How to Pick an Airsoft Pistol
Find information about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as backup guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. A large number of airsoft handguns are completely licensed replications of their genuine handgun equivalents and operate and appear in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than genuine bullets.
There are a number of varieties of airsoft sidearms such as CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric sidearms. Each of these forms of handguns have benefits and differences connected with them. Learning about the kinds of airsoft handguns helps you choose which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most heavy-duty and typical types of sidearms. These pistols use sealed CO2 gas cylinders to launch airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel.
These types of airsoft guns are great choices for airsoft games in colder weather due to the fact that the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less prone to variation by temperature. This provides excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for instance where other varieties of airsoft guns like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly shoot BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by typical 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges resemble a chrome metal cylinder and contain high-pressure CO2 gas composed of just one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, as a result the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are bonded in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cartridge cylinders under extremely high pressure of approximately ~ 800psi that translates to 55bar.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely within, but soon after they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft pistol breaks the 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 chance to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They have a supplier’s expiration date usually listed on the box or cartridge cylinder, however they will probably last for a very long time past this date if the cartridge seals are not punctured.
Green Gas Airsoft Handgun Details
Green gas airsoft handguns resemble CO2 pistols, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Rather, they use green gas or propane for propellant to shoot the airsoft BBs. The impact on the battlefield and green gas weapon performance is basically the same as CO2 handguns with the weapons shooting up to about 300+ FPS. Shots are rapidly fired in fully-automatic or semi-automatic firing modes and can hit targets at shorter to mid-range proximities.
The green gas is kept in the pistol’s magazine which can frequently hold roughly 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the handgun style. A bunch of valves, silicone gaskets, and o-rings keep the propane gas stored in the pistol magazine prior to when the pistol’s trigger is squeezed. It is a good habit to top off and refill your propane reserves in the pistol mag each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding airsoft players can also bring additional bottles of propane in the field for refilling mags between lulls in the battle or between missions.
When playing with a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a backup or primary gun, bringing additional mags is encouraged for quickly reloading and engaging the op force. Having extra magazines on-hand helps you reengage in the action throughout firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas pistols are great for CQB at airsoft fields considering rifles and full-sized AEGs are usually not permitted to be used for indoor game play. This is an essential safety rule due to the close range proximity of players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas pistols still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy moving the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various styles of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These guns run like an actual pistol with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. The gas induces the slide to cycle every time a fresh airsoft BB is chambered. The result is very cool, however the handguns usually cost more and potentially have more which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a fixed slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback weapons commonly cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same when comparing the two styles of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Since the green gas or propane gas is stored in the mag by using rubber seals and silicone gaskets, cold weather can negatively affect these seals and allow the stored gas to leak out prior to shooting the pistol. This lack of pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to only shoot a couple of feet away (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when it would usually shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temperatures).
One fix to this issue is to make the GBB pistol mags warmer by holding them next to your body just before the airsoft game play. If you truly need to play with a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold weather, it might also be worth getting a CO2 variation of your preferred handgun.
Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft guns are powered by powerful springs that propel the BBs out of the handgun’s barrel. The manual functioning of cocking, firing, and reloading spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB airsoft guns.
Spring handguns work most effectively in springer battles where players can exclusively use comparable, single shot spring pistols or as a transitional weapon for CQB buildings when you can often quietly sneak up on other airsoft opponents to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a rapid second followup shot isn’t called for due to the fact that the other player is already hit and out of the game or running back to respawn. When engaging many different players considering that the springer just shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring handguns are remarkably useful under the best game circumstances. Their FPS often chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These guns generally fire lighter weight airsoft BBs because the springs are less powerful than other styles of airsoft guns. Spring pistols can usually shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but the ability to engage targets is reduced rapidly. Shooting standard 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a range of around 60 to 80 feet or less with improved precision.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearm Facts
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to carry as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s butt. They operate just like an AEG gun and use compressed air pumped through electrically cycled gearboxes and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol mags generally can carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has increased significantly over the last few years. The initial gen AEP guns were a little bit sketchy and undependable, however the latest versions have the deficiencies worked out and make efficient airsoft secondary guns. They can be modified with maximized magazine capacities together with accommodating more powerful batteries.
A significant benefit of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the power to rewire the connectors to use a bigger battery. Depending on the AEG pistol style, you can get a large output in efficiency by employing a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) rather than the stock battery.
What Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me?
Picking the ideal airsoft handgun for you depends on how much you can afford to spend, how often you desire to play airsoft with it, and where you plan to play. Take a look at a green gas blowback pistol or AEG pistol if you have $100 or more to invest on your airsoft handgun. These are typically the top of the line, have great build qualities, and can be a pretty good investment. If you have around $50 to $100 to devote to your airsoft gun purchase, have a look at a CO2 handgun or a less expensive green gas handgun. These will still work well and can be pretty sturdy sidearms. If you have fifty dollars or less, search for a cheaper CO2 or springer pistol. You can still buy a heavy-duty airsoft handgun to use for the handgun airsoft guns.
