Airsoft Handgun Type Additional Info
Find information about airsoft pistols and sidearms 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 licensed versions of their authentic pistol equivalents and look and function in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of actual bullets.
There are a few varieties of airsoft pistols including CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these kinds of sidearms have benefits and differences related to them. Learning about the styles of airsoft handguns lets you make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most resilient and common types of handguns. These pistols use CO2 stored in small cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel.
These styles of airsoft weapons are good for playing airsoft in cooler weather conditions since the high pressure CO2 gas is less susceptible to FPS decreases by temperature. This fact gives CO2 airsoft sidearms very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for instance where other kinds of guns like green gas stuffer from low performance or barely shoot airsoft BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look like a metallic cylinder and hold high pressure CO2 gas comprised of one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms, as a result of the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are connected in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cartridges under very high pressure of roughly ~ 800psi that translates to 55bar.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, however the moment they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft weapon breaks the 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 chance to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime if the cylinders are stored sealed. They come with a supplier’s expiry date usually noted on the box or cylinder, however, they will likely last for a very long time past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft pistols resemble CO2 pistols, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. As an alternative, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to propel the airsoft BBs. The result on airsoft games and green gas sidearm performance is just about the same as CO2 handguns with the weapons shooting up to about 300+ feet per second (FPS). Shots are efficiently fired in fully-automatic or semi-automatic shooting modes and can accurately hit targets at very short to mid-range proximities.
The propane is stashed in the handgun’s airsoft mag which can typically hold in-between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the pistol type. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and silicone seals keep the gas stored in the magazine before the pistol’s trigger is squeezed.
When playing with a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a main or backup gun, additional magazines are advised for quickly reloading. Having extra mags on-hand helps you reengage in the action in the middle of firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas handguns are great for CQB at airsoft fields considering that rifles and full-sized AEGs are usually not authorized to be used for indoor gameplay. This is a safety rule due to the close range distance of airsoft players during shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas pistols still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy moving the BB lower compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different varieties of green gas airsoft handguns. First there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These handguns function like a legitimate handgun with the pistol slide “blowing back” with every shot. The gas induces the slide to cycle every time when a new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. The result is really cool, but the GBB handguns often cost more and possibly have more to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns use a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback pistols normally cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same when comparing the two varieties of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
While green gas typically works effectively, it does have limits. This includes when green gas guns are played with in the winter airsoft season in the snow or in very cold temperatures (like under 32 degrees F). Given that the green gas or propane is held in the pistol mag using silicone seals, o-rings, and gaskets, low temperatures can impact the seals and cause the stored gas to seep out before shooting. The depressurized gas can cause the airsoft BBs to only shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the gun would typically shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temps).
One fix to this issue is to make the GBB handgun mags warmer by holding them next to your body just before the airsoft game play starts. If you absolutely desire to play with a trustworthy airsoft pistol in the cold weather, it might also be worth getting a CO2 style of your preferred handgun.
Details About Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong coil springs that fire the BBs out of the gun barrel. The manual functions of shooting, cocking, and reloading spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB airsoft guns.
Spring sidearms and guns work most effectively in springer wars where game players can just use comparable, single shot spring guns or as a transition backup gun for CQB settings when you can frequently surprise other airsoft participants to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a rapid second follow-up shot is not needed since the other player is already hit by the airsoft BB and out of the gameplay or moving back to respawn. Take care when fighting many different players considering that the weapon just fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring handguns are remarkably effective under the most ideal game conditions. Spring guns like pistols can normally fire up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but the ability to hit targets reduces quickly.
Details About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to bring into the field as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s butt. They work just like an AEG rifle and use compressed air forced through electrically cycled pistons, gearboxes, and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG pistol mags normally can carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can launch airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has increased significantly over the last few years. The first generation guns were a little bit sketchy and unreliable, but the latest designs have most of the deficiencies worked out and make effective airsoft secondary weapons. They can be further modified with increased mag storage capacities as well as accommodating larger batteries.
A huge advantage of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the adapters to use a larger battery with longer life. Based on the AEG pistol type, you are able to gain a large jump in functionality by using a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) in place of the standard battery. Be careful with tweaking the components and the gun’s wires since you must think about the voltages, mAh, and electrical loads of the batteries. If you have customization concerns, ask a qualified weapon service tech at your local airsoft store or shop.
Which Airsoft Handgun is Best for Me to Play with?
If you have more than one-hundred dollars to use to buy your airsoft pistol, take a look at a green gas blowback pistol or AEG pistol. If you have between fifty to one-hundred dollars to spend, look at a good quality CO2 handgun or cheaper GBB pistol. If you are on a budget, you can still look for a resilient airsoft pistol to use for the handgun games by checking out lower end pistols and by trading with players on the used gun market.
