Information on Airsoft Handgun Styles
Learn more about airsoft handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the ideal handgun and practicing with it can be a game changer in blasting your shots. Sidearms, naturally, are shorter range airsoft weapons. They are normally crafted after firearm guns or models of real handguns. Numerous airsoft handguns are fully licensed models of their real handgun counterparts. These airsoft guns can visually look and handle in the same ways almost identically to the real guns they are designed around while shooting airsoft BBs in place of genuine bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft sidearms such as CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these varieties of pistols has negatives and positives related to them. Finding out about the varieties of airsoft handguns helps you make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most common and dependable varieties of pistols. They are all weather pistols working well in a lot of types of weather, temperatures, and climates. These sidearms use high pressure CO2 gas to send airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel. The CO2 cartridge is typically stored in the pistol’s mag inside the handle.
These forms of airsoft weapons are great choices for airsoft games in cold weather given that the compressed CO2 gas is less prone to performance variations caused by temperature levels. This fact provides great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for instance where other types of airsoft handguns like green gas stop functioning or hardly shoot airsoft BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by common 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges resemble a metal cylinder and contain high-pressure CO2 gas composed of one carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms, hence the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are connected in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is stored in the 12 gram cartridge cylinders under very high pressure of near ~ 800psi that converts to 55bar.
The CO2 cartridge cylinders are not multiple-use and you can typically order them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, but once they are punctured (firing them inside of an airsoft weapon breaks the seal) the cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are not used up. You ought to try to run through the entire CO2 cartridge the same day you open the seal. Use the chance to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the excess gas if the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level indication on the cartridge so you have to shoot up until the pistol stops cycling.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if they are stored sealed. They do have a manufacturer’s expiration date usually noted on the box or cartridge cylinder, however they will last for a long period past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Information About Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft pistols are comparable to CO2 handguns, but they use green gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The impact on the battlefield and green gas weapon performance is virtually the exact same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to 300+ FPS.
The green gas is held in the handgun’s grip within the magazine which can commonly hold roughly 15 to 20+ 6mm BBs depending on the gun style. A sequence of valves, rubber stoppers, and seals keep the green gas stored in the pistol magazine until the handgun’s trigger is squeezed. It is a great plan to fill up and top off your propane reserves in your pistol mag each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding gamers can additionally take extra bottles of green gas or propane in the field for reloading magazines between breaks in the war or in-between missions.
When carrying a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a backup or primary weapon, bringing extra pistol mags is recommended for rapidly reloading and engaging the op force. Having additional mags on-hand helps you join in the action during 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 and full-sized AEGs are typically not allowed to be used during indoor game play. This is an essential safety standard due to the close range distance of airsoft players during the shooting engagements. While green gas handguns can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy propelling the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different kinds of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These handguns work like a realistic pistol with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. Every time a new airsoft BB is chambered, the gas induces the slide to cycle. This effect is extremely cool, however the weapons often are more expensive and likely have more to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns have a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback pistols typically cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same when comparing the two kinds of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Since the green gas or propane is kept in the pistol magazine by using rubber seals and gaskets, cold weather can impact these o-rings and allow the stored gas to escape prior to shooting the gun. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to simply land a number of feet away (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the gun would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather).
One solution to this issue is to make the GBB pistol mags warmer by positioning them next to a heat source or by your body prior to game play. This can help to heat up the seals and valves and better seal in the green gas. If you honestly prefer to play with a reputable airsoft pistol in the cold, it might also be worth buying a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and the gun will shoot better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that propel the airsoft BBs down the gun barrel. They are typically able to only shoot one BB at a time. The manual actions of firing, cocking, and reloading spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols. When engaging players on the airsoft field with enhanced guns like auto airsoft AEG SMGs, assault rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols, this can make spring airsoft guns fun to use, however less effective.
Spring handguns work the best in springer wars where participants can exclusively use related, single shot spring pistols or as a transitional backup weapon for CQB environments when you can usually sneak up to other airsoft opponents to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a rapid 2nd follow-up shot is not needed given that the other player is already struck and out of the gameplay or running back to respawn. Be careful when fighting many different players because the springer only fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring guns are remarkably useful under the most ideal situations. Their FPS normally chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12g airsoft BBs. These handguns usually fire lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the coiled springs are less effective than other kinds of airsoft guns like SMGs. Spring guns can normally engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but accuracy decreases quickly. Choosing conventional 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a shooting distance of about 60 to 80 feet or less with improved target accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also an option to bring as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are often powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s butt. They operate just like an AEG gun and use forced air with electrically cycled pistons and gearboxes to shoot airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG handgun magazines generally hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has actually increased substantially in the last few years. The early generation guns were a little bit unreliable and questionable, however the more recent models have the issues resolved and make reliable airsoft backup guns. They can be upgraded with enhanced magazine capacities along with accommodating more powerful batteries.
A large benefit of using an AEG pistol is that you have the capability to rewire the battery connections to use a more substantial battery. Depending on the AEG pistol model, you can get a substantial output in functionality by using a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) instead of the stock mini battery.
What Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me to Buy?
Selecting the most ideal airsoft handgun for you depends on your budget, how often you want to play airsoft with it, and where you decide to play. If you have $100 or more to spend on your airsoft pistol, consider a green gas handgun or AEG handgun. These kinds of guns are normally the best of the best, have the very best performance, and can be a good pistol to purchase. If you have about more than fifty but less than one-hundred dollars to spend on upgrading your airsoft arsenal, look into a CO2 handgun or a more affordable GBB pistol. These guns will still work well and are pretty sturdy sidearms. Look for a cheap CO2 or spring handgun if you have $50 or less. You can still get a heavy-duty airsoft handgun to use for the handgun airsoft guns.
