Airsoft Pistol Design Information
Find out about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as backup guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the ideal pistol and practicing with it can be a game changer in nailing your shots. Sidearms, naturally, are lower range airsoft guns. They are quite often made after real sidearms or look-alikes of actual handguns. Lots of airsoft handguns are fully licensed reproductions of their real world firearm counterparts. These airsoft guns can visually appear and run in the same ways almost identically to the real guns they are designed around while shooting airsoft BBs as opposed to real-world bullets.
There are several kinds of airsoft pistols including CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these varieties of handguns have negatives and positives related to them. Finding out about the varieties of airsoft sidearms lets you make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most common and sturdy types of handguns. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to send airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel.
These types of airsoft weapons are great for playing in cooler weather conditions given that the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less susceptible to FPS decreases caused by temperature. This provides great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for example where other sorts of airsoft sidearms like green gas cease to work or hardly shoot BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a shiny steel cylinder and contain high pressure CO2 gas comprised of a single carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms, for this reason the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are connected in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cylinders under extremely high pressure of close to ~ 800psi which translates to 55bar.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely within, however as soon as they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft gun breaks the cartridge 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 opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They do have a manufacturer’s use by date normally marked on the package or cylinder, but they can stay pressurized for a very long time past this date if the cartridge seals are not broken.
Green Gas Airsoft Handgun Facts
Green gas airsoft pistols are comparable to CO2 handguns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. The impact on the battlefield and green gas weapon performance is practically the same as CO2 handguns with the guns at about 300+ FPS.
The green gas is stored in the pistol’s mag which can typically hold in-between 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the handgun type. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and seals keep the gas pressurized in the magazine until the pistol’s trigger is pulled.
When bringing a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a secondary or main weapon, additional mags are encouraged for quickly reloading and engaging the op force. Having additional mags on-hand allows you to re-engage in the action in the middle of firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas handguns are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles and full-sized AEGs are usually not permitted to be used during indoor shooting. This is a safety standard because of the close quarters proximity of players during shooting engagements. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy sending the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various styles of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas normally works extremely well, it does have restrictions. For example, when they are used in the winter season in the snow or in colder temperatures (like less than 32 deg F). Because the green gas or propane is stored in the weapon’s mag using silicone seals and gaskets, cold temperatures can affect the seals and cause the stored gas to leak out before firing the pistol. The depressurized gas can make the airsoft BBs to just shoot several feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the pistol would ordinarily shoot BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temps).
One solution to this problem is to try to keep the GBB handgun mags warmer by positioning them next to a heat source or by your body before airsoft game play. This can help to warm the seals and better seal in the green gas. It might also be worth checking out a CO2 version of your preferred pistol if you truly need to play with a dependable airsoft pistol in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and the gun shoots far better in sub-freezing temperatures and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Sidearm Facts
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by powerful coil springs that fire the BBs out of the handgun barrel. They are generally only able to shoot one BB. The manual actions of reloading, cocking, and firing spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns. This makes spring airsoft pistols enjoyable to use, yet they can be less successful when fighting other players 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 airsoft guns perform best in springer battles where airsoft players can exclusively use related, single shot spring pistols or as an alternative backup gun for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can frequently quietly sneak up on other airsoft game players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a rapid second follow-up shot isn’t called for considering that the other player is now hit by the airsoft BB and out of the gameplay or headed back to respawn. Look out when fighting multiple airsoft players due to the fact that the springer only fires as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring handguns are remarkably useful under the best circumstances and airsoft games. Their FPS normally chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12g airsoft BBs. These handguns typically fire lighter weight airsoft BBs since the pitched springs are less effective than other kinds of airsoft guns like SMGs. Spring handguns can typically be accurate at up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to engage targets accurately diminishes quickly. Shooting conventional 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a decreased range of around 60 to 80 feet or less with heightened target accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearm Details
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also an option to carry as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are often powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s butt. They operate much like an AEG SMG and use compressed air forced through electrically cycled pistons, cylinders, and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG pistol magazines generally can carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs right up to around 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or around 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electric gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which is estimated if you have enough magazines to reload and the battery maintains its charge that long. These AEP pistols can precisely shoot airsoft BBs at around 150 foot ranges.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has actually increased significantly over the last few years. The first generations were a bit unreliable and questionable, but the new models have most of the problems worked out and make reliable airsoft secondary weapons. They can be further modified with enhanced magazine storage capacities together with accommodating bigger batteries.
A significant advantage 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 style, you can gain a substantial increase in efficiency by taking advantage of a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock battery.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me to Buy?
Choosing the right airsoft handgun for you depends upon how much you can afford to spend, how often you would like to play airsoft with it, and where you plan to play. If you can afford $100 or more to spend on your airsoft pistol, check out a green gas handgun or AEP handgun. These guns are usually the top-tier guns, have good build qualities, and can be a great gun to invest in. Take a look at a CO2 pistol or more affordable GBB pistol if you have about more than $50 but less than $100 to put towards an airsoft gun purchase. Middle of the road guns like these will still finish the job and will be tough sidearms. Look for a low end CO2 or spring handgun if you have less than $50. You can still find a well-built airsoft handgun to use for the handgun games.
