Airsoft Pistol Design Additional Info
Learn about airsoft sidearms 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 ideal sidearm can make all the difference in nailing your shots. Handguns, naturally, are much shorter range airsoft weapons. They are typically fashioned after real-world handguns or copies of genuine handguns. Quite a few airsoft handguns are completely licensed reproductions of their real-world weapon counterparts. These airsoft guns can handle in the same ways and visually look similarly to the real guns they are modeled after while firing airsoft BBs instead of real world bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft sidearms consisting of CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these kinds of handguns have negatives and positives related to them. Learning more about the varieties of airsoft sidearms helps you decide which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most long-lasting and common varieties of pistols. They are all weather guns and work well in lots of types of weather, varying temperatures, and climates. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to push airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas and is typically housed in the gun’s handle.
These types of airsoft guns are great for playing airsoft in cold weather conditions given that the high pressure CO2 gas is less susceptible to performance decreases with low temperatures. This gives CO2 airsoft handguns excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter season for instance where other types of pistols like green gas cease to function or barely fire BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a chrome cylinder and hold high-pressure CO2 gas consisting of a single carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, but when they are opened (firing them in an airsoft handgun breaks the cartridge 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 chance to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They do have the maker’s expiration date typically listed on the box or cartridge cylinder, but they will probably stay pressurized for a long period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Pistol Info
Green gas airsoft sidearms resemble CO2 pistols, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Instead, they use green gas or propane for propellant to fire 6mm airsoft pellets. The result on airsoft games and green gas weapon operation is virtually the same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to about 300+ feet per second (FPS). Shots are efficiently fired in automatic or semi-automatic firing modes and can hit targets at short to mid-range ranges.
The green gas is held in the pistol’s airsoft mag which can commonly hold in-between 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the handgun design. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone seals keep the gas pressurized in the mag till the pistol’s trigger is squeezed.
When playing with a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a primary or backup gun, bringing additional handgun mags is recommended for quickly reloading and getting back into the game. Having additional magazines on-hand helps you get back in the action throughout firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas handguns are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields considering rifles and full-sized AEGs are typically not permitted to be used during indoor gameplay. This is a safety guideline because of the close quarters distance of players during the shooting engagements. While green gas pistols still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy pushing the BB lower compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various types of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback pistols. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
Since the green gas or propane gas is held in the mag by rubber o-rings, seals, and silicone gaskets, cold temperatures can negatively influence these gaskets and allow the gas to leak out prior to shooting the handgun. This can cause the airsoft BBs to simply land a number of feet away (like 10 feet in the cold ) when it would typically shoot BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temps).
One strategy to this problem is to keep the GBB pistol magazines warmer by putting them next to your body or near a heat source before the airsoft game play. If you truly want to play with a reputable airsoft pistol in the cold, it may additionally be worth getting a CO2 variation of your favorite pistol.
Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by powerful springs that propel the BBs out of the pistol’s barrel. The manual actions of shooting, cocking, and reloading spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB airsoft guns.
Spring sidearms and guns perform the best in springer wars where players can just use similar, single shot spring handguns or as a close quarters backup gun for CQB environments when you can frequently quietly sneak up on other airsoft participants to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a fast 2nd followup shot isn’t really needed considering that the other player is already hit by the airsoft BB and out of the game play or moving back to respawn. When engaging numerous enemies considering that the springer just fires as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be careful.
About Spring Handgun Effectiveness
Spring pistols are remarkably effective under the right scenarios. Their FPS often chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12g airsoft BBs. These weapons normally fire lighter weight airsoft BBs because the pitched springs are less effective than other styles of airsoft guns like SMGs. Spring pistols can typically be accurate at up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however the ability to hit targets accurately diminishes quickly. Choosing normal 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a range of around 60 to 80 feet with heightened accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handgun Info
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely an option to bring into the field as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s grip. They work similar to an AEG gun and use compressed air pumped through electrically cycled pistons and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG pistol mags typically can carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can launch airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has actually increased significantly over the last few years. The earliest generation guns were a little bit undependable and sketchy, but the newer versions have the bugs worked out and make reliable airsoft backup weapons. They can be modified with increased mag capacities and also accommodating bigger batteries.
A massive advantage of using an AEG handgun is that you have the power to rewire the battery connections to use a bigger battery. Depending on the AEG pistol model, you can gain a big output in efficiency by taking advantage of a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as an alternative for the stock AEP battery.
What Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me to Buy?
Finding the right airsoft pistol for you depends on your budget, how much you intend to play airsoft with it, and where you hope to play. Check out a GBB handgun or AEP handgun if you have more than one-hundred dollars to invest on your airsoft handgun. These kinds of handguns are usually the top-tier guns, have good performance, and can be a great airsoft gun to invest in. If you can afford about more than fifty but less than one-hundred dollars to devote to your airsoft gun purchase, look into a CO2 pistol or a 2nd-tier green gas blowback pistol. These guns will still function well and can be pretty long lasting sidearms. Look for a lower end CO2 or spring handgun if you have less than $50. You can still buy a long-lasting airsoft handgun to use for the handgun airsoft guns.
