Airsoft Handgun Style Info
Learn about airsoft handguns and sidearms and how you can use them as backup guns or as core weapons on the airsoft playing field. A large number of airsoft handguns are fully certified models of their real gun counterparts and operate and look in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of real bullets.
There are a number of types of airsoft handguns including CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these forms of pistols come with benefits and differences connected with them. Finding out about the styles of airsoft pistols allows you to make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most popular and heavy duty types of pistols. They are all weather handguns and operate well in a lot of kinds of weather, extreme temperatures, and climates. These sidearms use high pressure CO2 gas to force airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas and is typically housed in the gun’s handle.
These styles of airsoft guns are good choices for playing in cold weather considering that the pressurized CO2 gas is less susceptible to performance variations by low temperature. This offers very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for instance where other kinds of sidearms like green gas cease to work or hardly fire pellets.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft guns are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a metal cylinder and contain high-pressure CO2 gas composed of a single carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, and so 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 cartridges under really high pressure of near ~ 800psi that converts to 55bar.
The CO2 gas cylinders are not multiple-use and you can commonly purchase them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, but as soon as they are punctured (shooting them in an airsoft pistol breaks the seal) cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. You need to try to burn up the whole CO2 cartridge the very same day you open the seal. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas leftover, use the chance to do some handgun target practice and burn up the remainder of the excess gas. There is no gas level guide 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 kept sealed. They do have a maker’s use by date usually listed on the box or cartridge, however, they will probably survive for a long period past this date if the cartridge seal is not punctured.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 handguns, but they use green gas or propane instead of CO2 cartridges. The effect on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is practically the exact same as CO2 handguns with the guns at about 300+ FPS.
The green gas is held in the pistol’s magazine that can commonly hold around 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the handgun design. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas pressurized in the magazine till the pistol’s trigger is pulled.
When running a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or secondary gun, additional magazines are advised for rapidly reloading and engaging the op force. Having extra mags on-hand allows you to re-engage in the action throughout firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields given that long guns and full-sized AEGs are generally not enabled to be used during indoor engagements. This is an essential safety rule because of the close range distance of players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas handguns still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy launching the BB lower compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various 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 have a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane gas is stored in the pistol magazine by using rubber seals and gaskets, the cold can negatively impact these gaskets and allow the stored gas to escape before shooting. The decrease in pressure can make the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a couple of feet away (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when the pistol would normally shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather).
One fix for this challenge is to keep the GBB pistol magazines warmer by putting them next to a heat source or by your body prior to airsoft game play. This can help to heat up the seals and help to seal in the green gas. If you definitely want to use a dependable airsoft pistol in the cold, it can also be worth buying a CO2 version of your preferred handgun. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and the gun shoots far better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
About Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong coil springs that send the BBs out of the gun barrel. The manual actions of reloading, cocking, and shooting spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB guns.
Spring handguns work best in springer battles where airsoft players can just use related, single shot spring weapons or as an alternative weapon for CQB environments when you can usually quietly sneak up on other airsoft opponents to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a quick 2nd follow-up shot is not required since the other person is now hit and out of the game play or headed back to respawn. When engaging a number of enemies given that the weapon just fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be careful.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring guns are remarkably efficient under the proper scenarios. Spring guns can generally fire up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12 gram BBs but target accuracy reduces rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to use as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are often powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s handle. They function much like an AEG rifle and use compressed air pumped through electrically cycled cylinders and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG handgun mags typically can carry about 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 actually risen considerably recently. The initial gen AEP guns were a little bit questionable and undependable, but the more recent designs have most of the issues worked out and make efficient airsoft secondary guns. They can be improved with maximized mag capacities together with accommodating more powerful batteries.
A large advantage of using an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the connections to use a larger capacity battery. Depending on the AEG handgun style, you can gain a sizable increase in efficiency by taking advantage of a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as an alternative for the stock battery.
Which Airsoft Handgun is Right for Me to Buy?
Picking out the right airsoft handgun for you depends upon your gun budget, how much you desire to play airsoft using it, and where you hope to play. Take a look at a green gas blowback pistol or AEP pistol if you have over one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft pistol. These kinds of handguns are usually the top-tier guns, have good performance, and could be a really good gun to get. If you have around $50 to $100 to devote to your airsoft gun purchase, look into a CO2 pistol or a 2nd-tier green gas blowback pistol. These guns will still be fun to play with and are pretty resilient sidearms. Look for a cheap CO2 or spring pistol if you have less than fifty dollars. You can still find a durable airsoft pistol to use for the pistol games.
