Airsoft Pistol Style Additional Information
Learn about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as secondary guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Many airsoft handguns are fully manufactured models of their authentic firearm counterparts and function and look in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than real bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns such as CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun pistols. Each of these varieties of pistols come with negatives and positives connected with them. Learning about the varieties of airsoft pistols allows you to decide which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
About CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most durable and standard types of sidearms. These pistols use pressurized CO2 gas to send airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel.
These types of airsoft handguns are excellent for playing in colder weather conditions because the high pressure CO2 gas is less vulnerable to performance variations with temperature levels. This fact offers great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for instance where other sorts of airsoft pistols like green gas stop functioning or hardly fire BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges resemble a shiny cylinder and contain high-pressure CO2 gas composed of 1 carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms hence the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, however soon after they are opened (firing them inside of an airsoft pistol breaks the cartridge seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the remaining gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They have a supplier’s use by date typically noted on the package or cylinder, however, they will probably stay pressurized for an extended time past this date if the cartridge seals are not punctured.
Details About Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft pistols are comparable to CO2 handguns, but they use propane gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The effect on the battlefield and green gas weapon performance is practically the very same as CO2 handguns with the weapons at about 300+ FPS.
The green gas is stashed in the handgun’s airsoft magazine which can commonly hold around 15 to 20+ BBs based on the pistol model. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and seals keep the gas pressurized in the mag before the pistol’s trigger is pulled.
When bringing a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a backup or main gun, additional pistol mags are recommended for quickly reloading and engaging opponents. Having additional magazines on-hand helps you reengage in the action in the course of firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields considering long guns and full-sized AEGs are normally not authorized to be used during indoor engagements. This is a safety rule due to the close quarters proximity of airsoft players during the shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy moving the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various forms of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These guns run like a legitimate handgun with the gun’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 extremely cool, however the handguns often are more expensive and likely have more that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns use a fixed slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback guns typically cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same between the two kinds of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
While green gas usually functions effectively, it does have constraints. When they are used throughout the winter airsoft games in the snow or in colder temperatures (such as below 32 deg F). Given that the green gas or propane is stored in the magazine by silicone seals and gaskets, cold temperatures can negatively impact these seals and cause the stored gas to leak out prior to firing the pistol. The depressurized gas can cause the airsoft BBs to just shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the gun would typically shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer temperatures).
One fix to this problem is to make the GBB handgun magazines warmer by holding them next to your body before the airsoft game play. If you really desire to play with a trustworthy airsoft handgun in the cold, it might additionally be worth getting a CO2 variation of your preferred handgun.
Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft guns are powered by powerful springs with irregular pitches that launch the BBs out of the pistol barrel. They are normally one shot. The manual functions of cocking, firing, and reloading spring guns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols. When fighting against airsoft players on the airsoft field with advanced weaponry like automatic airsoft AEG assault rifles, SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft handguns, this can make spring airsoft pistols fun to use, but less efficient.
Spring guns perform best in springer battles where airsoft players can only use related, single shot spring handguns or as a transitional backup gun for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can often quietly sneak up on other airsoft participants to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a fast 2nd followup shot will not be really needed since the other opponent is now hit by the first BB and out of the game or running back to respawn. Be careful when engaging several enemies since the spring weapon just shoots as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Handgun Efficiency
Spring handguns are incredibly efficient under the best conditions. Spring pistols can often fire up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but accuracy decreases quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearm Info
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable 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 butt. They operate similar to an AEG rifle and use compressed air forced through electrically cycled gearboxes, pistons, and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG pistol mags typically can hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually grown considerably recently. The earliest gens were a little bit sketchy and unreliable, but the newer models have most of the issues resolved and make effective airsoft backup weapons. They can be modded with maximized magazine storage capacities along with accommodating more powerful batteries.
A substantial benefit of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the capability to rewire the battery connectors to use a more substantial battery. Depending on the AEG handgun model, you can get a substantial output in performance by employing a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) instead of the stock mini battery.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me to Play with?
Picking out the ideal airsoft sidearm for you depends on how much you can afford, how much you desire to play airsoft with it, and where you decide to play. Consider a GBB pistol or automatic electric AEP handgun if you have over $100 to spend on your airsoft handgun. These guns are typically the top of the line, have good build qualities, and could be a good gun to invest in. Check out a CO2 handgun or less expensive GBB handgun if you have between more than $50 but less than $100 to put towards an airsoft gun purchase. Middle of the road guns like these will still do the job and will be pretty tough sidearms. If you have fifty dollars or less, research a cheap CO2 or springer pistol. You can still buy a strong airsoft handgun to use for the handgun airsoft guns.
