How to Pick an Airsoft Handgun
Find information about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as backup weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Many airsoft handguns are completely licensed replications of their actual firearm equivalents and look and operate in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than actual bullets.
There are a few types of airsoft pistols such as CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these types of sidearms come with positives and negatives associated with them. Learning about the styles of airsoft handguns allows you to figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most popular and long-lasting types of handguns. These pistols use sealed CO2 gas cylinders to force airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel.
These kinds of airsoft guns are very good for airsoft games in colder temperatures given that the high pressure CO2 gas is less vulnerable to variation caused by low temperature. This fact provides good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for instance where other types of handguns like green gas cease to work or hardly fire pellets.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look like a shiny cylinder and contain high-pressure CO2 gas consisting of one carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The CO2 cylinders cannot be refilled and you can typically order them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to preserve the CO2 gas safely inside, once they are opened (firing them in an airsoft gun breaks the seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are not used up. You ought to attempt to burn up the whole CO2 cartridge the exact same day you open the seal. Use the chance to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas if the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level indication on the cartridge so you need to shoot until the weapon stops shooting airsoft BBs.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if they are kept sealed. They come with the manufacturer’s best used by date usually noted on the box or cartridge, however, they can stay pressurized for a prolonged time past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Details About Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft pistols function similarly to CO2 pistols, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Rather, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to shoot the airsoft pellets. The result on airsoft games and green gas handgun effectiveness is essentially the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to about 300+ FPS. Shots are efficiently fired in semi-automatic or automatic shooting modes and can accurately hit targets at very short to mid-range proximities.
The propane is kept in the pistol’s airsoft magazine which can frequently hold around 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the handgun style. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and seals keep the gas stored in the mag until the handgun’s trigger is pulled.
When carrying a green gas pistol on the airsoft field as a main or backup gun, extra handgun mags are highly recommended for rapidly reloading. Having extra magazines on-hand allows you to reengage in the action during firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas handguns are great for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles and full-sized AEGs are usually not allowed to be used for indoor game play. This is an essential safety regulation due to the close range proximity of airsoft players during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas handguns still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy moving the BB lower compared to AEGs, 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. First there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These handguns run like an actual pistol with the pistol slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. Every time a brand-new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber, the gas triggers the slide to cycle. This functionality is extremely cool, but the handguns often cost more and potentially have more which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a fixed slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback handguns commonly cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same between the two varieties of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Because the green gas or propane is kept in the handgun mag using rubber o-rings, seals, and silicone gaskets, cold temperatures can impact these seals and allow the gas to leak out prior to shooting. This lack of pressure can make the airsoft BBs to just shoot a few feet away (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the GBB handgun would typically shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather).
One fix for this challenge is to keep the GBB handgun magazines warmer by putting them next to a heater or by your body just before the game play. This can help to warm up the seals, gaskets, and valves and help to seal in the green gas. If you definitely want to play airsoft with a trustworthy airsoft handgun in the cold, it can also be better to check out a CO2 variation of your preferred handgun. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and the gun will shoot much better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Pistol Facts
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that fire the BBs out of the gun barrel. The manual actions of shooting, cocking, and reloading spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB airsoft guns.
Spring pistols perform most effectively in springer wars where participants can exclusively use similar, single shot spring weapons or as a close quarters weapon for CQB environments when you can usually sneak up to other airsoft participants to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a quick second followup shot will not be required due to the fact that the other opponent is now hit by the first shot and out of the game play or running back to respawn. Be careful when attacking a number of airsoft players given that the spring weapon only shoots as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring pistols are considerably useful under the best game circumstances. Their FPS generally chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These handguns generally fire lighter weight airsoft BBs since the coiled springs are less powerful than other styles of airsoft weapons. Spring handguns can generally be accurate at up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however the ability to hit targets decreases quickly. Shooting regular 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a range of around 60 to 80 feet with heightened accuracy.
About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to bring as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s butt. They function similar to an AEG gun and use pressured air pumped through electrically cycled cylinders, pistons, and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG handgun mags typically carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs approximately around 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS when loaded with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electrically powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute assuming you have enough spare magazines to maintain the ammo supply and the battery lasts that long. These AEP handguns can effectively shoot airsoft BBs at about 150 foot ranges.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has actually grown considerably in recent years. The first generation AEP guns were a bit undependable and sketchy, however the newer designs have most of the deficiencies worked out and make efficient airsoft backup guns. They can be modified with enhanced mag capacities together with accommodating larger batteries.
A significant benefit of using an AEG handgun is that you have the power to rewire the connections to use a bigger battery. Depending on the AEG handgun design, you can get a substantial increase in efficiency by adopting a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock mini battery.
Which Airsoft Handgun is Best for Me?
If you have more than one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft pistol, take a look at a green gas blowback pistol or AEG pistol. If you have around fifty to one-hundred dollars to spend, review a CO2 handgun or more affordable GBB handgun. If you are on a budget, you can still get a resilient airsoft handgun to use for the pistol games.
