Airsoft Pistol Type Info
Find information about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as secondary guns or as core weapons on the airsoft playing field. A lot of airsoft pistols are completely accredited replications of their actual firearm equivalents and function and look in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of real bullets.
There are a few kinds of airsoft pistols consisting of CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric sidearms. Each of these types of sidearms has positives and negatives related to them. Learning more about the kinds of airsoft pistols allows you to decide which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft sidearms are among the most sturdy and common types of handguns. They are all-weather pistols and operate well in many kinds of weather, temperatures, and climates. These handguns use pressurized CO2 gas to shoot airsoft BBs down the handgun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within the cylinder and is generally located in the pistol’s handle.
These types of airsoft pistols are exceptional for airsoft games in colder weather given that the high pressure CO2 gas is less vulnerable to performance variations by temperature. This offers good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for instance where other sorts of airsoft handguns like green gas cease to work or barely shoot airsoft BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges resemble a metal cylinder and contain high pressure CO2 gas comprised of a single carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely within, but as soon as they are opened (firing them in an airsoft gun 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 remaining gas.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if the cylinders are stored sealed. They have a maker’s use by date normally listed on the box or cartridge, however, they can stay pressurized for an extended period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not punctured.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Handgun Facts
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 pistols, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. The impact on the battleground and green gas weapon performance is practically the same as CO2 handguns with the weapons at around 300+ FPS.
The propane is kept in the handgun’s mag that can often hold in-between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the handgun style. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas stored in the magazine before the handgun’s trigger is pulled.
When bringing a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a backup or main gun, extra handgun mags are encouraged for quickly reloading and engaging opponents. Having additional mags allows you to reengage in the action throughout firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas pistols are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields because rifles and full-sized AEGs are normally not allowed to be used during indoor gameplay. This is a safety rule due to the close range proximity of gamers during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas pistols still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy sending the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various varieties of green gas airsoft handguns. To start with there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These pistols operate like a genuine pistol with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” with every shot. The gas triggers the slide to cycle each time a new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. This functioning while shooting is extremely cool, but the pistols frequently are more expensive and likely have more which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a fixed slide which does not move. The non-blowback guns commonly cost less than GBBs. Performance is about the same when comparing the two styles of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
While green gas generally can be used very well, it does have restrictions. For example, when they are used throughout the winter airsoft season in the snow or in cold weather (like under 32 deg F). Given that the green gas or propane gas is stored in the mag using rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, the cold can impact the seals and make the stored gas to seep out prior to shooting airsoft BBs. The depressurized gas can cause the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when it would normally shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather).
One solution to this problem is to try to keep the GBB pistol magazines warmer by holding them near your body before game play. This can help to heat up the seals, gaskets, and valves and better seal in the green gas. It can also be worth checking out a CO2 variation of your favorite pistol if you actually prefer to play airsoft with a reputable airsoft pistol in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and the gun shoots much better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Facts About Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that fire the BBs down the gun barrel. They are usually only able to shoot one BB. The manual action of reloading, cocking, and shooting spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns. This makes spring guns fun to use, yet they can be less practical when running into adversaries on the airsoft field with upgraded airsoft guns like fully automatic airsoft AEG rifles, SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols.
Spring guns work best in springer battles where game players can exclusively use related, single shot spring pistols or as a transition weapon for CQB buildings when you can frequently surprise other airsoft opponents to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a quick 2nd followup shot isn’t required since the other player is now hit by the airsoft BB and out of the game play or going back to respawn. Take care when fighting numerous players due to the fact that the spring gun just fires as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring pistols are quite efficient under the appropriate game conditions. Their FPS generally chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12g airsoft BBs. These pistols usually fire lighter weight airsoft BBs because the springs are less effective than other kinds of airsoft weapons. Spring pistols can normally engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however accuracy decreases quickly. Shooting normal 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a range of around 60 to 80 feet with increased precision.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handgun Facts
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to carry as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s grip. They function just like an AEG SMG and use compressed air with electrically cycled cylinders and gearboxes to shoot airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol mags typically carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually grown significantly in the last few years. The first generation AEP guns were a little bit unreliable and questionable, but the more recent designs have most of the bugs resolved and make reliable airsoft secondary guns. They can be modded with increased magazine storage capacities and by accommodating larger batteries.
A large advantage of using an AEG pistol is that you have the capability to rewire the connections to use a more substantial battery with longer life. Based on the AEG pistol model, you may be able to gain a large output in efficiency using a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) in place of the stock battery. Take extra precautions when modifying the parts and the gun’s wires since you need to take into consideration the voltages, mAh, and electrical loads of the battery. If you have modding concerns, ask a pro airsoft technician at your closest airsoft shop.
What Airsoft Handgun is Best for Me to Buy?
If you have over one-hundred dollars to use to buy your airsoft pistol, evaluate a green gas blowback handgun or automatic electric handgun. If you have between $50 to $100 to invest, check out a CO2 pistol or more affordable GBB handgun. If you are on a budget, you can still choose a durable airsoft pistol to use for the handgun games.
