Information on Airsoft Handgun Kinds
Learn more about airsoft handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the best pistol and practicing with it can be a game changer in the accuracy of your shots. Sidearms, naturally, are lower range airsoft guns. They are normally designed after real pistols or clones of actual pistols. Many different airsoft handguns are fully licensed versions of their real-world weapon counterparts. These airsoft guns can visually appear and function (without shooting bullets) in the same ways similarly to the real guns they are modeled around while shooting airsoft BBs as opposed to genuine bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns consisting of CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these kinds of sidearms has positives and negatives connected with them. Learning more about the kinds of airsoft pistols allows you to decide which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Sidearm Details
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most heavy duty and popular varieties of handguns. They are all-weather handguns working well in a lot of kinds of weather, temperatures, and environments. These sidearms use pressurized CO2 gas to push airsoft BBs down the handgun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within the cylinder and is normally stored in the gun’s magazine.
These styles of airsoft handguns are excellent for airsoft games in cold weather conditions given that the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less susceptible to variation by low temperature. This provides good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for example where other types of airsoft pistols like green gas cease to work or hardly fire BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges resemble a chrome metal cylinder and hold high pressured CO2 gas composed of just one carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms, and so the molecular formula comes out to be “C + O2 “. These atoms are attached in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is stored in the 12 gram cartridges under extremely high pressure of about ~ 800psi which converts to 55bar.
The CO2 gas cylinders are not refillable and you can usually order them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely and securely inside, once they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft handgun breaks the cartridge seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are not used up. You should attempt to consume the entire CO2 cartridge the exact same day you open the seal. Use the chance to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas if the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level sign on the cartridge so you have to shoot up until the gun stops firing airsoft BBs.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if the cylinders are kept sealed. They do have the supplier’s expiration date typically listed on the package or cartridge, but they may last for a prolonged time past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft pistols are comparable to CO2 pistols, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. The impact on the battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is virtually the exact same as CO2 handguns with the guns at around 300+ FPS.
The propane gas is stashed in the handgun’s mag that can commonly hold in-between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending on the pistol design. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and seals keep the gas pressurized in the magazine before the pistol’s trigger is squeezed.
When playing with a green gas pistol on the airsoft field as a backup or primary weapon, extra pistol mags are recommended for rapidly reloading and getting back into the game. Having additional magazines allows you to join in the action during firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas handguns are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields since long guns and full-sized AEGs are typically not authorized to be used during indoor game play. This is an essential safety rule because of the close range distance of airsoft players during shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas handguns still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy propelling the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various types of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs and non-blowback pistols. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Since the green gas or propane is held in the handgun mag by rubber seals, o-rings, and silicone gaskets, cold weather can affect these seals and cause the stored gas to leak out prior to shooting the handgun. The lack of pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to just land a couple of feet away (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the GBB handgun would usually shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temperatures).
One fix for this challenge is to keep the GBB pistol magazines warmer by putting them next to your body prior to airsoft game play. This can help to warm the rubber gaskets and help to seal in the green gas. It can also be worth getting a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun if you truly want to play airsoft with a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and the gun shoots better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Facts About Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft guns are powered by powerful coil springs that launch the BBs down the handgun barrel. They are normally able to only shoot one BB at a time. The manual actions of cocking, reloading, and shooting spring airsoft guns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols. This makes them fun to use, yet they can be less useful when dealing with adversaries on the airsoft field with fully automatic airsoft AEG SMGs and CO2 or GBB airsoft pistols.
Spring sidearms and guns perform best in springer battles where opponents can exclusively use related, single shot spring weapons or as an alternative backup gun for CQB environments when you can frequently surprise other airsoft players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a rapid 2nd follow-up shot will not be really needed since the other person is already hit and out of the gameplay or heading back to respawn. When engaging a number of foes since the springer only fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring handguns are really reliable under the proper conditions during games. Spring guns like pistols can typically shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but accuracy reduces quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to use as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s butt. They function much like an AEG SMG and use forced air forced through electrically cycled cylinders and gearboxes to shoot airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG handgun mags normally can carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs right up to around 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or about 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electrically powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute which is estimated if you have enough spare magazines to reload (after every 20 to 30 shots) and the battery holds out that long. These AEP pistols can precisely fire airsoft BBs at around 150 foot distances.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually grown significantly in the last few years. The first gens were a bit questionable and undependable, but the latest models have the bugs worked out and make efficient airsoft secondary weapons. They can be further upgraded with enhanced magazine storage capacities together with accommodating bigger batteries.
A big benefit of buying an AEG pistol is that you have the opportunity to rewire the battery connectors to use a bigger battery with higher mAh. Depending on the AEG pistol type, you can get a large jump in functionality using a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) in place of the stock battery. Beware of customizing the parts and wires since you have to take into account the voltages, mAh, and loads of the batteries. If you have modding questions, ask a qualified airsoft gun service technician at your nearest airsoft store.
What Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me?
Looking for the most ideal airsoft handgun for you depends on how much you can afford to spend, how often you desire to play airsoft using it, and where you plan to play. If you can afford more than one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft pistol, consider a green gas pistol or AEG handgun. These guns are typically the best of the best, have the most effective build qualities, and are usually a really good investment. If you can afford between $50 to $100 to spend, look at a CO2 handgun or less expensive green gas blowback pistol. These guns will still function well and are pretty tough sidearms. Look for a lower end CO2 or spring pistol if you have fifty dollars or less. You can still get a resilient airsoft pistol to use for the pistol airsoft guns.
