How to Pick an Airsoft Pistol
Learn about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as extra weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Numerous airsoft handguns are completely manufactured and licensed editions of their authentic weapon equivalents and operate and appear in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of authentic bullets.
There are a few kinds of airsoft pistols such as CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these forms of pistols have negatives and positives associated with them. Learning more about the styles of airsoft pistols helps you figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most typical and heavy-duty types of sidearms. These handguns use sealed CO2 gas cylinders to propel airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel.
These styles of airsoft weapons are great choices for playing in cold and snowy weather considering that the pressurized CO2 gas is less sensitive to variation caused by low temperatures. This fact offers exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for example where other types of guns like green gas stop working or hardly shoot pellets.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look like a shiny steel cylinder and store high pressured CO2 gas composed of one carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms, as a result of the molecular formula comes out to be “C + O2 “. These atoms are connected in the following order “O= C =O”. The gas is stored in the 12 gram cartridges under very high pressure of approximately ~ 800psi which translates to 55bar.
The CO2 cartridges cannot be used multiple times and you can normally purchase them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely and securely inside, once they are opened (firing them inside of an airsoft gun breaks the seal) cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are not expended. You should attempt to dissipate the whole 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 sign on the cartridge so you need to shoot up until the weapon stops firing.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime if they are stored sealed. They are made with a manufacturer’s expiry date typically listed on the package or cylinder, however, they will probably stay pressurized for a long period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not tampered with.
Green Gas Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft sidearms resemble CO2 pistols, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Instead, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to shoot the airsoft BBs. The operational impact on airsoft games and green gas weapon performance is essentially the same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to 300+ feet per second. Shots are efficiently fired in fully-automatic or semi-automatic firing modes and can accurately hit targets at very short to mid-range ranges.
The green gas is held in the handgun’s mag and can frequently hold around 15 to 20+ BBs based on the handgun design. A set of valves, rubberized gaskets, and seals keep the propane pressurized in the magazine prior to when the pistol’s trigger is squeezed. It is a great idea to top off and fill up your green gas in your magazine each time you load it into the handgun. Pistol-wielding gamers can additionally bring surplus bottles of green gas or propane in the field for reloading magazines in-between lulls in the fight or in-between game play.
When bringing a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or secondary gun, extra mags are encouraged for quickly reloading and engaging the op force. Having extra mags allows you to join in the action in the middle of firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas pistols are great for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are usually not approved to be used for indoor engagements. This is an essential safety guideline due to the close quarters distance of gamers during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas pistols still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy propelling the BB lower 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. First there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These handguns work like a legitimate pistol with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. The gas causes the slide to cycle every time a fresh airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. The result is extremely cool, but the GBB pistols frequently are more expensive and potentially have more that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a fixed slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback weapons generally cost less than GBBs. Performance is about the same when comparing the two varieties of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Since the green gas or propane gas is housed in the pistol mag using rubber o-rings, seals, and silicone gaskets, the cold can negatively affect these o-rings and allow the gas to leak out before shooting. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to merely land a number of feet away (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when the green gas pistol would typically shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temperatures).
One option to fix this challenge is to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by holding them next to your body just before the airsoft game play. This can help to heat up the seals, gaskets, and valves and help to seal in the green gas. It might also be worth checking out a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun if you truly prefer to play airsoft with a reliable airsoft pistol in the cold. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and perform far better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Pistol Information
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that fire the airsoft BBs down the gun barrel. They are normally one shot. The manual action of shooting, cocking, and reloading spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols. When shooting at rivals on the airsoft field with upgraded rifles like fully auto airsoft AEG rifles, SMGs, and CO2 or GBB airsoft handguns, this makes them entertaining to use, however less effective.
Spring handguns perform most effectively in springer wars where participants can only use comparable, single shot spring weapons or as a transition weapon for CQB environments when you can frequently quietly sneak up on other airsoft opponents to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a quick second followup shot isn’t really needed given that the other player is now struck and out of the gameplay or moving back to respawn. Beware when fighting numerous airsoft players due to the fact that the spring weapon just shoots as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Handgun Effectiveness
Spring guns are very reliable under the appropriate game conditions. Their FPS often chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs. These pistols normally fire lighter weight airsoft BBs since the springs are less powerful than other styles of airsoft guns. Spring pistols can normally engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to engage targets is reduced quickly. Using standard 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a reduced shooting distance of about 60 to 80 feet with improved accuracy.
Facts About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely an option to carry as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are often powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s butt. They operate similar to an AEG rifle and use forced air forced through electrically cycled gearboxes, pistons, and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG handgun mags usually can hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs right up to about 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electric battery powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute assuming you have enough magazines to reload (after every 20 to 30 shots) and the battery lasts that long. These AEP handguns can efficiently fire airsoft BBs at about 150 foot distances.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has actually risen significantly in the last few years. The first generation guns were a little bit unreliable and questionable, but the new versions have the bugs worked out and make effective airsoft secondary guns. They can be modded with enhanced magazine storage capacities and by accommodating bigger batteries.
A large advantage of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the capacity to rewire the wires to use a more substantial battery. Depending upon the AEG pistol version, you are able to get a large leap in efficiency using a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) instead of the stock AEP battery. Be careful when modifying the elements and the gun’s wires since you should take into consideration the volts, mAh, and loads of the battery. If you have customization questions, ask an experienced weapon tech at your nearest airsoft store or shop.
Which Airsoft Handgun is Best for Me to Play with?
Selecting the best airsoft sidearm for you depends upon your gun budget, how often you would like to play airsoft with it, and where you plan to play. If you have more than $100 to spend on your airsoft pistol, look into a green gas pistol or AEP handgun. These are typically the best of the best, have the best build qualities, and are usually an excellent airsoft gun to invest in. Check out a CO2 pistol or less expensive GBB handgun if you have in-between more than fifty but less than one-hundred dollars to spend. Middle of the road guns like these will still be fun to play with and are long lasting sidearms. If you have $50 or less, research a low end CO2 or springer handgun. You can still find a sturdy airsoft pistol to use for the handgun games.
