Information on the Varieties of Airsoft Handguns
Learn more about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your shot accuracy and getting the ideal handgun can make an impact in the accuracy of your shots. Sidearms, by nature, are much shorter range airsoft guns. They are normally developed after real world pistols or clones of authentic pistols. Quite a few airsoft pistols are fully certified models of their real-world pistol counterparts. These airsoft guns can function (short of shooting bullets) in the same ways and appear identical to the real guns they are designed after while shooting airsoft BBs instead of actual bullets.
There are a few types of airsoft sidearms including CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun pistols. Each of these types of sidearms have negatives and positives related to them. Finding out about the styles of airsoft pistols allows you to figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most long-lasting and common varieties of pistols. They are all-weather handguns working well in a lot of kinds of varying temperatures, weather and climates. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to send airsoft BBs down the handgun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within a cylinder and is normally housed in the gun’s magazine.
These kinds of airsoft weapons are great for airsoft games in cold weather conditions since the high pressure CO2 gas is less prone to FPS decreases with low temperatures. This gives CO2 airsoft sidearms exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for example where other sorts of airsoft sidearms like green gas stuffer from low performance or barely shoot pellets.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges resemble a shiny metallic cylinder and hold high pressured CO2 gas comprised of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The CO2 cylinders cannot be refilled and you can normally order them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to preserve the CO2 gas safely within, but when they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft handgun breaks the seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. You should attempt to run through the whole CO2 cartridge the very same day you open the seal. Use the opportunity to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas if the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level sign on the cartridge so you have to shoot until the weapon stops shooting BBs.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if they are stored sealed. They have a maker’s expiry date typically marked on the package or cartridge, however, they will likely survive for a very long period past this date if the cartridge seals are not tampered with.
Details About Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft sidearms function similarly to CO2 guns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. As an alternative, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to fire 6mm airsoft BBs. The operational impact on the airsoft battlefield and green gas pistol operation is essentially the same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to 300+ feet per second. Shots are efficiently fired in semi-automatic or automatic shooting modes and precisely hit targets at very short to mid-range proximities.
The green gas is stored in the handgun’s grip within the magazine and can typically hold in-between 15 to 20+ 6mm airsoft BBs based on the gun design. A set of valves, rubberized gaskets, and seals keep the propane pressurized in the pistol mag up to when the handgun’s trigger is pulled. It is a great choice to top off and fill up the propane reserves in your mag each time you load it into the handgun. Pistol-wielding airsoft players can additionally carry extra bottles of green gas in the field for reloading mags in-between lulls in the fight or in-between activities.
When running a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a backup or primary weapon, bringing additional magazines is strongly recommended for quickly reloading. Having additional mags allows you to get back in the action in the course of firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas handguns are excellent for CQB at airsoft fields since long guns and full-sized AEGs are usually not allowed to be used for indoor gameplay. This is a safety rule because of the close range distance of players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas handguns still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy moving the BB lower compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different varieties of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback pistols. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Because the green gas or propane is stored in the handgun magazine by using rubber seals and silicone gaskets, the cold can impact these o-rings and allow the gas to escape before shooting the pistol. This can cause the airsoft BBs to merely land a number of feet (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when it would usually shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather conditions).
One solution to this problem is to make the GBB pistol mags warmer by holding them next to your body, beside a heater, or inside your jacket prior to the airsoft game play. If you absolutely desire to play with a trustworthy airsoft pistol in the cold, it may additionally be worth getting a CO2 version of your favorite pistol.
Info on Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong springs that fire the BBs out of the pistol barrel. They are usually able to only shoot one BB. The manual functions of firing, cocking, and reloading spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols. When going up against challengers on the airsoft field with advanced weaponry, auto airsoft AEG assault rifles and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols, this can make them enjoyable to use, but less effective.
Spring sidearms and guns work best in springer wars where players can solely use comparable, single shot spring pistols or as a close quarters backup weapon for CQB buildings when you can frequently quietly sneak up on other airsoft participants to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a fast second follow-up shot is not required considering that the other person is now hit by the first shot and out of the game or headed back to respawn. When engaging a number of attackers given that the gun only shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be careful.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring handguns are very effective under the appropriate scenarios. Their FPS usually chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12g airsoft BBs. These weapons typically fire lighter weight airsoft BBs because the coiled springs are less powerful than other styles of airsoft guns like rifles. Spring handguns can usually shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to engage targets is reduced quickly. Shooting standard 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a shooting distance of about 60 to 80 feet with heightened precision.
Info on AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely an option to use as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s grip. They work just like an AEG rifle and use compressed air forced through electrically cycled cylinders, pistons, and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol magazines usually store around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs as high as around 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electric battery powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which is estimated if you have enough magazines to reload and the battery maintains its charge that long. These handguns can accurately shoot airsoft BBs at about 150 foot ranges.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually increased considerably in recent years. The earliest gens were a little bit undependable and questionable, but the new designs have most of the problems worked out and make effective airsoft backup weapons. They can be further modified with increased mag capacities and also accommodating larger batteries.
A substantial advantage of using an AEG pistol is that you have the capability to rewire the adapters to use a larger capacity battery. Depending on the AEG pistol model, you can gain a sizable increase in functionality by employing a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock AEP battery.
What Airsoft Handgun is Right for Me?
If you have more than one-hundred dollars to use to buy your airsoft handgun, evaluate a GBB pistol or automatic electric handgun. If you have between $50 to $100 to shell out, review a good quality CO2 pistol or more affordable GBB handgun. You can still get a long lasting airsoft handgun by checking out cheaper pistols and by shopping for used pistols if you are trying to save money.
