Airsoft Handgun Style Info
Learn about airsoft guns like pistols 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 make an impact in improving your shots. Sidearms, by nature, are short range airsoft guns. They are commonly manufactured after real world pistols or copies of real handguns. Many different airsoft handguns are completely licensed reproductions of their real firearm counterparts. These airsoft guns can run in the same ways and look identical to the real guns they are modeled around while firing airsoft BBs instead of actual bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft sidearms consisting of CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these types of pistols come with benefits and differences related to them. Learning more about the varieties of airsoft handguns lets you make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
About CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most common and long-lasting styles of pistols. They are all-season, all-weather handguns and operate well in lots of kinds of temperatures, weather and environments. These sidearms use high pressure CO2 gas to launch airsoft BBs down the pistol barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within the cylinder and is usually stored in the pistol’s magazine in the handle.
These styles of airsoft handguns are great for airsoft games in cold weather since the compressed CO2 gas is less prone to performance decreases caused by temperature. This fact provides excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for example where other varieties of handguns like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly fire BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look like a metallic cylinder and hold high-pressure CO2 gas consisting of just one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms hence the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The CO2 cylinders cannot be refilled and you can normally purchase them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely inside, but the moment they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft weapon breaks the seal) they will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. You should attempt to use up the whole CO2 cartridge the very same day you open the seal. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas leftover, use the opportunity to do some handgun target practice and expend the remainder of the excess gas. There is no gas level indicator on the cartridge so you have to shoot up until the weapon stops shooting BBs.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if they are stored sealed. They do have a supplier’s best used by date normally printed on the package or cylinder, however they can maintain pressure for a long period past this date if the cartridge seals are not tampered with.
Info About Green Gas Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 handguns, however they use propane gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The result on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is virtually the very same as CO2 pistols with the guns at around 300+ FPS.
The propane is stored in the handgun’s airsoft mag that can typically hold around 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the pistol design. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and seals keep the gas stored in the magazine up until the handgun’s trigger is squeezed.
When using a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field or arena as a backup or primary weapon, extra mags are recommended for quickly reloading and getting back into the game. Having extra mags on-hand helps you get back in the action throughout firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields considering long guns and full-sized AEGs are typically not allowed to be used during indoor game play. This is an essential safety regulation due to the close quarters distance of airsoft players during shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas pistols still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel assists to keep the joules and energy propelling the BB at a lower level compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different styles of green gas airsoft handguns. First, there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These handguns work like an authentic handgun with the gun’s slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. The propane triggers the slide to cycle when a fresh airsoft BB is chambered. This functionality is very cool, but the pistols often are more expensive and possibly have more parts that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns use a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback pistols commonly cost less than GBBs. Performance is about the same when comparing the two kinds of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Since the green gas or propane is stored in the pistol mag by using rubber seals and silicone gaskets, the cold can negatively affect these o-rings and allow the gas to leak out prior to shooting. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to just shoot a couple of feet away (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when the pistol would normally shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temperatures).
One fix for this issue is to make the GBB handgun magazines warmer by placing them near your body prior to airsoft game play. This can help to warm the rubber gaskets and better seal in the green gas. If you really prefer to play with a dependable airsoft handgun in the cold, it might also be worth buying a CO2 version of your preferred pistol. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and the gun will shoot far better in sub-freezing temperatures and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by powerful springs with irregular pitches that fire the BBs down the pistol barrel. They are generally able to only shoot one BB at a time. The manual actions of reloading, cocking, and shooting spring airsoft guns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns. When facing other players on the airsoft field with upgraded weapons, fully auto airsoft AEG rifles and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft handguns, this can make them fun to use, but less efficient.
Spring pistols work most effectively in springer wars where game players can only use similar, single shot spring handguns or as a transitional backup gun for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can frequently surprise other airsoft participants to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a quick second follow-up shot is not needed since the other player is already struck and out of the game play or moving back to respawn. When engaging multiple opponents considering that the gun only fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring pistols are remarkably useful under the right conditions during airsoft games. Spring handguns can typically shoot accurately up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to hit targets decreases rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearm Details
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to bring into the field as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s butt. They function just like an AEG gun and use pressured air with electrically cycled pistons and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG handgun magazines generally carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can launch airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually increased considerably in the last few years. The early gen guns were a bit questionable and unreliable, but the latest versions have most of the problems resolved and make reliable airsoft backup weapons. They can be further upgraded with increased magazine storage capacities and also accommodating larger batteries.
A significant perk of buying an AEG pistol is that you have the opportunity to rewire the connectors to use a bigger battery with longer life. Depending on the AEG handgun type, you are able to gain a large output in performance by utilizing a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) rather than the stock mini battery. Be careful when customizing the elements and wires because you have to consider the volts, mAh, and electrical loads of the battery. If you have modding concerns, ask a professional gun specialist at your closest airsoft shop or store.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me to Play with?
Picking the ideal airsoft handgun for you depends upon how much you can afford, how much you wish to play airsoft using it, and where you decide to play. Consider a GBB handgun or AEG pistol if you have over one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft handgun. These are typically the best of the best, have good efficiency, and could be a good sidearm to buy. If you have in-between more than $50 but less than $100 to spend on upgrading your airsoft arsenal, look into a CO2 pistol or more affordable green gas blowback pistol. These mid-tier guns will still get the job done and are long lasting sidearms. Look for a lower end CO2 or spring pistol if you have fifty dollars or less. You can still buy a heavy-duty airsoft pistol to use for the handgun airsoft guns.
