on Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that propel the BBs out of the gun’s barrel. The manual action of reloading, cocking, and shooting spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB guns.
Spring guns work most effectively in springer wars where game players can just use related, single shot spring pistols or as a close quarters combat backup weapon for CQB buildings when you can usually sneak up to other airsoft game players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a quick 2nd follow-up shot isn’t required due to the fact that the other player is already hit by the first BB and out of the gameplay or moving back to respawn. Beware when fighting numerous adversaries since the spring gun just fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Handgun Efficiency
Spring pistols are quite effective under the proper conditions. Their FPS often chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs. These pistols generally fire lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the coiled springs are less powerful than other kinds of airsoft guns. Spring pistols can typically be accurate at up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs however precision is reduced quickly. Choosing regular 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a reduced shooting distance of about 60 to 80 feet or less with enhanced accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistol Details
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also an option to bring into the field as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s handle. They operate much like an AEG rifle and use pressurized air with electrically cycled pistons and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol mags typically carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has risen significantly in the last few years. The first generation guns were a little bit questionable and unreliable, but the newer designs have the problems resolved and make reliable airsoft secondary guns. They can be modified with increased mag capacities together with accommodating bigger batteries.
A big benefit of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the connections to use a more substantial battery. Depending on the AEG pistol design, you can get a large increase in functionality by adopting a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as an alternative for the stock mini battery.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me?
Picking out the ideal airsoft pistol for you depends on how much you can afford to spend, how often you desire to play airsoft using it, and where you hope to play. Take a look at a GBB green gas handgun or automatic electric AEP handgun if you have over $100 to invest on your airsoft handgun. These guns are normally the top of the line, have the most effective performance, and can be a pretty good gun to get. Take a look at a CO2 handgun or less expensive green gas GBB pistol if you have between fifty to one-hundred dollars to spend. Mid-tier guns like these will still do the job and are pretty sturdy sidearms. If you have less than fifty dollars, consider a lower end CO2 or springer handgun. You can still get a durable airsoft pistol to use for the pistol airsoft guns.
