About Airsoft Handgun Designs
Find information about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as core weapons on the airsoft playing field. A large number of airsoft handguns are completely approved and licensed variations of their actual pistol equivalents and operate and look in the same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of actual bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft sidearms such as CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun pistols. Each of these styles of pistols come with benefits and differences related to them. Finding out about the types of airsoft sidearms helps you decide which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft pistols are among the most typical and long lasting styles of handguns. They are all weather handguns and operate well in lots of kinds of weather, extreme temperatures, and climates. These pistols use pressurized CO2 gas to propel airsoft BBs down the pistol barrel. The CO2 cartridge is typically kept in the pistol’s mag inside the handle.
These kinds of airsoft guns are good for playing in cooler weather since the compressed CO2 gas is less prone to performance variations by low temperatures. This offers exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for instance where other sorts of airsoft sidearms like green gas stuffer from low performance or barely fire BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by common 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a shiny steel cylinder and store high pressure CO2 gas consisting of just one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms, thus the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are bound in the following order “O= C =O”. The gas is held in the 12 gram cylinders under really high pressure of close to ~ 800psi that converts to 55bar.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, but when they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft gun breaks the seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the chance to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the excess gas.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while if the cylinders are stored sealed. They do have the manufacturer’s expiry date usually noted on the package or cartridge cylinder, but they will probably last for a prolonged period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not broken.
Green Gas Airsoft Handgun Details
Green gas airsoft pistols are comparable to CO2 pistols, however they use green gas or propane instead of CO2 cartridges. The effect on the battleground and green gas weapon performance is practically the exact same as CO2 handguns with the guns at about 300+ FPS.
The green gas is kept in the handgun’s grip within the magazine which can frequently hold around 15 to 20+ 6mm airsoft BBs depending on the gun style. A bunch of valves, rubber stoppers, and o-rings keep the green gas sealed in the pistol magazine prior to when the pistol’s trigger is squeezed. It is a good habit to top off and fill up the propane reserves in your pistol mag each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding players can additionally bring extra bottles of green gas in the field for reloading magazines in-between lulls in the fight or between activities.
When using a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a backup or main weapon, bringing additional magazines is highly recommended for rapidly reloading and getting back into the game. Having extra magazines on-hand allows you to re-engage in the action during firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are normally not permitted to be used during indoor shooting. This is an essential safety rule because of the close quarters distance of players during shooting engagements. While green gas pistols still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel helps to keep the joules and energy launching the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, 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 pistols. To start with there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These pistols function like a genuine handgun with the slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. The propane causes the slide to cycle every time a brand-new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. The result is really cool, however the GBB weapons frequently are more expensive and potentially have more to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a fixed slide which does not move. The non-blowback pistols typically cost less than GBBs. Performance is around the same when comparing the two types of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas normally performs very well, it does have issues. When they are used over the winter airsoft games in the snow or in cold temperatures (such as under 32 deg F). Considering that the green gas or propane is held in the mag using rubber seals and gaskets, the cold can negatively impact the seals and allow the gas to escape before firing the handgun. This can cause the airsoft BBs to just shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when it would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather conditions).
One option to fix this issue is to keep the GBB handgun magazines warmer by putting them inside your jacket next to your body just before the game play. This can help to warm up the rubber gaskets and help to seal in the green gas. If you really desire to have fun with a reputable airsoft pistol in the cold, it may also be better to get a CO2 version of your favorite pistol. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and the gun will shoot much better in sub-freezing temperatures and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by powerful coil springs that launch the BBs out of the pistol barrel. The manual functions of shooting, reloading, and cocking spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols.
Spring pistols work best in springer battles where participants can just use comparable, single shot spring pistols or as a close quarters combat weapon for CQB environments when you can often surprise other airsoft players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a quick second followup shot is not really needed due to the fact that the other opponent is now hit and out of the game or going back to respawn. Look out when fighting multiple airsoft players due to the fact that the weapon just shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Handgun Effectiveness
Spring handguns are extremely useful under the right conditions during airsoft games. Their FPS often chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These guns generally fire lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the springs are less effective than other types of airsoft guns like SMGs. Spring guns can normally shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to engage targets diminishes rapidly. Shooting regular 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a range of about 60 to 80 feet with increased accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistol Facts
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also an option to bring into the field as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s butt. They work just like an AEG SMG and use forced air pumped through electrically cycled pistons, cylinders, and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol mags generally carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12g airsoft BBs or about 200 to 250 FPS when loaded with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electric battery powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute which depends if you have enough spare magazines to reload (after every 20 to 30 shots) and the battery holds out that long. These handguns can efficiently shoot airsoft BBs at around 150 foot ranges.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually grown significantly in recent years. The early generations were a little bit sketchy and undependable, but the new designs have most of the deficiencies worked out and make efficient airsoft secondary weapons. They can be upgraded with increased mag capacities and also accommodating more powerful batteries.
A large benefit of using an AEG pistol is that you have the power to rewire the connectors to use a more substantial battery. Depending on the AEG handgun style, you can gain a huge jump in performance by employing a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) instead of the stock battery.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me to Buy?
If you have more than one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft handgun, you may want to consider a green gas blowback pistol or AEG handgun. If you have around fifty to one-hundred dollars to invest, look at a CO2 handgun or less expensive GBB handgun. You can still look for a resilient airsoft handgun by checking out lower end pistols and by trading with players selling used airsoft handguns if you are trying to save money.
