Information on the Varieties of Airsoft Handguns
Learn more about airsoft sidearms and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the right pistol and practicing with it can be a game changer in aiming your shots. Pistols, naturally, are lower range airsoft weapons. They are most often made after real world guns or imitations of legitimate pistols. Lots of airsoft handguns are fully certified adaptations of their real world firearm equivalents. These airsoft guns can function (except for shooting bullets) in the same ways and visually look identically to the real guns they are modeled around while shooting airsoft BBs instead of real bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft sidearms such as CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun pistols. Each of these styles of pistols come with benefits and differences connected with them. Learning about the types of airsoft handguns allows you to figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most tough and popular types of sidearms. These pistols use pressurized CO2 gas to propel airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel.
These kinds of airsoft guns are great choices for playing airsoft in colder weather due to the fact that the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less prone to performance decreases caused by low temperature. This provides great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the wintertime for example where other sorts of airsoft pistols like green gas stop performing or barely fire pellets.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by typical 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges resemble a shiny steel cylinder and store high pressure CO2 gas consisting of just one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms, therefore the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are bound in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is stored in the 12 gram cylinders under extremely high pressure of about ~ 800psi that correlates to 55bar.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, but once they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft weapon 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 opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They have the maker’s expiration date usually listed on the box or cylinder, but they will probably maintain pressure for a prolonged period past this date if the cartridge seal is not tampered with.
Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 handguns, but they use green gas or propane instead of CO2 cartridges. The operational impact on the battleground and green gas weapon performance is virtually the very same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to 300+ FPS.
The green gas is kept in the handgun’s magazine which can frequently hold roughly 15 to 20+ 6mm BBs depending upon the gun design. A set of valves, silicone stoppers, and seals keep the gas housed in the pistol mag up to when the handgun’s trigger is pulled. It is a great choice to top off and refill the propane reserves in your magazine each time you load it into the pistol. Pistol-wielding players can additionally bring excess bottles of propane in the field for refilling in-between lulls in the war or between game play.
When carrying a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or backup weapon, bringing extra handgun magazines is suggested for quickly reloading and engaging opponents. Having additional magazines allows you to join in the action in the middle of firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas pistols are great for CQB at airsoft fields considering long guns and full-sized AEGs are typically not permitted to be used during indoor gameplay. This is an essential safety rule because of the close range proximity of airsoft players during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas handguns still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel helps to keep the joules and energy moving the BB at a lower level compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various forms of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These handguns operate like a genuine handgun with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. Every time a brand-new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber, the gas induces the slide to cycle. This cycling is very cool, however the weapons typically are more expensive and likely have more parts to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback guns typically cost less than GBBs. Performance is around the same between the two types of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
While green gas usually performs very well, it does have restrictions. This includes when green gas guns are used during the winter season in the snow or in colder weather (like lower 32 degrees F). Given that the green gas or propane is kept in the magazine using silicone seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold temperatures can impact these seals and cause the stored gas to escape prior to firing the handgun. This can make the airsoft BBs to merely shoot several feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the gun would usually shoot BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer weather).
One solution to this issue is to make the GBB handgun mags warmer by putting them next to your body or by a heater prior to the airsoft game play. If you absolutely want to play with a reputable airsoft handgun in the cold, it may additionally be worth getting a CO2 version of your favorite handgun.
Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by powerful coil springs that fire the BBs down the handgun barrel. They are normally able to only shoot one BB. The manual functions of cocking, shooting, and reloading spring handguns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns. This makes spring airsoft pistols enjoyable to use, but they are usually less efficient when facing attackers on the airsoft field with advanced weaponry, automatic airsoft AEG rifles, sniper rifles, and CO2 or GBB airsoft pistols.
Spring pistols perform most effectively in springer wars where game players can just use similar, single shot spring guns or as an alternative backup weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can usually sneak up to other airsoft opponents to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a quick second followup shot isn’t really needed given that the other person is now struck and out of the game play or headed back to respawn. When engaging numerous airsoft players considering that the spring airsoft gun only fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be careful.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring guns are extremely useful under the most ideal conditions. Spring guns can often shoot accurately up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs however the ability to engage targets reduces quickly.
About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also an option to carry as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s handle. They operate much like an AEG SMG and use pressured air with electrically cycled cylinders and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG pistol mags normally can hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can launch airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has actually risen significantly over the last few years. The first generation AEP guns were a bit undependable and questionable, however the latest versions have most of the problems worked out and make reliable airsoft secondary weapons. They can be modified with enhanced magazine capacities and also accommodating larger batteries.
A big benefit of using an AEG handgun is that you have the power to rewire the battery connectors to use a larger battery. Depending on the AEG handgun model, you can gain a sizable output in performance by adopting a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock battery.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me?
Selecting the right airsoft sidearm for you depends upon your budget, how often you want to play airsoft with it, and where you hope to play. Check out a green gas blowback handgun or AEP pistol if you have $100 or more to spend on your airsoft pistol. These kinds of handguns are typically the top-tier guns, have the best build qualities, and are usually a pretty good gun to invest in. If you have in-between fifty to one-hundred dollars to use for your gun, have a look at a CO2 pistol or a cheaper green gas blowback pistol. Mid-tier guns like these will still function well and will be durable sidearms. Look for a cheaper CO2 or spring pistol if you have less than fifty dollars. You can still get a durable airsoft handgun to use for the pistol airsoft guns.
