Information About Airsoft Handgun Types
Learn about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as extra weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Lots of airsoft handguns are completely manufacturer licensed versions of their real handgun counterparts and function and appear in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than genuine bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns including CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these kinds of handguns has negatives and positives associated with them. Learning more about the types of airsoft handguns allows you to choose which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Handgun Details
CO2 airsoft guns are one of the most typical and heavy-duty types of pistols. These pistols use pressurized CO2 gas to push airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel.
These types of airsoft pistols are good for playing in cold weather considering that the pressurized CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less vulnerable to FPS decreases by temperature levels. This provides excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for instance where other types of pistols like green gas stuffer from low performance or barely fire pellets.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a chrome cylinder and store high pressured CO2 gas comprised of 1 carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, but when they are opened (firing them inside of an airsoft gun 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.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They are made with a maker’s expiration date normally listed on the package or cylinder, but they can survive for a long period past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft pistols function similarly to CO2 guns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Alternatively, they use green gas or propane for propellant to shoot the airsoft pellets. The result on airsoft games and green gas sidearm operation is virtually the same as CO2 handguns with the weapons shooting up to about 300+ feet-per-second (FPS). Shots are rapidly fired in automatic or semi-automatic firing modes and can accurately hit targets at very short to mid-range ranges.
The propane is held in the pistol’s mag which can typically hold in-between 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the handgun design. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone seals keep the gas pressurized in the mag till the pistol’s trigger is pulled.
When playing with a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or secondary weapon, additional magazines are encouraged for quickly reloading and engaging the op force. Having extra magazines on-hand allows you to reengage in the action throughout firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas handguns are excellent for CQB at airsoft fields considering that long guns and full-sized AEGs are generally not allowed to be used during indoor shooting. This is a safety rule due to the close quarters distance of airsoft players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas handguns still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel helps to keep the joules and energy sending the BB at a lower level compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different types of green gas airsoft handguns. 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 Issues
Because the green gas or propane gas is housed in the magazine by using rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold weather can negatively influence these o-rings and cause the gas to leak out before shooting the pistol. This lack of pressure can make the airsoft BBs to merely land a few feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the gun would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather).
One option to fix this challenge is to try to keep the GBB pistol magazines warmer by positioning them next to your body prior to airsoft game play. This can help to heat up the seals, gaskets, and valves and better seal in the green gas. It may also be worth getting a CO2 variation of your preferred pistol if you truly want to play airsoft with a dependable airsoft handgun in the cold. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and perform far better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by powerful coil springs that launch the airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel. They are usually able to only shoot one BB. The manual actions of firing, reloading, and cocking spring guns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns. This makes them interesting to use, but they are usually less successful when fighting other players on the airsoft field with upgraded weapons, fully automatic airsoft AEG rifles, sniper rifles, and CO2 or GBB airsoft pistols.
Spring sidearms work most effectively in springer wars where players can just use similar, single shot spring pistols or as a transition weapon for CQB buildings when you can usually surprise other airsoft opponents to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a fast second follow-up shot is not called for due to the fact that the other opponent is now hit and out of the game or running back to respawn. When engaging multiple rivals considering that the spring gun simply fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring guns are really efficient under the ideal scenarios. Spring guns like pistols can often fire up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to engage targets decreases rapidly.
Info on AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to bring into the field as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s grip. They work similar to an AEG SMG and use pressured air with electrically cycled cylinders, pistons, and gearboxes to shoot airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very rapidly at that.
AEG handgun mags usually hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can launch airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has actually grown considerably in recent years. The earliest gens were a bit sketchy and undependable, however the latest models have most of the bugs worked out and make effective airsoft secondary guns. They can be further upgraded with increased mag storage capacities together with accommodating larger batteries.
A significant advantage of using an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the battery connectors to use a larger capacity battery. Depending on the AEG pistol model, you can gain a substantial jump in functionality by employing a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock AEP battery.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me to Buy?
If you have over $100 to use to buy your airsoft pistol, take a look at a green gas blowback handgun or AEG pistol. If you have in-between $50 to $100 to spend, check out a CO2 pistol or more affordable GBB pistol. If you have fifty dollars or less, you can still choose a durable airsoft pistol to use for the pistol games.
