Airsoft Pistol Style Details
Learn about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as secondary weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Lots of airsoft handguns are fully manufactured models of their actual pistol equivalents and look and operate in the same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of real bullets.
There are a number of varieties of airsoft sidearms consisting of CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these types of pistols have positives and negatives associated with them. Learning more about the varieties of airsoft pistols lets you choose which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft pistols are among the most typical and resilient types of pistols. They are all-weather guns and work well in a lot of kinds of extreme temperatures, weather and climates. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to force airsoft BBs down the handgun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within the cylinder and is normally stored in the gun’s magazine.
These kinds of airsoft handguns are exceptional for playing airsoft in colder weather conditions given that the pressurized CO2 gas is less sensitive to variation by low temperature. This fact gives CO2 airsoft sidearms good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for instance where other kinds of airsoft sidearms like green gas stuffer from low performance or barely fire BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by common 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look similar to a shiny cylinder and hold high pressure CO2 gas made up of just one carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms hence the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The CO2 cartridge cylinders cannot be refilled and you can typically purchase them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to preserve the CO2 gas safely inside, once they are opened (firing them inside of an airsoft gun breaks the cartridge seal) the cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. You should attempt to deplete the whole CO2 cartridge the exact same day you open the seal. Use the opportunity to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the excess gas if the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level gauge on the cartridge so you have to shoot up until the gun stops firing airsoft BBs.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They have the manufacturer’s expiry date typically noted on the box or cartridge cylinder, however, they will stay pressurized for an extended period past this date if the cartridge seal is not tampered with.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft pistols are similar to CO2 handguns, but they use propane gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The result on the battleground and green gas weapon efficiency is almost the same as CO2 handguns with the weapons at about 300+ FPS.
The green gas is kept in the pistol’s grip within the magazine which can frequently hold around 15 to 20+ 6mm airsoft BBs based on the gun design. A bunch of valves, rubber stoppers, and seals keep the propane housed in the pistol magazine up to the point the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a great choice to top off and refill the green gas reserves in the pistol mag each time you load it into the handgun. Pistol-wielding airsoft players can additionally bring supplemental bottles of propane in the field for refilling mags between breaks in the war or between missions.
When using a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a main or backup gun, additional handgun magazines are recommended for rapidly reloading and engaging the op force. Having additional mags on-hand helps you get back in the action during firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are typically not allowed to be used for indoor engagements. This is a safety regulation because of the close range proximity of players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas pistols still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy propelling the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different forms of green gas airsoft handguns. To start with there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These pistols work like an authentic pistol with the slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. The propane gas induces the slide to cycle each time when a brand-new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. The result is very cool, however the handguns usually cost more and potentially have more parts that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns use a stationary slide which does not move. The non-blowback handguns normally cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is around the same when comparing the two styles of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
Since the green gas or propane gas is housed in the handgun mag by using rubber seals, o-rings, and silicone gaskets, cold temperatures can impact these seals and allow the stored gas to escape prior to shooting the handgun. This lack of pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to just land a few feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the handgun would usually shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temperatures).
One fix to this problem is to make the GBB handgun magazines warmer by putting them next to your body prior to game play. If you truly need to play with a trustworthy airsoft pistol in the cold weather, it may additionally be worth getting a CO2 style of your preferred handgun.
Facts About Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by strong springs that fire the airsoft BBs down the pistol barrel. They are typically one shot only. The manual functions of cocking, reloading, and firing spring guns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns. When confronting adversaries on the airsoft field with advanced weaponry, automatic airsoft AEG rifles, SMGs, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols, this makes spring airsoft guns enjoyable to use, but less efficient.
Spring guns perform most effectively in springer battles where participants can just use similar, single shot spring weapons or as a transition backup gun for CQB buildings when you can usually sneak up to other airsoft participants to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a rapid 2nd follow-up shot is not really needed due to the fact that the other opponent is already hit and out of the game or going back to respawn. When engaging several rivals since the springer only fires as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring handguns are very effective under the appropriate conditions during games. Spring guns can generally fire up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12 gram BBs but accuracy decreases quickly.
About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to carry as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s grip. They work much like an AEG gun and use pressured air pumped through electrically cycled pistons and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG pistol mags typically can hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs as high as around 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electric battery powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute assuming you have enough spare mags to reload (after every 20 to 30 shots) and the battery holds out that long. These handguns can efficiently fire airsoft BBs at around 150 foot ranges.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has increased significantly over the last few years. The first gens were a little bit sketchy and undependable, but the newer versions have most of the problems worked out and make effective airsoft backup weapons. They can be upgraded with enhanced mag storage capacities together with accommodating bigger batteries.
A substantial perk of buying an AEG handgun is that you have the ability to rewire the battery wires to use a more substantial battery. Depending on the AEG handgun version, you can gain a large leap in functionality utilizing a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) in place of the stock AEP battery. Take extra precautions when customizing the elements and the gun’s wires because you have to think about the voltages, mAh, and electrical loads of the batteries. If you have modding concerns, ask an experienced gun technician at your closest airsoft store or shop.
What Airsoft Handgun is Best for Me to Play with?
Looking for the right airsoft pistol for you depends on your gun budget, how much you wish to play airsoft using it, and where you hope to play. If you can afford over $100 to spend on your airsoft handgun, take a look at a green gas blowback handgun or AEG handgun. These are typically the best of the best, have the greatest build qualities, and can be an excellent investment. If you have between $50 to $100 to use for your gun, look at a CO2 handgun or a cheaper GBB handgun. Middle of the road guns like these will still work well and can be pretty tough sidearms. If you have fifty dollars or less, shop for a cheap CO2 or spring handgun. You can still find a tough airsoft pistol to use for the pistol games.
