Airsoft Pistol Variety Additional Information
Find information about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as secondary guns or as core weapons on the airsoft playing field. A large number of airsoft handguns are fully approved and licensed replications of their genuine handgun equivalents and function and look in the same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of authentic bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols consisting of CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these forms of sidearms come with negatives and positives related to them. Learning about the kinds of airsoft pistols helps you decide which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most durable and common types of sidearms. These handguns use CO2 stored in small cylinders to launch airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel.
These kinds of airsoft handguns are good for playing in cold weather since the compressed CO2 gas is less sensitive to FPS decreases caused by temperature levels. This fact gives CO2 airsoft sidearms great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for instance where other sorts of airsoft guns like green gas stuffer from low performance or barely fire airsoft BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look similar to a metal cylinder and hold high pressured CO2 gas comprised of a single carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms, hence the molecular formula comes out to be “C + O2 “. These atoms are bound in the following order “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cartridges under very high pressure of around ~ 800psi which correlates to 55bar.
The CO2 gas cylinders are not multiple-use and you can commonly buy them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to preserve the CO2 gas safely within, once they are punctured (shooting them inside of an airsoft handgun breaks the cartridge seal) the cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are not expended. You should try to burn up the entire CO2 cartridge the exact same day you open the seal. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas leftover, use the opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the remaining surplus gas. There is no gas level sign on the cartridge so you have to shoot up until the pistol stops firing airsoft BBs.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while if the cylinders are stored sealed. They come with a supplier’s best used by date usually noted on the box or cylinder, however they may maintain pressure for a long time past this date if the cartridge seals are not tampered with.
Green Gas Airsoft Pistol Info
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 pistols, but they use green gas or propane instead of CO2 cartridges. The impact on the battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is practically the very same as CO2 handguns with the guns at around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is kept in the handgun’s grip within the magazine which can often hold roughly 15 to 20+ 6mm BBs depending on the handgun model. A series of valves, silicone gaskets, and seals keep the propane pressurized in the mag till the handgun’s trigger is squeezed. It is a great choice to top off and fill up the green gas reserves in the mag each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding airsoft players can also carry supplemental bottles of green gas in the field for refilling mags between breaks in the battle or in-between game play.
When playing with a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a secondary or main weapon, extra mags are suggested for rapidly reloading and getting back into the game. Having extra magazines 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 pistols are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields because long guns and full-sized AEGs are generally not approved to be used for indoor gameplay. This is a safety guideline because of the close range proximity of airsoft players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas handguns can still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy moving the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different kinds of green gas airsoft handguns. To start with there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These pistols work like a genuine handgun with the gun’s slide “blowing back” with every shot. Each time a brand-new airsoft BB is chambered, the gas triggers the slide to cycle. The result is extremely cool, but the weapons typically cost more and potentially have more parts that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a stationary slide which does not move. The non-blowback guns commonly cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same when comparing the two kinds of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Because the green gas or propane gas is held in the pistol magazine using rubber seals and gaskets, cold weather can influence these seals and cause the stored gas to leak out prior to shooting the pistol. This can cause the airsoft BBs to only shoot a number of feet away (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when the pistol would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather).
One option to fix this challenge is to try to keep the GBB pistol magazines warmer by putting them close to your body just before the game play. This can help to warm the rubber gaskets and better seal in the green gas. If you honestly want to have fun with a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold, it might also be worth buying a CO2 variation of your preferred pistol. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and the gun shoots better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Facts About Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft guns are powered by powerful springs that launch the airsoft BBs down the handgun barrel. They are generally one shot only. The manual functioning of shooting, cocking, and reloading spring airsoft guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols. This makes spring airsoft guns fun to use, but they are usually less successful when fighting attackers on the airsoft field with upgraded airsoft guns like fully auto airsoft AEG SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2 or GBB airsoft handguns.
Spring sidearms and guns perform best in springer wars where game players can only use related, single shot spring handguns or as an alternative weapon for CQB environments when you can usually sneak up to other airsoft game players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a quick second followup shot will not be needed given that the other player is already struck and out of the gameplay or running back to respawn. When engaging many different airsoft players considering that the spring airsoft gun simply shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be careful.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring pistols are remarkably useful under the right situations. Their FPS commonly chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These weapons typically fire lighter weight airsoft BBs since the springs are less effective than other kinds of airsoft guns. Spring pistols can typically be accurate at up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however the ability to hit targets accurately decreases quickly. Choosing normal 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a reduced shooting distance of around 60 to 80 feet with improved target accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handgun Facts
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to carry as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are often powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s handle. They work just like an AEG SMG and use compressed air forced through electrically cycled cylinders, pistons, and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very quickly at that.
AEG handgun magazines normally carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can launch airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually risen considerably over the last few years. The first gen guns were a little bit sketchy and undependable, but the more recent designs have the bugs resolved and make efficient airsoft backup guns. They can be further modded with increased magazine capacities and by accommodating larger batteries.
A substantial advantage of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the power to rewire the connections to use a more substantial battery. Depending on the AEG pistol model, you can get a substantial increase in performance by using a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as an alternative for the stock mini battery.
What Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me?
Picking the most ideal airsoft pistol for you depends upon how much you can afford, how often you want to play airsoft using it, and where you hope to play. If you have over one-hundred dollars to invest in your airsoft pistol, check out a green gas blowback or GBB handgun or AEG pistol. These are typically the top of the line, have great efficiency, and are usually a pretty good investment. If you have around $50 to $100 to use for your gun, look at a CO2 pistol or cheaper green gas blowback handgun. Mid-tier guns like these will still get the job done and are pretty tough sidearms. Look for a cheaper CO2 or spring pistol if you have fifty dollars or less. You can still get a tough airsoft pistol to use for the handgun airsoft guns.
