Airsoft Pistol Style Additional Info
Find information about airsoft handguns and sidearms and how you can use them as extra weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. A lot of airsoft handguns are completely manufacturer licensed releases of their real pistol equivalents and look and function in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than authentic bullets.
There are a few types of airsoft sidearms including CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these kinds of sidearms come with benefits and differences related to them. Learning about the varieties of airsoft sidearms helps you figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Sidearm Details
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most heavy duty and typical types of handguns. They are all-season guns and function well in many types of temperatures, weather and environments. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to send airsoft BBs down the weapon barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within a cylinder and is typically kept in the pistol’s magazine inside the handle.
These types of airsoft handguns are very good for playing in cold weather considering that the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less vulnerable to variation with temperature levels. This fact provides exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for instance where other styles of handguns like green gas stop functioning or barely shoot BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges resemble a metal cylinder and contain high pressure CO2 gas comprised of just one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, however the moment they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft pistol breaks the 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 opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if the cylinders are stored sealed. They come with the manufacturer’s expiration date usually listed on the package or cartridge cylinder, but they will last for a prolonged time past this date if the cartridge seal is not tampered with.
Green Gas Airsoft Pistol Info
Green gas airsoft pistols are comparable to CO2 pistols, however they use green gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The effect on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is almost the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to 300+ FPS.
The green gas is held in the pistol’s grip within the mag and can commonly hold roughly 15 to 20+ 6mm airsoft BBs depending upon the gun model. A sequence of valves, rubberized gaskets, and seals keep the propane pressurized in the pistol magazine until the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a great choice to top off and refill your green gas supply in the mag each time you load it into the gun. Pistol-wielding airsoft players can even carry supplemental bottles of green gas in the field for refilling in-between lulls in the battle or between missions.
When carrying a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or backup gun, additional magazines are recommended for quickly reloading. Having extra mags allows you to get back in the action in the course of firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are generally not permitted to be used for indoor gameplay. This is an essential safety rule because of the close quarters distance of players during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas handguns can still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy launching the BB at a decreased level compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various types of green gas airsoft handguns. To start with there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These handguns operate like an authentic handgun with the slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. The propane gas induces the slide to cycle each time a brand-new airsoft BB is chambered. The result is very cool, however the guns usually are more expensive and likely have more to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns have a stationary slide which does not move. The non-blowback guns commonly cost less than GBBs. Performance is about the same between the two varieties of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Because the green gas or propane gas is housed in the magazine by using rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, the cold can impact these gaskets and cause the gas to leak out before shooting the handgun. The decrease in pressure can make the airsoft BBs to simply shoot a couple of feet away (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the gun would usually shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temperatures).
One fix for this issue is to keep the GBB pistol magazines warmer by holding them next to a heat source or by your body prior to game play. This can help to warm up the rubber gaskets and help to seal in the green gas. If you honestly prefer to play with a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold, it can also be worth checking out a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and perform much better in sub-freezing temperatures and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Sidearm Information
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by powerful coil springs that shoot the BBs out of the pistol barrel. The manual functioning of cocking, shooting, and reloading spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns.
Spring sidearms perform the best in springer wars where game players can only use similar, single shot spring pistols or as a transitional backup gun for CQB buildings when you can often surprise other airsoft game players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a rapid 2nd follow-up shot will not be called for given that the other person is already struck and out of the gameplay or moving back to respawn. Look out when fighting a number of airsoft players given that the gun only fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Handgun Efficiency
Spring guns are extremely effective under the most ideal conditions during airsoft games. Their FPS normally chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These guns usually fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs since the pitched springs are less powerful than other styles of airsoft guns like rifles. Spring handguns can normally be accurate at up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however precision is reduced quickly. Choosing normal 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a range of about 60 to 80 feet with increased accuracy.
Info on AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to use as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s grip. They work similar to an AEG SMG and use forced air forced through electrically cycled pistons, gearboxes, and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG pistol mags normally carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually grown considerably in recent years. The initial gen AEP guns were a little bit undependable and questionable, however the new designs have the bugs resolved and make reliable airsoft backup guns. They can be improved with enhanced magazine capacities along with accommodating bigger batteries.
A substantial benefit of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the power to rewire the connectors to use a larger capacity battery. Depending on the AEG pistol type, you can get a substantial jump in efficiency by using a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) instead of the stock AEP battery.
Which Airsoft Handgun is Right for Me to Play with?
If you have over $100 to use to buy your airsoft pistol, check out a GBB handgun or automatic electric pistol. If you have between fifty to one-hundred dollars to spend, evaluate a CO2 pistol or cheaper GBB pistol. If you have fifty dollars or less, you can still look for a durable airsoft handgun to use for the handgun games.
