Airsoft Pistol Variety Additional Information
Find information about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as extra guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. A lot of airsoft pistols are fully manufactured and licensed replications of their real handgun counterparts and function and appear in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than actual bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns such as CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these types of pistols come with negatives and positives connected with them. Learning about the types of airsoft handguns allows you to decide which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
About CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft sidearms are among the most durable and common types of handguns. They are all season, all weather weapons and work well in many kinds of weather, temperatures, and climates. These handguns use pressurized CO2 gas to force airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within the cylinder and is typically held in the pistol’s magazine inside the handle.
These styles of airsoft pistols are good for playing in cold temperatures since the high pressure CO2 gas is less prone to variation with low temperatures. This fact offers excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for example where other varieties of airsoft handguns like green gas cease to function or hardly fire airsoft BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by typical 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges resemble a metallic cylinder and hold high pressure CO2 gas made up of 1 carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The CO2 gas cartridges cannot be refilled and you can normally buy them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to retain the CO2 gas securely inside, once they are punctured (firing them in an airsoft pistol breaks the seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are not used up. You ought to attempt to burn up the whole CO2 cartridge the exact same day you open the seal. Use the chance to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas if the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level indicator on the cartridge so you have to shoot up until the weapon stops firing.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if the cylinders are stored sealed. They do have the manufacturer’s expiry date typically printed on the package or cartridge cylinder, however they can survive for a long period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 handguns, but they use propane gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The effect on the battlefield and green gas weapon performance is virtually the same as CO2 handguns with the weapons shooting up to 300+ FPS.
The green gas is held in the handgun’s mag and can typically hold in-between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending on the handgun design. A set of valves, rubberized stoppers, and o-rings keep the green gas housed in the mag up until the pistol’s trigger is squeezed. It is a good choice to refill and top off your green gas supply in your pistol mag each time you load it into the gun. Pistol-wielding players can also carry excess bottles of green gas or propane in the field for refilling mags in-between breaks in the fight or in-between activities.
When bringing a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or secondary weapon, additional handgun mags are recommended for quickly reloading and engaging opponents. Having extra magazines on-hand helps you join in the action during firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas pistols are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles and full-sized AEGs are usually not allowed to be used for indoor game play. This is an essential safety standard due to the close quarters distance of gamers during shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas pistols still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy sending the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various types of green gas airsoft handguns. To begin with there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These handguns operate like a legitimate pistol with the slide “blowing back” with every shot. Every time a brand-new airsoft BB is chambered, the gas causes the slide to cycle. The result is really cool, but the GBB pistols typically are more expensive and likely have more parts to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a stationary slide which does not move. The non-blowback guns typically cost less than GBBs. Performance is about the same when comparing the two types of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
While green gas usually works effectively on the airsoft field, it does have limits. This includes when they are used in the winter airsoft games in the snow or in colder weather (like under 32 degrees F). Because the green gas or propane gas is stored in the magazine using silicone seals and gaskets, the cold can affect the seals and trigger the gas to seep out prior to firing the handgun. This can make the airsoft BBs to merely shoot several feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the pistol would ordinarily shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temperatures).
One solution to this issue is to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by positioning them next to your body prior to the airsoft game play starts. If you absolutely desire to play with a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold, it may also be worth getting a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun.
Spring Airsoft Pistol Information
Spring airsoft guns are powered by powerful springs with irregular pitches that launch the airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel. They are usually single shot. The manual action of cocking, reloading, and shooting spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns. When going up against foes on the airsoft field with fully automatic airsoft AEG rifles, SMGs, and CO2 or GBB airsoft handguns, this can make spring guns enjoyable to use, however less effective.
Spring pistols work best in springer wars where airsoft players can exclusively use similar, single shot spring pistols or as a close quarters backup weapon for CQB environments when you can often surprise other airsoft participants to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a fast second follow-up shot is not really needed due to the fact that the other player is already hit by the airsoft BB and out of the gameplay or running back to respawn. When engaging numerous opponents because the gun only shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be careful.
About Spring Handgun Efficiency
Spring handguns are quite effective under the best game circumstances. Their FPS commonly chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12g airsoft BBs. These handguns usually fire lighter weight airsoft BBs since the coiled springs are less powerful than other styles of airsoft guns. Spring guns can usually engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however the ability to hit targets accurately diminishes quickly. Using standard 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a reduced shooting distance of around 60 to 80 feet with enhanced accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearm Facts
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to bring into the field as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s butt. They work just like an AEG gun and use compressed air pumped through electrically cycled pistons and gearboxes to shoot airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol magazines generally hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has actually risen substantially over the last few years. The first gen guns were a bit unreliable and sketchy, but the more recent versions have most of the issues worked out and make reliable airsoft secondary weapons. They can be further upgraded with enhanced magazine storage capacities along with accommodating bigger batteries.
A substantial perk of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the capability to rewire the wires to use a bigger battery. Depending upon the AEG pistol design, you may be able to get a big leap in performance and fire rate by using a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as opposed to the standard mini battery. Beware of adjusting the elements and wires since you need to think about the volts, mAh, and loads of the battery. If you have modding questions, ask a professional airsoft tech at your local airsoft store.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me to Buy?
Looking for the best airsoft handgun for you depends on your gun budget, how often you intend to play airsoft with it, and where you hope to play. If you can use more than $100 to invest in your airsoft handgun, look at a green gas handgun or AEG handgun. These guns are typically the top of the line, have great build qualities, and can be a good investment. Consider a CO2 pistol or less expensive green gas GBB pistol if you have between more than $50 but less than $100 to invest. These will still work well and will be pretty durable sidearms. If you have fifty dollars or less, search for a cheaper CO2 or springer pistol. You can still find a heavy-duty airsoft pistol to use for the pistol games.
