Information About Airsoft Pistol Varieties
Learn about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as extra weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Many airsoft handguns are fully certified models of their genuine pistol equivalents and operate and appear in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of actual bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns consisting of CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these styles of handguns have negatives and positives connected with them. Finding out about the types of airsoft sidearms allows you to make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most sturdy and standard types of pistols. These pistols use pressurized CO2 gas to force airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel.
These styles of airsoft guns are good for playing airsoft in cooler temperatures because the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less vulnerable to FPS decreases by temperature. This fact gives CO2 airsoft pistols excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the wintertime for example where other sorts of handguns like green gas stop working or hardly shoot pellets.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a shiny metallic cylinder and contain high-pressure CO2 gas comprised of just one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely within, however once they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft pistol 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.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime if the cylinders are stored sealed. They have a manufacturer’s best used by date normally printed on the box or cartridge cylinder, however they may stay pressurized for a very long period past this date if the cartridge seal is not broken.
Green Gas Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft pistols resemble CO2 guns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Instead, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to shoot 6mm airsoft pellets. The result on the battlefield and green gas handgun operation is basically the same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to 300+ feet-per-second (FPS). Shots are rapidly fired in fully-automatic or semi-automatic firing modes and precisely hit targets at very short to mid-range distances.
The propane is held in the handgun’s mag that can usually hold in-between 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the handgun type. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and silicone seals keep the gas stored in the magazine before the handgun’s trigger is squeezed.
When bringing a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or backup gun, extra magazines are highly recommended for quickly reloading and getting back into the game. Having extra magazines helps you join in the action during firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas handguns are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are normally not enabled to be used during indoor engagements. This is a safety regulation due to the close quarters distance of airsoft players during shooting engagements. While green gas handguns can still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy shooting the BB at a lower level compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different types of green gas airsoft pistols. First, there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These pistols work like a realistic pistol with the gun’s slide “blowing back” with every shot. Each time a fresh airsoft BB is chambered, the gas induces the slide to cycle. The result is very cool, however the GBB guns usually cost more and likely have more to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns use a fixed slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback handguns usually cost less than GBBs. Performance is about the same when comparing the two styles of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Since the green gas or propane is housed in the handgun magazine using rubber o-rings, seals, and gaskets, the cold can influence these o-rings and cause the stored gas to escape before shooting. The decrease in pressure can make the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when it would normally shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temperatures).
One fix to this issue is to make the GBB handgun magazines warmer by positioning them next to your body, beside a heater, or inside your jacket prior to the airsoft game play starts. If you absolutely need to play with a trustworthy airsoft pistol in the cold weather, it might also be worth getting a CO2 version of your favorite pistol.
Spring Airsoft Sidearm Info
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that fire the BBs out of the handgun barrel. The manual functioning of cocking, reloading, and shooting spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB airsoft guns.
Spring airsoft guns work most effectively in springer battles where game players can just use comparable, single shot spring guns or as a close quarters weapon for CQB settings when you can usually sneak up to other airsoft opponents to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a rapid second followup shot is not called for due to the fact that the other person is now hit and out of the gameplay or moving back to respawn. When engaging many different opponents because the spring gun just shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be cautious.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring handguns are extremely effective under the right circumstances. Spring guns like pistols can normally fire up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12g BBs but the ability to hit targets reduces rapidly.
Facts About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to bring into the field as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s butt. They operate just like an AEG gun and use forced air pumped through electrically cycled pistons, cylinders, and gearboxes to shoot airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG handgun mags typically hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually increased significantly recently. The earliest generation guns were a little bit unreliable and questionable, however the latest designs have the deficiencies worked out and make effective airsoft backup guns. They can be improved with enhanced mag storage capacities as well as accommodating more powerful batteries.
A massive advantage of using an AEG pistol is that you have the capability to rewire the battery connections to use a bigger battery. Depending on the AEG handgun model, you can get a large jump in efficiency by adopting a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as an alternative for the stock AEP battery.
What Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me to Play with?
If you have over $100 to use to buy your airsoft handgun, take a look at a GBB pistol or AEG pistol. If you have in-between $50 to $100 to upgrade your gun, check out a good quality CO2 handgun or more affordable GBB handgun. You can still find a long lasting airsoft pistol by checking out lower end pistols and by shopping for used pistols if you are looking for a deal.
