Information About the Types of Airsoft Handguns
Learn about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as backup guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field.

There are a variety of airsoft sidearms such as CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these kinds of handguns have negatives and positives related to them. Learning about the styles of airsoft pistols allows you to choose which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Handgun Details
CO2 airsoft guns are one of the most standard and long-lasting types of handguns. These pistols use sealed CO2 gas cylinders to move airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel.
These types of airsoft handguns are very good for airsoft games in cold and snowy weather conditions given that the pressurized CO2 gas is less prone to performance variations caused by temperature. This gives CO2 airsoft guns very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for example where other varieties of handguns like green gas stop operating or hardly fire pellets.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by common 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a shiny metallic cylinder and store high pressured CO2 gas composed of one carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, however when they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft gun breaks the cartridge 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 opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the excess gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime. They have a maker’s best used by date typically printed on the box or cartridge, however, they will likely maintain pressure for a prolonged time past this date if the cartridge seals are not broken.
Green Gas Airsoft Handgun Information
Green gas airsoft sidearms resemble CO2 pistols, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Alternatively, they use green gas or propane for propellant to fire the airsoft pellets. The effect on gameplay and green gas handgun performance is just about the same as CO2 handguns with the weapons shooting up to 300+ feet-per-second (FPS). Shots are rapidly fired in semi-automatic or automatic shooting modes and precisely hit targets at shorter to mid-range distances.
The green gas is housed in the handgun’s magazine which can commonly hold between 15 to 20+ BBs based on the pistol design. A bunch of valves, rubber stoppers, and o-rings keep the green gas pressurized in the magazine up until the handgun’s trigger is squeezed. It is a good choice to top off and refill your propane supply in your magazine each time you load it into the handgun. Pistol-wielding gamers can additionally carry excess bottles of propane gas in the field for refilling mags between breaks in the war or between gameplay.
When using a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or backup weapon, extra handgun mags are recommended for rapidly reloading and engaging opponents. Having extra mags on-hand allows you to re-engage in the action during firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas pistols are excellent for CQB at airsoft fields given that long guns and full-sized AEGs are normally not permitted to be used for indoor shooting. This is a safety standard due to the close range distance of airsoft players during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas handguns can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy moving the BB at a decreased level compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different styles of green gas airsoft pistols. To start with there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These pistols run like an authentic handgun with the slide “blowing back” with every shot. The propane induces the slide to cycle each time a new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. The result is very cool, however the pistols frequently are more expensive and potentially have more which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a stationary slide which does not move. The non-blowback handguns generally cost less than GBBs. Performance is about the same when comparing the two styles of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
While green gas usually can be used extremely well, it does have issues. When they are used throughout the winter playing in the snow or in cold temps (such as under 32 degrees F). Because the green gas or propane is held in the weapon’s magazine by rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, the cold can impair the seals and allow the gas to escape before shooting. This can cause the airsoft BBs to merely shoot several feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the pistol would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temperatures).
One strategy to this problem is to keep the GBB handgun magazines warmer by placing them next to your body, beside a heater, or inside your jacket before the airsoft game play. If you absolutely need to play with a dependable airsoft handgun in the cold, it may additionally be worth getting a CO2 version of your favorite handgun.
Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by powerful springs that propel the airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel. They are usually one shot. The manual actions of reloading, cocking, and firing spring airsoft guns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols. When dueling players on the airsoft field with upgraded weapons, fully auto airsoft AEG assault rifles and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft handguns, this makes spring airsoft pistols enjoyable to use, however less effective.
Spring handguns work best in springer battles where participants can solely use comparable, single shot spring weapons or as a transition weapon for CQB buildings when you can usually sneak up to other airsoft opponents to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a quick second followup shot will not be called for given that the other opponent is already hit by the first BB and out of the gameplay or headed back to respawn. Look out when engaging numerous players due to the fact that the gun only fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring guns are quite efficient under the proper game conditions. Spring handguns can commonly shoot accurately up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but precision decreases rapidly.
About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to use as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s grip. They work just like an AEG gun and use pressurized air with electrically cycled cylinders and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG handgun mags usually can carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs right up to around 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12g airsoft BBs or around 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electrical gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute assuming you have enough spare magazines to reload the gun and the battery holds out that long. These AEP handguns can effectively fire airsoft BBs at about 150 foot distances.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has actually risen substantially over the last few years. The first gen guns were a little bit unreliable and sketchy, but the newer designs have most of the bugs resolved and make reliable airsoft backup guns. They can be further modded with maximized mag capacities in addition to accommodating more powerful batteries.
A huge advantage of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the connections to use a bigger battery. Depending on the AEG handgun type, you can get a sizable output in performance by employing a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as an alternative for the stock AEP battery.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me?
If you have more than one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft handgun, you may want to consider a green gas blowback handgun or automatic electric pistol. If you have between fifty to one-hundred dollars to invest, review a good quality CO2 pistol or less expensive GBB pistol. If your gun budget is lower, you can still get a durable airsoft pistol to use for the pistol games.
