Info About the Styles of Airsoft Pistols
Find information about airsoft pistols and how you can use them as backup guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the ideal handgun and practicing with it can make all the difference in blasting your shots. Handguns, by nature, are much shorter range airsoft guns. They are commonly designed after real guns or look-alikes of authentic pistols. A lot of airsoft pistols are completely certified adaptations of their authentic gun equivalents. These airsoft guns can look and feel and run in the same ways identically to the real guns they are designed after while blasting airsoft BBs in place of real-world bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols such as CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric sidearms. Each of these styles of handguns come with positives and negatives associated with them. Learning about the kinds of airsoft pistols lets you decide which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft handguns are among the most popular and heavy-duty varieties of handguns. They are all-season, all-weather pistols and work well in a lot of types of weather, extreme temperatures, and climates. These pistols use pressurized CO2 gas to shoot airsoft BBs down the weapon barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within a cylinder and is usually stored in the gun’s mag inside the handle.
These kinds of airsoft weapons are exceptional for airsoft games in cold and snowy weather conditions considering that the compressed CO2 gas is less vulnerable to variation caused by low temperature. This provides good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for example where other varieties of handguns like green gas stop performing or hardly shoot BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges resemble a shiny metallic cylinder and store high pressure CO2 gas comprised of 1 carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, but when they are opened (firing them inside of an airsoft weapon breaks the cartridge seal) they will start 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 pistol target practice and use up the rest of the excess gas.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime if the cylinders are kept sealed. They come with a supplier’s expiration date typically noted on the box or cylinder, however, they will likely last for an extended period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Information About Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 handguns, but they use green gas or propane instead of CO2 cartridges. The effect on the battlefield and green gas weapon performance is almost the same as CO2 handguns with the guns at around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is held in the handgun’s mag and can frequently hold around 15 to 20+ 6mm airsoft BBs depending upon the pistol model. A bunch of valves, silicone stoppers, and seals keep the propane sealed in the pistol magazine up to the point the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a great habit to top off and fill up your green gas in the mag each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding players can also bring supplemental bottles of propane gas in the field for refilling magazines in-between breaks in the fight or between game play.
When running a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a backup or main weapon, extra mags are recommended for rapidly reloading. Having additional magazines allows you to re engage in the action in the course of firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are great for CQB at airsoft fields because rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are usually not allowed to be used during indoor shooting. This is an essential safety rule because of the close range distance of airsoft players during shooting engagements. While green gas pistols still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel helps to keep the joules and energy pushing the BB at a lower level compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various styles of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback handguns 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 Limits
While green gas usually can be used extremely well on the airsoft field, it does have issues. When green gas and GBB guns are used in the winter playing in the snow or in cold weather (such as under 32 degrees F). Considering that the green gas or propane is stored in the weapon’s mag using rubber seals and gaskets, cold weather can negatively impact the seals and cause the gas to seep out before firing the pistol. The depressurized gas can make the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when it would typically shoot BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temperatures).
One strategy to this issue is to keep the GBB handgun magazines warmer by putting them next to your body or near a heat source just before the airsoft game play starts. If you absolutely desire to play with a reputable 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 pistols are powered by powerful springs with irregular pitches that launch the airsoft BBs down the handgun barrel. They are generally able to only shoot one BB. The manual action of cocking, firing, and reloading spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns. When fighting foes on the airsoft field with upgraded rifles, fully automatic airsoft AEG SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2 or GBB airsoft pistols, this can make spring airsoft pistols fun to use, however less efficient.
Spring airsoft guns perform most effectively in springer wars where airsoft players can solely use similar, single shot spring guns or as a transition weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can often surprise other airsoft players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a fast second follow-up shot isn’t needed considering that the other opponent is already hit by the first BB and out of the gameplay or going back to respawn. Be careful when fighting multiple airsoft players given that the springer only shoots as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring pistols are really effective under the proper conditions during airsoft games. Spring pistols can normally shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however precision reduces rapidly.
About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely an option to carry as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s handle. They operate much like an AEG gun and use pressured air with electrically cycled gearboxes, pistons, and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG handgun magazines usually carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs right up to about 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12g airsoft BBs or around 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electric battery powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which depends if you have enough spare magazines to reload with and the battery holds out that long. These AEP pistols can efficiently fire airsoft BBs at around 150 foot distances.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually grown considerably over the last few years. The first generation guns were a little bit unreliable and questionable, but the more recent designs have most of the problems resolved and make reliable airsoft secondary weapons. They can be further modded with enhanced magazine storage capacities along with accommodating bigger batteries.
A large benefit of buying an AEG pistol is that you have the capacity to rewire the connectors to use an enhanced battery. Based on the AEG pistol model, you can gain a big boost in efficiency utilizing a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) in place of the standard mini battery. Take extra precautions when customizing the components and wires since you must take into consideration the voltages, mAh, and electrical loads of the batteries. If you have customization concerns, ask an experienced weapon tech at your closest airsoft shop.

These guns are usually the best of the best, have the best efficiency, and are usually a good airsoft gun to invest in. Take a look at a CO2 pistol or less expensive GBB handgun if you have around more than $50 but less than $100 to put into an airsoft gun purchase.
