How to Choose an Airsoft Pistol
Find information about airsoft handguns and sidearms and how you can use them as backup guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Numerous airsoft pistols are completely accredited replications of their real firearm equivalents and look and operate in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of genuine bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns including CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric sidearms. Each of these forms of sidearms has negatives and positives connected with them. Learning about the types of airsoft pistols allows you to figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most standard and dependable types of sidearms. These pistols use sealed CO2 gas cylinders to launch airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel.
These forms of airsoft handguns are great for airsoft games in cold temperatures due to the fact that the high pressure CO2 gas is less vulnerable to FPS decreases with temperature levels. This provides excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter season for instance where other sorts of airsoft sidearms like green gas stop working or hardly shoot airsoft BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft guns are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a metal cylinder and hold high pressure CO2 gas comprised of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, subsequently the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are attached in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cartridges under really high pressure of near ~ 800psi that converts to 55bar.
The CO2 gas cylinders cannot be used multiple times and you can usually buy them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely and securely within, once they are punctured (shooting them inside of an airsoft gun breaks the cartridge seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are not expended. You need to attempt to expend the entire CO2 cartridge the very same day you open the seal. Use the chance to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas if the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level indication on the cartridge so you have to shoot up until the pistol stops firing.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if the cylinders are stored sealed. They do have a manufacturer’s use by date normally noted on the package or cartridge cylinder, but they will likely maintain pressure for an extended period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not punctured.
Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 pistols, however they use green gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The effect on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is almost the exact same as CO2 handguns with the weapons at around 300+ FPS.
The propane is stashed in the handgun’s airsoft mag which can usually hold around 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the pistol design. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and o-rings keep the gas stored in the mag until the handgun’s trigger is pulled.
When bringing a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a secondary or main gun, bringing additional pistol mags is highly recommended for quickly reloading and engaging opponents. Having additional mags allows you to get back in the action throughout firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas pistols are great for CQB at airsoft fields considering that long guns and full-sized AEGs are generally not enabled to be used during indoor engagements. This is a safety standard because of the close quarters distance of gamers during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas handguns can still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy forcing the BB at a decreased 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 two different kinds of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
While green gas typically works extremely well on the airsoft field, it does have issues. When they are used in the winter in the snow or in colder temperatures (such as under 32 deg F). Given that the green gas or propane gas is kept in the pistol mag using silicone seals and gaskets, the cold can negatively impact these seals and make the gas to seep out before firing the handgun. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to only shoot several feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the gun would usually shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather conditions).
One fix to this issue is to keep the GBB pistol magazines warmer by positioning them next to your body or by a heater prior to game play. If you really need to play with a dependable airsoft handgun in the cold, it might also be worth getting a CO2 variation of your preferred handgun.
Spring Airsoft Handgun Information
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that send the BBs out of the handgun’s barrel. The manual functioning of firing, cocking, and reloading spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols.
Spring guns work best in springer battles where airsoft players can exclusively use related, single shot spring weapons or as an alternative weapon for CQB settings when you can often quietly sneak up on other airsoft players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a quick 2nd follow-up shot is not needed considering that the other player is already hit by the first shot and out of the gameplay or moving back to respawn. Beware when fighting multiple opponents given that the spring weapon only fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring guns are remarkably reliable under the appropriate conditions during games. Their FPS often chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These handguns normally fire lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the springs are less effective than other styles of airsoft guns like rifles. Spring guns can normally engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however the ability to engage targets accurately is reduced quickly. Shooting conventional 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a reduced range of about 60 to 80 feet with improved accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearm Information
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to use as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s butt. They operate similar to an AEG gun and use compressed air with electrically cycled gearboxes, pistons, and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG pistol mags typically hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or about 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electrically powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which is estimated if you have enough magazines to reload (after every 20 to 30 shots) and the battery maintains its charge that long. These pistols can effectively shoot airsoft BBs at about 150 foot distances.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has grown significantly recently. The first generation AEP guns were a little bit unreliable and questionable, but the more recent versions have most of the problems resolved and make efficient airsoft secondary weapons. They can be improved with enhanced magazine storage capacities together with accommodating more powerful batteries.
A substantial advantage of using an AEG handgun is that you have the power to rewire the adapters to use a larger capacity battery. Depending on the AEG pistol style, you can get a substantial jump in efficiency by taking advantage of a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) rather than the stock mini battery.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me?
Deciding on the most ideal airsoft handgun for you depends upon how much you can afford, how much you plan to play airsoft with it, and where you plan to play. If you can afford over $100 to invest in your airsoft handgun, look at a green gas blowback pistol or AEG pistol. These kinds of guns are typically the top-tier guns, have good performance, and could be an excellent pistol to buy. If you can afford about $50 to $100 to spend, check out a CO2 pistol or more affordable green gas blowback pistol. These will still get the job done and are sturdy sidearms. Look for a cheaper CO2 or spring handgun if you have less than $50. You can still get a durable airsoft pistol to use for the pistol airsoft guns.
