How to Pick an Airsoft Handgun
Find out about airsoft sidearms and how you can use them as backup guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the right sidearm and practicing with it can be a game changer in the accuracy of your shots. Handguns, naturally, are much shorter range airsoft weapons. They are typically designed after real world guns or miniatures of actual pistols. Many airsoft pistols are completely licensed reproductions of their real firearm counterparts. These airsoft guns can look and feel and function (sans shooting bullets) in the same ways identical to the real guns they are modeled around while shooting airsoft BBs in place of genuine bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols including CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric sidearms. Each of these types of pistols have negatives and positives associated with them. Learning about the varieties of airsoft handguns allows you to figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most standard and heavy duty kinds of handguns. They are all-weather weapons and work well in lots of types of weather and environments. These handguns use pressurized CO2 gas to move airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel. The CO2 cartridge is typically housed in the handgun’s magazine.
These forms of airsoft guns are great choices for airsoft games in cooler weather conditions considering that the compressed CO2 gas is less susceptible to FPS decreases with low temperatures. This fact gives CO2 airsoft guns great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for example where other varieties of sidearms like green gas stuffer from low performance or barely fire pellets.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft guns are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look like a shiny steel cylinder and hold high pressure CO2 gas consisting of 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms, for this reason the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are attached in the following order “O= C =O”. The gas is stored in the 12 gram cylinders under very high pressure of approximately ~ 800psi that converts to 55bar.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, but as soon as they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft weapon breaks the seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the chance to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the remaining gas.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while if they are stored sealed. They come with a manufacturer’s use by date usually printed on the package or cartridge cylinder, but they may maintain pressure for a prolonged period past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Information About Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 pistols, however they use green gas or propane instead of CO2 cartridges. The result on the battleground and green gas weapon efficiency is virtually the exact same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to 300+ FPS.
The propane gas is stored in the handgun’s mag which can normally hold around 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the handgun style. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone seals keep the gas stored in the mag before the handgun’s trigger is squeezed.
When carrying a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a secondary or primary weapon, bringing extra pistol mags is recommended for rapidly reloading and engaging the op force. Having extra mags on-hand helps you re engage in the action in the course of firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas pistols are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields since long guns and full-sized AEGs are generally not allowed to be used for indoor engagements. This is an essential safety standard because of the close quarters distance of gamers during shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas handguns can still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy sending the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different kinds of green gas airsoft handguns. To start with there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These pistols function like a real pistol with the pistol slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. When a fresh airsoft BB is chambered, the gas causes the slide to cycle. This functionality is very cool, however the GBB handguns frequently are more expensive and possibly have more parts that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a fixed slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback pistols normally cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same between the two kinds of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Because the green gas or propane is stored in the magazine using rubber seals and gaskets, the cold can affect these o-rings and allow the gas to escape prior to shooting the pistol. The lack of pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to merely land a few feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the green gas handgun would normally shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temps).
One fix for this issue is to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by putting them inside your jacket next to your body just before the game play. This can help to warm up the rubber seals and help to seal in the green gas. If you definitely prefer to use a trustworthy airsoft pistol in the cold, it can also be worth getting a CO2 variation of your favorite pistol. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and perform far better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Pistol Info
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by strong springs that fire the airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel. They are normally single-shot. The manual actions of cocking, shooting, and reloading spring handguns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns. When dueling foes on the airsoft field with upgraded rifles like automatic airsoft AEG SMGs, assault rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols, this can make spring guns entertaining to use, however less efficient.
Spring handguns work most effectively in springer wars where players can exclusively use comparable, single shot spring handguns or as a transitional backup weapon for CQB buildings when you can often surprise other airsoft game players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a fast 2nd follow-up shot isn’t required given that the other opponent is now hit by the airsoft BB and out of the game play or going back to respawn. When engaging several foes because the spring gun only shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be careful.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring guns are incredibly useful under the right scenarios and airsoft games. Spring handguns can typically shoot accurately up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs however target accuracy reduces rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearm Info
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to bring as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s butt. They work just like an AEG SMG and use forced air pumped through electrically cycled cylinders, pistons, and gearboxes to shoot airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG handgun magazines typically can hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs right up to around 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or about 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electric battery powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which depends if you have enough spare mags to maintain the ammo supply and the battery lasts that long. These AEP handguns can efficiently fire airsoft BBs at around 150 foot ranges.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has grown significantly recently. The early generations were a bit sketchy and undependable, however the latest models have most of the problems worked out and make efficient airsoft backup guns. They can be further upgraded with enhanced mag capacities along with accommodating bigger batteries.
A big benefit of using an AEG handgun is that you have the ability to rewire the connections to use a larger battery. Depending on the AEG handgun style, you can gain a huge output in functionality by adopting a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) instead of the stock mini battery.
What Airsoft Handgun is Right for Me to Buy?
If you have $100 or more to use to buy your airsoft handgun, take a look at a green gas blowback handgun or automatic electric handgun. If you have between $50 to $100 to buy a gun, check out a good quality CO2 handgun or cheaper GBB handgun. If you are on a budget, you can still get a hold of a long lasting airsoft pistol to use for the handgun games.
