Info About Airsoft Handgun Varieties
Learn about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Numerous airsoft handguns are completely approved and licensed editions of their actual handgun counterparts and function and appear in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than real bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols such as CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric sidearms. Each of these varieties of pistols has negatives and positives related to them. Learning about the varieties of airsoft handguns helps you make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most standard and tough types of handguns. These pistols use sealed CO2 gas cylinders to push airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel.
These types of airsoft guns are very good for airsoft games in cold weather conditions because the pressurized CO2 gas is less susceptible to variation caused by temperature. This fact provides excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for instance where other sorts of airsoft guns like green gas cease to work or hardly shoot BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by common 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a metallic cylinder and hold high pressured CO2 gas comprised of 1 carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms, as a result the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are connected in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cartridge cylinders under extremely high pressure of about ~ 800psi that converts to 55bar.
The CO2 cylinders cannot be used multiple times and you can typically buy them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely and securely inside, but the moment they are punctured (shooting them inside of an airsoft gun breaks the cartridge seal) the cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are not expended. You should attempt to expend the entire CO2 cartridge the same day you open the seal. Use the chance to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas if the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level guide on the cartridge so you need to shoot up until the pistol stops shooting BBs.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while if they are stored sealed. They come with the supplier’s expiration date usually noted on the box or cartridge, but they may survive for a prolonged period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not tampered with.
Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft pistols are similar to CO2 handguns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. As an alternative, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to fire the airsoft pellets. The impact on game play and green gas pistol performance is just about the same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to about 300+ feet per second (FPS). Shots are quickly fired in semi-automatic or fully-automatic firing modes and accurate at shorter to mid-range ranges.
The propane gas is kept in the pistol’s airsoft mag which can often hold in-between 15 to 20+ BBs based on the pistol model. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and seals keep the gas stored in the magazine till the handgun’s trigger is squeezed.
When running a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or backup gun, extra pistol mags are encouraged for rapidly reloading and engaging opponents. Having additional mags allows you to reengage in the action in the middle of firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields considering long guns and full-sized AEGs are normally not enabled to be used for indoor shooting. This is a safety standard because of the close range proximity of airsoft players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas handguns still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel assists to keep the joules and energy pushing the BB lower compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different styles of green gas airsoft handguns. To start with there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These handguns operate like an authentic pistol with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. Every time a new airsoft BB is chambered, the gas causes the slide to cycle. The result is very cool, but the pistols often cost more and likely have more which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback weapons typically cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same between the two styles of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane gas is kept in the pistol magazine by using rubber seals, o-rings, and silicone gaskets, the cold can negatively impact these o-rings and allow the gas to escape prior to shooting the gun. The lack of pressure can make the airsoft BBs to simply shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when it would usually shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather).
One fix to this problem is to make the GBB handgun mags warmer by placing them next to your body or by a heater just before the airsoft game play starts. If you absolutely desire to play with a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold, it might also be worth getting a CO2 version of your favorite pistol.
Info on Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft guns are powered by powerful springs with irregular pitches that propel the BBs out of the gun’s barrel. The manual actions of shooting, cocking, and reloading spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB guns.
Spring sidearms and guns work the best in springer wars where participants can solely use comparable, single shot spring pistols or as a transitional backup weapon for CQB settings when you can frequently sneak up to other airsoft players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a rapid 2nd followup shot isn’t really needed given that the other opponent is now hit by the airsoft BB and out of the game play or going back to respawn. When engaging numerous attackers considering that the springer simply fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be cautious.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring pistols are incredibly useful under the right game conditions. Spring handguns can often shoot accurately up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12g BBs however the ability to engage targets reduces quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistol Details
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to carry as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s butt. They function similar to an AEG gun and use pressurized air with electrically cycled pistons, cylinders, and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol magazines generally can carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually risen substantially over the last few years. The first generations were a bit questionable and unreliable, however the latest versions have the problems resolved and make efficient airsoft backup guns. They can be upgraded with maximized magazine capacities and by accommodating more powerful batteries.
A huge perk of buying an AEG handgun is that you have the opportunity to rewire the battery wires to use an increased capacity battery. Based on the AEG handgun version, you can gain a substantial boost in efficiency utilizing a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as opposed to the standard battery. Take care of modifying the components and the gun’s wires because you need to think about the volts, mAh, and loads of the battery. If you have modding concerns, ask an experienced airsoft gun service technician at your local airsoft shop.
What Airsoft Handgun is Right for Me to Buy?
If you have over $100 to use to buy your airsoft pistol, take a look at a GBB handgun or automatic electric pistol. If you have around fifty to one-hundred dollars to buy a gun, look at a good quality CO2 pistol or less expensive GBB handgun. If you are on a budget, you can still look for a durable airsoft handgun to use for the pistol games.
