Information About Airsoft Pistol Kinds
Find information about airsoft handguns and sidearms and how you can use them as extra weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Many airsoft handguns are fully approved and licensed editions of their genuine pistol equivalents and run and look in the same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of genuine bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns such as CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these varieties of pistols have negatives and positives connected with them. Finding out about the kinds of airsoft pistols allows you to figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
About CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft sidearms are among the most heavy duty and common kinds of pistols. They are all-season pistols and function well in many kinds of temperatures, weather and climates. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to send airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within a cylinder and is normally held in the pistol’s magazine in the handle.
These styles of airsoft guns are exceptional for playing airsoft in cold weather considering that the pressurized CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less prone to variation by temperature. This offers excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for instance where other kinds of handguns like green gas stop functioning or hardly fire airsoft BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look similar to a shiny steel cylinder and store high pressured CO2 gas composed of a single carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms, thus the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are bonded in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is stored in the 12 gram cartridges under really high pressure of near ~ 800psi that correlates to 55bar.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, however as soon as they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft pistol breaks the cartridge 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 remaining gas.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime if the cylinders are stored sealed. They have the manufacturer’s expiry date normally noted on the box or cylinder, however, they will survive for a long period past this date if the cartridge seal is not tampered with.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Handgun Information
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 pistols, however they use propane gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The operational impact on the battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is practically the very same as CO2 pistols with the weapons at around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is stored in the pistol’s airsoft magazine which can commonly hold between 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the handgun model. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone seals keep the gas pressurized in the magazine before the pistol’s trigger is pulled.
When bringing a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field or arena as a secondary or primary weapon, extra handgun mags are strongly recommended for rapidly reloading and engaging the op force. Having additional magazines helps you re engage in the action in the middle of firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas handguns are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields because long guns and full-sized AEGs are generally not permitted to be used for indoor gameplay. This is an essential safety guideline due to the close quarters proximity of gamers during shooting engagements. While green gas handguns still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy sending the BB at a decreased level compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different varieties of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Because the green gas or propane is kept in the handgun magazine by rubber seals, o-rings, and silicone gaskets, the cold can impact these seals and cause the gas to escape before shooting the gun. This lack of pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to merely land a couple of feet away (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the handgun would normally shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather).
One solution to this challenge is to keep the GBB pistol magazines warmer by putting them near your body before game play. This can help to warm up the rubber seals and better seal in the green gas. It might also be worth checking out a CO2 variation of your preferred pistol if you really want to play airsoft with a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and perform much better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by powerful springs with irregular pitches that propel the BBs out of the gun’s barrel. The manual action of firing, reloading, and cocking spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns.
Spring airsoft guns perform most effectively in springer wars where participants can exclusively use related, single shot spring pistols or as a close quarters combat backup weapon for CQB buildings when you can often sneak up to other airsoft participants to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a quick second follow-up shot will not be required because the other player is already hit and out of the gameplay or running back to respawn. Take care when attacking multiple players considering that the springer just fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring handguns are really efficient under the right situations. Spring pistols can often shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs however precision decreases rapidly.
Details About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to bring into the field as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are often powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s butt. They operate just like an AEG gun and use pressurized air with electrically cycled pistons, gearboxes, and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG handgun magazines normally can hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs as high as around 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electrically powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which depends if you have enough spare mags to reload the gun and the battery maintains its charge that long. These AEP pistols can effectively shoot airsoft BBs at about 150 foot ranges.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has actually grown significantly recently. The initial gens were a bit questionable and undependable, however the latest models have most of the bugs worked out and make efficient airsoft backup guns. They can be upgraded with maximized magazine capacities as well as accommodating bigger batteries.
A significant advantage of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the battery connectors to use an increased capacity battery. Depending upon the AEG handgun version, you are able to gain a substantial leap in efficiency by using a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as opposed to the standard AEP battery. Beware of modifying the components and wires because you need to take into consideration the voltages, mAh, and electrical loads of the battery. If you have customization questions, ask a qualified professional airsoft gun tech at your local airsoft shop or store.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me?
If you have over one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft pistol, take a look at a green gas blowback handgun or AEG pistol. If you have in-between fifty to one-hundred dollars to buy a gun, evaluate a CO2 pistol or less expensive GBB pistol. If your gun budget is lower, you can still get a hold of a resilient airsoft pistol to use for the handgun games.
