About Airsoft Handgun Designs
Find out about airsoft pistols and how you can use them as backup weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the ideal handgun and practicing with it can make an impact in hitting your shots. Pistols, by nature, are diminished range airsoft weapons. They are quite often manufactured after real world sidearms or models of actual pistols. A large number of airsoft handguns are completely licensed reproductions of their real-world gun counterparts. These airsoft guns can run in the same ways and visually appear almost identically to the real guns they are modeled after while blasting airsoft BBs instead of real bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns such as CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric sidearms. Each of these kinds of pistols have positives and negatives related to them. Learning about the styles of airsoft handguns helps you figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
About CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft handguns are among the most typical and durable styles of handguns. They are all season, all weather pistols and work well in a lot of types of extreme temperatures, weather and environments. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to propel airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel. The CO2 cartridge is generally stored in the handgun’s handle.
These kinds of airsoft guns are excellent for playing airsoft in colder weather conditions considering that the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less prone to variation by low temperature. This offers good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for instance where other sorts of handguns like green gas cease to function or barely fire pellets.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges resemble a metal cylinder and store high pressured CO2 gas comprised of a single carbon atom and two oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, however once they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft handgun breaks the cartridge seal) they will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the chance to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if the cylinders are stored sealed. They have the maker’s expiration date typically listed on the box or cartridge cylinder, however they will maintain pressure for a prolonged period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not tampered with.
Details About Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft pistols function similarly to CO2 guns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. As an alternative, they use green gas or propane for propellant to shoot the airsoft BBs. The result on airsoft games and green gas pistol operation is almost the same as CO2 handguns with the weapons shooting up to about 300+ feet per second. Shots are quickly fired in semi-automatic or fully-automatic shooting modes and can hit targets at shorter to mid-range distances.
The propane is stored in the handgun’s mag which can frequently hold around 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the pistol design. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas stored in the mag until the handgun’s trigger is squeezed.
When carrying a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a main or backup weapon, additional mags are highly recommended for quickly reloading and getting back into the game. Having extra magazines on-hand helps you re engage in the action in the middle of firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas handguns are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields considering that rifles and full-sized AEGs are typically not permitted to be used during indoor shooting. This is a safety standard due to the close range proximity of airsoft players during shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas handguns can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy pushing the BB at a decreased level compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various styles of green gas airsoft pistols. To begin with there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These pistols work like an authentic handgun with the pistol slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. Each time a brand-new airsoft BB is chambered, the gas induces the slide to cycle. The result is really cool, but the GBB weapons frequently are more expensive and potentially have more parts that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback pistols usually cost less than GBBs. Performance is around the same between the two types of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas generally works extremely well on the airsoft field, it does have limits. When they are used over the winter season in the snow or in colder weather (like under 32 degrees F). Since the green gas or propane gas is stored in the weapon’s magazine using rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, the cold can impact the seals and allow the stored gas to seep out before shooting. The depressurized gas can cause the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the pistol would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temps).
One fix to this problem is to keep the GBB pistol magazines warmer by holding them next to your body, beside a heater, or inside your jacket just before game play starts. If you truly want to play with a trustworthy airsoft handgun in the cold weather, it may also be worth getting a CO2 variation of your preferred pistol.
Facts About Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that fire the airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel. They are usually able to only shoot one BB at a time. The manual action of firing, cocking, and reloading spring airsoft guns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols. This makes them interesting to use, but they are usually less efficient when encountering competitors on the airsoft field with upgraded airsoft guns, auto airsoft AEG rifles and CO2 or GBB airsoft handguns.
Spring handguns perform the best in springer battles where players can only use related, single shot spring pistols or as a close quarters backup weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can usually sneak up to other airsoft game players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a quick second follow-up shot will not be required since the other person is already hit and out of the game or moving back to respawn. When engaging a number of foes given that the spring airsoft gun only fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be cautious.
About Spring Handgun Efficiency
Spring guns are really useful under the correct conditions. Spring pistols can generally fire up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but precision decreases quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearm Facts
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to bring as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s grip. They function similar to an AEG rifle and use forced air forced through electrically cycled gearboxes, pistons, and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol mags typically carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs approximately about 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or around 200 to 250 FPS when loaded with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electric gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute assuming you have enough spare mags to reload and the battery maintains its charge that long. These AEP pistols can precisely shoot airsoft BBs at around 150 foot ranges.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has risen substantially in recent years. The earliest gen AEP guns were a bit questionable and unreliable, however the newer designs have most of the problems worked out and make efficient airsoft backup guns. They can be improved with maximized mag capacities together with accommodating bigger batteries.
A large perk of buying an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the connectors to use a more substantial battery. Depending upon the AEG pistol model, you can get a large output in performance and fire rate utilizing a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as opposed to the standard AEP battery. Take care of adjusting the parts and wires since you should think about the voltages, mAh, and loads of the batteries. If you have modding concerns, ask an expert gun technician at your local airsoft store or shop.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me to Buy?
Looking for the best airsoft pistol for you depends upon how much you can afford, how often you want to play airsoft using it, and where you plan to play. If you have $100 or more to invest in your airsoft handgun, take a look at a green gas blowback pistol or AEP pistol. These guns are typically the top-tier guns, have the greatest efficiency, and can be an excellent airsoft gun to invest in. If you can afford between more than $50 but less than $100 to devote to your airsoft gun purchase, take a look at a CO2 pistol or less expensive green gas pistol. These guns will still do the job and will be long lasting sidearms. If you have $50 or less, consider a lower end CO2 or spring pistol. You can still find a heavy-duty airsoft pistol to use for the pistol airsoft guns.
