Airsoft Pistol Design Additional Info
Find information about airsoft handguns and sidearms and how you can use them as secondary weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. A large number of airsoft handguns are completely manufactured and licensed replications of their real weapon counterparts and look and operate in the same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than authentic bullets.
There are several varieties of airsoft sidearms such as CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun pistols. Each of these styles of sidearms come with negatives and positives connected with them. Learning about the types of airsoft handguns lets you figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Sidearm Details
CO2 airsoft sidearms are among the most common and heavy duty varieties of handguns. They are all season, all weather weapons and operate well in a lot of types of temperatures, weather and environments. These sidearms use high pressure CO2 gas to move airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within the cylinder and is typically kept in the pistol’s magazine inside the handle.
These kinds of airsoft handguns are exceptional for playing in cold temperatures due to the fact that the pressurized CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less sensitive to performance decreases by temperature levels. This fact provides good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for example where other types of handguns like green gas stuffer from low performance or barely shoot BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by common 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges resemble a metallic cylinder and store high pressure CO2 gas made up of just one carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms, subsequently the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are bound in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is stored in the 12 gram cartridge cylinders under very high pressure of close to ~ 800psi which translates to 55bar.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely inside, however when they are opened (firing them in an airsoft pistol breaks the cartridge seal) they will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the chance to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They come with the supplier’s expiry date usually marked on the box or cartridge cylinder, however they can maintain pressure for an extended time past this date if the cartridge seal is not tampered with.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Pistol Information
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 pistols, but they use green gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The effect on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is almost the exact same as CO2 pistols with the weapons at around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is stashed in the handgun’s airsoft mag which can normally hold between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending on the handgun style. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas stored in the magazine till the pistol’s trigger is squeezed.
When carrying a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field or arena as a secondary or primary weapon, additional handgun magazines are strongly recommended for rapidly reloading. Having extra mags allows you to re-engage in the action throughout firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are normally not permitted to be used during indoor shooting. This is a safety rule because of the close range proximity of players during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas handguns still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy forcing the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different types of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs and non-blowback pistols. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
While green gas typically can be used effectively on the airsoft field, it does have issues. For example, when green gas guns are used in the winter in the snow or in colder temperatures (like less than 32 deg F). Because the green gas or propane is held in the weapon’s mag by rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, low temperatures can impair these seals and make the stored gas to leak out before shooting airsoft BBs. This can make the airsoft BBs to just shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the pistol would normally shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather).
One solution to this problem is to make the GBB pistol mags warmer by holding them inside your jacket next to your body just before the airsoft game play. This can help to warm the rubber seals and better seal in the green gas. If you really prefer to have fun with a reputable airsoft handgun in the cold, it may also be better to get a CO2 version of your preferred handgun. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and the gun shoots better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Sidearm Info
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by strong coil springs that propel the BBs out of the pistol’s barrel. The manual functions of reloading, shooting, and cocking spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns.
Spring sidearms work best in springer wars where airsoft players can only use related, single shot spring guns or as an alternative backup gun for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can often sneak up to other airsoft players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a rapid 2nd follow-up shot is not needed given that the other player is now hit by the first shot and out of the gameplay or moving back to respawn. Beware when attacking a number of opponents due to the fact that the weapon just fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring handguns are remarkably efficient under the proper scenarios and airsoft games. Their FPS usually chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These pistols usually fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the coiled springs are less effective than other kinds of airsoft weapons. Spring handguns can typically be accurate at up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but accuracy decreases quickly. Choosing basic 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a decreased shooting distance of around 60 to 80 feet or less with enhanced precision.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handgun Information
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to carry as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s handle. They function similar to an AEG SMG and use pressured air with electrically cycled pistons and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol magazines generally hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can launch airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has risen significantly recently. The earliest gens were a little bit unreliable and questionable, however the more recent designs have the issues worked out and make reliable airsoft secondary weapons. They can be upgraded with maximized mag storage capacities together with accommodating bigger batteries.
A huge perk of buying an AEG handgun is that you have the opportunity to rewire the connectors to use a larger battery. Depending on the AEG handgun type, you can get a big boost in performance and fire rate using a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as an alternative to the standard mini battery. Beware of adjusting the elements and wires since you need to take into consideration the volts, mAh, and electrical loads of the batteries. If you have customization questions, ask an experienced airsoft tech at your nearest airsoft shop.
What Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me to Buy?
Deciding on the most ideal airsoft handgun for you depends on your budget, how often you intend to play airsoft using it, and where you hope to play. If you can use over one-hundred dollars to invest in your airsoft pistol, look into a green gas blowback pistol or AEP pistol. These guns are normally the top-tier guns, have good efficiency, and could be a good gun to get. Check out a CO2 handgun or less costly green gas GBB pistol if you have in-between fifty to one-hundred dollars to spend. Middle of the road guns like these will still finish the job and are long lasting sidearms. If you have less than fifty dollars, consider a cheaper CO2 or springer handgun. You can still buy a well-built airsoft pistol to use for the handgun games.
