About the Varieties of Airsoft Pistols
Find info about airsoft pistols and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your shot accuracy and getting the best pistol can make an impact in blasting your shots. Sidearms, naturally, are lower range airsoft weapons. They are often designed after genuine guns or copies of real handguns. A large number of airsoft sidearms are fully licensed releases of their authentic weapon equivalents. These airsoft guns can function (short of shooting bullets) in the same ways and look identically to the real guns they are modeled after while shooting airsoft BBs instead of actual bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns such as CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these types of handguns have positives and negatives associated with them. Finding out about the styles of airsoft handguns allows you to decide which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Sidearm Details
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most popular and heavy-duty types of sidearms. These pistols use pressurized CO2 gas to shoot airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel.
These forms of airsoft pistols are very good for playing airsoft in cold weather considering that the compressed CO2 gas is less prone to performance variations with low temperatures. This offers excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for instance where other sorts of airsoft handguns like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly fire airsoft BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft guns are powered by common 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges resemble a metallic cylinder and contain high pressure CO2 gas composed of 1 carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms, consequently 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 cylinders under extremely high pressure of close to ~ 800psi which translates to 55bar.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely inside, but once they are opened (firing them in an airsoft gun breaks the cartridge seal) they will begin 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 excess gas.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if they are stored sealed. They are made with a maker’s expiry date usually printed on the box or cylinder, however, they can stay pressurized for a very long period past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Sidearm Facts
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 handguns, however they use green gas or propane instead of CO2 cartridges. The effect on the battleground and green gas weapon efficiency is almost the same as CO2 handguns with the weapons at about 300+ FPS.
The propane gas is kept in the handgun’s magazine which can typically hold between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending on the handgun type. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and o-rings keep the gas pressurized in the magazine up until the pistol’s trigger is pulled.
When using a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a backup or main gun, extra magazines are strongly recommended for rapidly reloading. Having extra magazines on-hand helps you get back in the action in the course of firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas handguns are excellent for CQB at airsoft fields since long guns and full-sized AEGs are typically not authorized to be used during indoor gameplay. This is a safety regulation because of the close range proximity of airsoft players during the shooting engagements. While green gas pistols still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel assists to keep the joules and energy shooting the BB lower compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various kinds 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 Limitations
Because the green gas or propane is stored in the handgun magazine by rubber seals and silicone gaskets, the cold can affect these seals and allow the gas to escape before shooting the handgun. This lack of pressure can make the airsoft BBs to only land a couple of feet away (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when the green gas handgun would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather).
One option to this problem is to keep the GBB handgun mags warmer by putting them next to your body, beside a heater, or inside your jacket before the airsoft game play starts. If you absolutely want to play with a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold weather, it might additionally be worth getting a CO2 version of your preferred handgun.
Spring Airsoft Handgun Facts
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by powerful springs that fire the airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel. They are normally one shot. The manual action of cocking, reloading, and shooting spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns. This makes spring airsoft pistols interesting to use, however they are less practical when confronting competitors on the airsoft field with fully auto airsoft AEG SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft handguns.
Spring guns perform most effectively in springer wars where opponents can solely use comparable, single shot spring handguns or as a transitional backup weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can frequently quietly sneak up on other airsoft players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a rapid second followup shot isn’t required due to the fact that the other player is already hit by the airsoft BB and out of the game play or running back to respawn. When engaging numerous rivals since the spring gun just shoots as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be careful.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring guns are incredibly effective under the proper game circumstances. Their FPS generally chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These guns typically fire lighter weight airsoft BBs since the pitched springs are less effective than other styles of airsoft guns. Spring guns can normally shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however precision diminishes quickly. Choosing basic 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a decreased shooting distance of about 60 to 80 feet with heightened precision.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handgun Details
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to bring as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s butt. They function similar to an AEG gun and use compressed air with electrically cycled cylinders, pistons, and gearboxes to shoot airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG pistol magazines usually can carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has actually risen significantly recently. The first gens were a bit questionable and unreliable, however the latest models have the deficiencies worked out and make reliable airsoft backup weapons. They can be modded with enhanced magazine storage capacities along with accommodating bigger batteries.
A significant perk of buying an AEG pistol is that you have the opportunity to rewire the wires to use a larger battery with higher mAh. Depending upon the AEG handgun design, you may be able to get a sizable boost in efficiency by utilizing a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) in place of the stock mini battery. Beware of customizing the elements and wires because you should consider the voltages, mAh, and loads of the batteries. Ask an experienced gun technician at your closest airsoft shop or store if you have modding issues.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me?
If you have $100 or more to use to buy your airsoft pistol, check out a GBB pistol or automatic electric pistol. If you have around fifty to one-hundred dollars to upgrade your gun, look at a good quality CO2 pistol or more affordable GBB handgun. If you are on a budget, you can still look for a resilient airsoft pistol to use for the pistol games by checking out lower end pistols and by trading with other players on the used gun market.
