How to Choose an Airsoft Pistol
Find out about airsoft sidearms and how you can use them as backup guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your shot accuracy and getting the ideal pistol can make all the difference in hitting your shots. Pistols, by nature, are much shorter range airsoft weapons. They are usually produced after real sidearms or look-alikes of real pistols. A lot of airsoft sidearms are completely certified variations of their real weapon counterparts. These airsoft guns can function (sans shooting bullets) in the same ways and look and feel similarly to the real guns they are designed after while blasting airsoft BBs rather than actual bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns consisting of CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these forms of sidearms come with negatives and positives associated with them. Learning about the styles of airsoft sidearms lets you choose which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most dependable and standard types of pistols. These handguns use sealed CO2 gas cylinders to propel airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel.
These kinds of airsoft guns are very good for playing in cold weather conditions since the pressurized CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less sensitive to variation with temperature levels. This fact provides exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for instance where other kinds of airsoft handguns like green gas stop functioning or hardly fire pellets.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by common 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges resemble a shiny metallic cylinder and contain high pressure CO2 gas comprised of one carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The CO2 gas cartridge cylinders cannot be used multiple times and you can usually order them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, once they are opened (firing them in an airsoft pistol breaks the cartridge seal) the cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are not used up. You should try to burn up the entire 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 extra 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 gun stops shooting BBs.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if they are stored sealed. They come with the supplier’s expiry date usually printed on the box or cartridge cylinder, however, they will maintain pressure for a long time past this date if the cartridge seal is not broken.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Sidearm Facts
Green gas airsoft pistols resemble CO2 handguns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. As an alternative, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to fire the airsoft pellets. The outcome on gameplay and green gas handgun efficiency is essentially the same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to about 300+ FPS. Shots are rapidly fired in semi-automatic or automatic shooting modes and precisely hit targets at short to mid-range proximities.
The green gas is housed in the pistol’s magazine which can frequently hold roughly 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending upon the pistol design. A series of valves, rubber stoppers, and o-rings keep the propane gas stored in the magazine until the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a great habit to top off and fill up the green gas reserves in the magazine each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding gamers can also bring excess bottles of propane in the field for refilling mags in-between lulls in the fight or in-between gameplay.
When playing with a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a backup or main gun, additional handgun mags are strongly recommended for rapidly reloading and getting back into the game. Having additional magazines on-hand allows you to re engage in the action in the middle of firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields because long guns and full-sized AEGs are generally not authorized to be used for indoor gameplay. This is a safety standard because of the close range proximity of players during shooting engagements. While green gas handguns still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy shooting the BB at a lower level compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various types of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback pistols. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Because the green gas or propane gas is kept in the pistol magazine by rubber seals and silicone gaskets, the cold can influence these seals and allow the stored gas to leak out prior to shooting. The lack of pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to only shoot a few feet away (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the gun would normally shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temps).
One fix to this issue is to make the GBB pistol mags warmer by holding them next to your body prior to game play. If you absolutely want to play with a trustworthy airsoft handgun in the cold weather, it might also be worth getting a CO2 style of your preferred pistol.
Spring Airsoft Pistol Information
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that send the BBs out of the pistol barrel. The manual actions of cocking, firing, and reloading spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB airsoft guns.
Spring airsoft guns work most effectively in springer wars where opponents can solely use related, single shot spring pistols or as an alternative backup weapon for CQB environments when you can often surprise other airsoft players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a fast second follow-up shot will not be required given that the other player is already hit by the first shot and out of the gameplay or moving back to respawn. When engaging numerous adversaries because the gun just fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be careful.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring guns are remarkably useful under the right scenarios. Their FPS typically chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs. These weapons typically fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs since the coiled springs are less powerful than other styles of airsoft guns. Spring handguns can normally be accurate at up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however the ability to hit targets accurately decreases rapidly. Shooting standard 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a decreased shooting distance of about 60 to 80 feet with enhanced precision.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistol Details
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely an option to bring as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s butt. They function just like an AEG gun and use compressed air with electrically cycled gearboxes, pistons, and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol mags generally carry 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 about 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electric gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which depends on if you have enough spare mags to maintain the ammo supply and the battery lasts that long. These AEP pistols can accurately shoot airsoft BBs at about 150 foot distances.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually increased considerably recently. The early generations were a bit unreliable and sketchy, however the new designs have the deficiencies resolved and make efficient airsoft backup weapons. They can be modded with maximized mag capacities as well as accommodating more powerful batteries.
A significant advantage of using an AEG handgun is that you have the power to rewire the adapters to use a more substantial battery. Depending on the AEG handgun model, you can gain a sizable increase in functionality by using a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) rather than the stock mini battery.
What Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me to Buy?
If you have over $100 to spend on your airsoft pistol, evaluate a GBB handgun or AEG handgun. If you have around fifty to one-hundred dollars to buy a gun, evaluate a good quality CO2 handgun or cheaper GBB handgun. You can still play with a resilient airsoft handgun by checking out cheaper pistols and by trading with players selling used airsoft guns if you are trying to save money.
