Airsoft Pistol Type Information
Find out about airsoft sidearms and handguns and how you can use them as backup weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your accuracy and getting the right pistol can make a big difference in nailing your shots. Sidearms, naturally, are short range airsoft guns. They are generally created after authentic guns or reproductions of authentic handguns. Numerous airsoft handguns are fully certified releases of their genuine gun counterparts. These airsoft guns can operate in the same ways and appear identically to the real guns they are designed around while firing airsoft BBs instead of real-world bullets.
There are a few varieties of airsoft pistols consisting of CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric sidearms. Each of these varieties of pistols come with negatives and positives associated with them. Learning about the styles of airsoft pistols helps you decide which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most typical and heavy duty types of sidearms. These pistols use sealed CO2 gas cylinders to force airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel.
These types of airsoft handguns are very good for playing airsoft in cold and snowy weather conditions because the compressed CO2 gas is less sensitive to variation caused by low temperatures. This gives CO2 airsoft guns exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for instance where other varieties of airsoft sidearms like green gas stop operating or barely fire pellets.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look like a shiny steel cylinder and hold high pressured CO2 gas comprised of 1 carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms, hence the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are attached in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is stored in the 12 gram cartridge cylinders under extremely high pressure of around ~ 800psi which correlates to 55bar.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely within, but once they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft pistol breaks the cartridge seal) they will start 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 handgun target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while if they are kept sealed. They are made with a manufacturer’s use by date typically marked on the package or cylinder, but they may maintain pressure for a long period past this date if the cartridge seals are not broken.
Info About Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft pistols are comparable to CO2 pistols, but they use propane gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The operational impact on the battleground and green gas weapon performance is practically the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to 300+ FPS.
The propane gas is kept in the pistol’s airsoft magazine that can commonly hold in-between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending on the handgun type. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone seals keep the gas stored in the mag up until the pistol’s trigger is pulled.
When playing with a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a backup or primary gun, additional pistol mags are highly recommended for rapidly reloading and engaging opponents. Having extra mags on-hand allows you to get back in the action during firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas handguns are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields considering that rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are usually not enabled to be used during indoor engagements. This is a safety regulation because of the close quarters proximity of gamers during the shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy propelling the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different styles of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane gas is held in the pistol magazine by using rubber o-rings, seals, and gaskets, the cold can negatively affect these o-rings and allow the gas to leak out before shooting the handgun. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to simply shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the handgun would typically shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temperatures).
One option to fix this issue is to keep the GBB handgun mags warmer by placing them next to your body just before the airsoft game play. This can help to warm up the seals, gaskets, and valves and help to seal in the green gas. If you really prefer to use a reputable airsoft pistol in the cold, it might also be worth getting a CO2 version of your preferred pistol. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and these guns shoot far better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
About Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by powerful springs that launch the BBs down the pistol barrel. They are generally able to only shoot one BB. The manual functioning of firing, cocking, and reloading spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols. This makes spring guns fun to use, however they are less useful when engaging other players on the airsoft field with fully auto airsoft AEG rifles, sniper rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols.
Spring sidearms and guns perform best in springer battles where players can just use comparable, single shot spring weapons or as a close quarters combat backup weapon for CQB buildings when you can often sneak up to other airsoft game players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a fast second followup shot isn’t required since the other person is already struck and out of the gameplay or going back to respawn. When engaging multiple airsoft players because the spring gun just shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be cautious.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring handguns are remarkably efficient under the correct game conditions. Spring guns like pistols can generally shoot accurately up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however target accuracy decreases quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearm Info
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to bring as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s butt. They operate similar to an AEG rifle and use pressured air with electrically cycled pistons and gearboxes to shoot airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG pistol magazines typically hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can launch airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has risen considerably recently. The first gens were a bit questionable and unreliable, but the new models have most of the deficiencies worked out and make reliable airsoft backup guns. They can be further modded with enhanced mag storage capacities in addition to accommodating bigger batteries.
A significant benefit of buying an AEG handgun is that you have the opportunity to rewire the adapters to use an enhanced battery with higher mAh. Depending on the AEG pistol type, you are able to get a substantial output in efficiency utilizing a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock mini battery. Take extra precautions when customizing the elements and the gun’s wires since you should consider the voltages, mAh, and loads of the battery. If you have modding questions, ask a qualified professional weapon technician at your nearest airsoft store.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me to Buy?
If you have more than one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft handgun, take a look at a GBB pistol or automatic electric pistol. If you have in-between fifty to one-hundred dollars to invest, look at a good quality CO2 pistol or less expensive GBB pistol. You can still find a durable airsoft pistol by checking out cheaper pistols and by trading with other players in the used airsoft gun market if you need to save money.
