Airsoft Handgun Style Info
Learn about airsoft pistols and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the best pistol and practicing with it can make all the difference in hitting your shots. Handguns, by nature, are lower range airsoft weapons. They are most often manufactured after real-world pistols or replications of legitimate pistols. A large number of airsoft sidearms are completely certified versions of their real world handgun counterparts. These airsoft guns can handle in the same ways and visually appear almost identically to the real guns they are designed around while shooting airsoft BBs as opposed to real world bullets.
There are a few varieties of airsoft pistols consisting of CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun pistols. Each of these varieties of handguns come with negatives and positives connected with them. Learning more about the varieties of airsoft handguns lets you figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Handgun Details
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most tough and common types of pistols. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to move airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel.
These types of airsoft weapons are great for playing in cold and snowy temperatures since the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less sensitive to FPS decreases by low temperature. This fact provides great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the wintertime for instance where other sorts of pistols like green gas stop operating or barely fire airsoft BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges resemble a shiny cylinder and hold high pressure CO2 gas consisting of 1 carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The CO2 gas cylinders cannot be refilled and you can usually order them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to retain the CO2 gas safely within, once they are opened (firing them inside of an airsoft pistol breaks the cartridge seal) the cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. You ought to try to use up the entire CO2 cartridge the very same day you open the seal. Use the opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas if the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level sign on the cartridge so you have to shoot up until the gun stops firing BBs.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime if the cylinders are kept sealed. They do have the manufacturer’s best used by date usually marked on the box or cylinder, but they may stay pressurized for an extended period past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Green Gas Airsoft Sidearm Facts
Green gas airsoft sidearms resemble CO2 guns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Alternatively, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to fire the airsoft BBs. The result on gameplay and green gas sidearm functionality is practically the same as CO2 handguns with the weapons shooting up to about 300+ feet per second. Shots are rapidly fired in semi-automatic or automatic shooting modes and can accurately hit targets at shorter to mid-range ranges.
The green gas is sealed in the pistol’s grip within the magazine and can commonly hold around 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the pistol style. A set of valves, rubberized gaskets, and o-rings keep the propane sealed in the pistol mag up to the point the handgun’s trigger is pulled. It is a great idea to top off and fill up your green gas in the mag each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding gamers can additionally take supplemental bottles of green gas or propane in the field for refilling mags between breaks in the battle or between activities.
When using a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a primary or backup weapon, additional handgun mags are advised for rapidly reloading and getting back into the game. Having extra mags allows you to get back in the action during firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas pistols are great for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are generally not approved to be used during indoor gameplay. This is a safety rule because of the close range distance of airsoft players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas handguns can still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy moving the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different styles 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 stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
While green gas generally performs extremely well on the airsoft field, it does have drawbacks. When they are used during the winter season in the snow or in colder temperatures (such as under 32 deg F). Because the green gas or propane is held in the weapon’s magazine using silicone seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold weather can negatively impact the seals and allow the gas to escape before shooting airsoft BBs. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to just shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the pistol would usually shoot BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather conditions).
One option to fix this issue is to keep the GBB handgun mags warmer by holding them inside your jacket next to your body prior to game play. This can help to warm up the seals and better seal in the green gas. It might also be worth getting a CO2 variation of your favorite pistol if you truly want to play airsoft with a reputable airsoft handgun in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and perform better in sub-freezing temperatures and while playing in the snow.
Info on Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by powerful springs that propel the BBs down the gun barrel. They are normally single-shot. The manual functioning of cocking, reloading, and firing spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns. This makes spring guns entertaining to use, however they are less effective when running into attackers on the airsoft field with advanced weaponry, automatic airsoft AEG SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols.
Spring sidearms and guns work the best in springer battles where game players can solely use similar, single shot spring weapons or as a transition weapon for CQB settings when you can usually surprise other airsoft game players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a fast second follow-up shot will not be required because the other opponent is already hit by the airsoft BB and out of the game or going back to respawn. When engaging many different rivals because the springer just shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be cautious.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring pistols are incredibly reliable under the appropriate scenarios and airsoft games. Spring guns can commonly shoot accurately up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but target accuracy reduces rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to carry as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s handle. They work similar to an AEG SMG and use forced air forced through electrically cycled pistons and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol magazines usually 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 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has risen considerably in the last few years. The first gen guns were a little bit questionable and undependable, but the new designs have most of the problems worked out and make efficient airsoft backup weapons. They can be improved with increased mag storage capacities along with accommodating larger batteries.
A huge benefit of using an AEG pistol is that you have the capability to rewire the battery connectors to use a larger battery. Depending on the AEG pistol design, you can get a huge jump in performance by taking advantage of a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) rather than the stock mini battery.
Which Airsoft Handgun is Right for Me to Buy?
If you have more than one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft pistol, evaluate a GBB handgun or automatic electric handgun. If you have in-between $50 to $100 to spend, evaluate a CO2 pistol or more affordable GBB handgun. If your gun budget is lower, you can still get a hold of a resilient airsoft pistol to use for the pistol games by checking out lower end pistols and by shopping the used gun market.
