Information About the Designs of Airsoft Handguns
Find out about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the right pistol and practicing with it can make an impact in nailing your shots. Pistols, by nature, are lower range airsoft weapons. They are most often fashioned after actual handguns or imitations of legitimate pistols. Quite a few airsoft sidearms are fully certified models of their authentic firearm equivalents. These airsoft guns can appear and function (without shooting bullets) in the same ways identical to the real guns they are designed after while blasting airsoft BBs in place of authentic bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft sidearms including CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric sidearms. Each of these kinds of pistols has negatives and positives connected with them. Learning about the varieties of airsoft pistols lets you figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Handgun Details
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most dependable and standard styles of pistols. They are all-season weapons working well in lots of kinds of varying temperatures, weather and climates. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to propel airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel. The CO2 cartridge is typically located in the gun’s magazine.
These forms of airsoft handguns are great choices for playing airsoft in cold and snowy weather conditions due to the fact that the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less prone to variation with temperature. This offers good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for example where other styles of sidearms like green gas cease to operate or barely shoot pellets.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look similar to a metallic cylinder and hold high pressure CO2 gas comprised of just one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The CO2 cartridges cannot be refilled and you can normally purchase them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to retain the CO2 gas safely within, once they are opened (firing them in an airsoft handgun breaks the cartridge seal) cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. You must attempt to deplete the entire CO2 cartridge the very same day you open the seal. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the chance to do some handgun target practice and burn up the remainder of the extra gas. There is no gas level indication on the cartridge so you have to shoot up until the pistol stops firing airsoft BBs.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime. They come with the manufacturer’s expiration date normally printed on the box or cartridge cylinder, however they will probably maintain pressure for a very long period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not broken.
Information About Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft pistols are comparable to CO2 handguns, but they use propane gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The impact on the battleground and green gas weapon efficiency is almost the very same as CO2 pistols with the weapons at about 300+ FPS.
The green gas is stored in the pistol’s mag which can often hold around 15 to 20+ 6mm BBs based on the pistol style. A set of valves, rubberized stoppers, and seals keep the propane gas pressurized in the pistol mag up until the handgun’s trigger is pulled. It is a great choice to refill and top off your propane supply in your magazine each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding gamers can also bring extra bottles of propane gas in the field for refilling in-between breaks in the fight or between gameplay.
When bringing a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a primary or backup weapon, bringing extra handgun magazines is advised for rapidly reloading and getting back into the game. Having extra mags on-hand allows you to get back in the action throughout firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas handguns are great for CQB at airsoft fields considering rifles and full-sized AEGs are normally not approved to be used for indoor engagements. This is a safety guideline because of the close quarters distance of airsoft players during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas pistols can still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy forcing the BB lower compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various sorts of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Since the green gas or propane gas is housed in the pistol magazine by using rubber o-rings, seals, and gaskets, cold temps can negatively affect these o-rings and allow the stored gas to escape before shooting. The lack of pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to only shoot a number of feet away (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the handgun would typically shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather).
One solution to this challenge is to make the GBB handgun magazines warmer by placing them next to your body just before the 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 buying a CO2 version of your favorite pistol if you actually need to play airsoft with a reputable airsoft pistol in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and perform far better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Sidearm Facts
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that propel the BBs out of the gun barrel. They are generally single-shot. The manual action of firing, cocking, and reloading spring guns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols. When engaging competitors on the airsoft field with advanced weaponry, auto airsoft AEG SMGs, assault rifles, sniper rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft handguns, this can make them enjoyable to use, however less effective.
Spring pistols work the best in springer battles where players can just use similar, single shot spring weapons or as a close quarters combat backup weapon for CQB buildings when you can usually quietly sneak up on other airsoft participants to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a fast 2nd followup shot isn’t required due to the fact that the other opponent is now hit by the first shot and out of the game play or going back to respawn. Be careful when fighting multiple airsoft players considering that the weapon just shoots as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring guns are extremely useful under the best conditions during airsoft games. Their FPS generally chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These guns normally fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the pitched springs are less effective than other types of airsoft guns like SMGs. Spring handguns can typically shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to engage targets is reduced quickly. Choosing conventional 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a range of around 60 to 80 feet or less with enhanced target accuracy.
Info on AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely an option to carry as a sidearm 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 gun and use forced air with electrically cycled gearboxes and cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG handgun magazines generally can hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or about 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electric gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which depends on if you have enough magazines to reload the gun and the battery maintains its charge that long. These AEP handguns can effectively fire airsoft BBs at around 150 foot distances.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has actually risen considerably in the last few years. The initial gen AEP guns were a bit questionable and undependable, however the latest versions have most of the deficiencies resolved and make efficient airsoft secondary guns. They can be upgraded with enhanced magazine storage capacities along with accommodating bigger batteries.
A large perk of using an AEG handgun is that you have the ability to rewire the battery connectors to use a more robust battery. Based on the AEG pistol version, you may be able to get a big leap in performance and fire rate utilizing a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as a replacement for the standard AEP battery. Take extra precautions when adjusting the components and the gun’s wires because you need to take into account the volts, mAh, and electrical loads of the batteries. If you have customization questions, ask a qualified airsoft gun specialist at your local airsoft shop.
What Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me to Play with?
Choosing the most ideal airsoft handgun for you depends upon your budget, how often you plan to play airsoft using it, and where you hope to play. If you can afford over one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft handgun, take a look at a green gas blowback handgun or AEP pistol. These kinds of handguns are usually the top-tier guns, have the most effective efficiency, and are usually a great gun to get. Look into a CO2 handgun or more affordable GBB pistol if you have around fifty to one-hundred dollars to put into an airsoft gun purchase. These mid-tier guns will still be fun to play with and can be pretty tough sidearms. If you have less than $50, consider a cheaper CO2 or springer pistol. You can still find a well-built airsoft handgun to use for the pistol airsoft guns.
