Airsoft Handgun Style Info
Find information about airsoft guns like pistols and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your shot accuracy and getting the right handgun can make all the difference in the accuracy of your shots. Pistols, naturally, are reduced range airsoft weapons. They are usually constructed after authentic sidearms or copies of real pistols. Numerous airsoft sidearms are fully licensed versions of their authentic gun equivalents. These airsoft guns can function (sans shooting bullets) in the same ways and look similarly to the real guns they are modeled around while shooting airsoft BBs instead of real bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns such as CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these varieties of handguns come with negatives and positives connected with them. Learning about the styles of airsoft sidearms allows you to decide which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Handgun Details
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most durable and typical types of sidearms. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to propel airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel.
These styles of airsoft weapons are exceptional for playing airsoft in cold and snowy weather due to the fact that the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less prone to performance decreases with low temperatures. This offers very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for example where other varieties of handguns like green gas cease to function or barely shoot pellets.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by common 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look like a chrome metal cylinder and store high pressured CO2 gas composed of just one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms, as a result of the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are bonded in the following order “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cartridge cylinders under really high pressure of around ~ 800psi that converts to 55bar.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, however soon after they are opened (firing them in an airsoft weapon breaks the cartridge seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They have a manufacturer’s expiration date normally listed on the package or cylinder, however, they may last for a very long period past this date if the cartridge seal is not tampered with.
Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft pistols are comparable to CO2 handguns, however they use green gas or propane instead of CO2 cartridges. The impact on the battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is practically the same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to 300+ FPS.
The propane gas is stored in the handgun’s airsoft magazine which can typically hold around 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending on the pistol design. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and o-rings keep the gas stored in the magazine up until the pistol’s trigger is squeezed.
When playing with a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a main or backup weapon, bringing additional mags is highly recommended for rapidly reloading. Having extra magazines on-hand helps you get back in the action in the course of firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas handguns are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields because long guns and full-sized AEGs are usually not authorized to be used during indoor game play. This is a safety standard because of the close range proximity of gamers during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas pistols still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy sending the BB lower compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various types of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Since the green gas or propane gas is housed in the magazine by using rubber seals, o-rings, and silicone gaskets, cold temperatures can negatively influence these seals and allow the gas to leak out prior to shooting the pistol. The decrease in pressure can make the airsoft BBs to only land a few feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the green gas handgun would typically shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather conditions).
One fix for this issue is to try to keep the GBB pistol magazines warmer by putting them next to a heat source or by your body just before the airsoft game play. This can help to warm up the rubber seals and help to seal in the green gas. It may also be worth checking out a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun if you truly prefer to play with a dependable airsoft handgun in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and the gun shoots much better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft guns are powered by powerful springs that send the BBs out of the pistol’s barrel. The manual action of reloading, firing, and cocking spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns.
Spring guns work most effectively in springer battles where participants can only use similar, single shot spring guns or as a transition weapon for CQB settings when you can often surprise other airsoft players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a quick 2nd followup shot is not really needed because the other player is now hit by the airsoft BB and out of the game or going back to respawn. Look out when attacking many different players given that the gun only fires as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring guns are really efficient under the proper scenarios. Their FPS normally chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12g airsoft BBs. These pistols typically fire lighter weight airsoft BBs because the springs are less powerful than other types of airsoft guns. Spring guns can typically engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs however the ability to engage targets accurately reduces rapidly. Shooting basic 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a reduced range of around 60 to 80 feet with increased target accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to bring as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are often powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s handle. They operate just like an AEG rifle and use compressed air pumped through electrically cycled cylinders and gearboxes to shoot airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG pistol mags typically can carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has risen considerably over the last few years. The earliest gens were a bit questionable and unreliable, but the new designs have most of the issues worked out and make efficient airsoft backup guns. They can be modded with increased magazine capacities along with accommodating more powerful batteries.
A huge benefit of using an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the battery connectors to use a larger capacity battery. Depending on the AEG pistol model, you can gain a huge increase in efficiency by using a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as an alternative for the stock battery.
Which Airsoft Handgun is Right for Me to Buy?
Selecting the ideal airsoft sidearm for you depends on your gun budget, how often you plan to play airsoft using it, and where you plan to play. Consider a green gas blowback pistol or automatic electric AEP pistol if you have over $100 to spend on your airsoft handgun. These kinds of handguns are normally the top of the line, have the very best build qualities, and could be an excellent gun to get. Check out a CO2 handgun or less expensive GBB handgun if you have around fifty to one-hundred dollars to put towards an airsoft gun purchase. Middle of the road guns like these will still work well and will be sturdy sidearms. If you have $50 or less, find a low end CO2 or spring handgun. You can still find a sturdy airsoft handgun to use for the handgun games.
