How to Choose an Airsoft Pistol
Find out about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your accuracy and getting the best pistol can be a game changer in the accuracy of your shots. Handguns, by nature, are reduced range airsoft guns. They are most often fashioned after genuine pistols or look-alikes of actual handguns. Quite a few airsoft pistols are fully licensed versions of their genuine handgun equivalents. These airsoft guns can visually look and handle in the same ways identically to the real guns they are modeled around while blasting airsoft BBs instead of genuine bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns consisting of CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these kinds of sidearms come with negatives and positives connected with them. Learning more about the styles of airsoft handguns allows you to figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Sidearm Details
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most heavy-duty and standard varieties of handguns. They are all season guns working well in many kinds of weather, temperatures, and environments. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to push airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel. The CO2 cartridge is normally held in the gun’s mag inside the handle.
These styles of airsoft weapons are good for playing airsoft in colder weather conditions since the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less sensitive to variation caused by low temperatures. This gives CO2 airsoft guns exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the wintertime for instance where other types of guns like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly fire BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look like a shiny cylinder and contain high pressured CO2 gas composed of 1 carbon atom and two oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The CO2 cylinders are not multiple-use and you can typically purchase them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, but once they are opened (firing them in an airsoft gun breaks the seal) the cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are not used up. You need to attempt to consume the whole CO2 cartridge the exact 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 matches end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level guide on the cartridge so you have to shoot until the handgun stops firing BBs.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while. They are made with a maker’s expiry date usually listed on the package or cartridge cylinder, however, they will probably maintain pressure for a long time past this date if the cartridge seals are not tampered with.
Green Gas Airsoft Sidearm Details
Green gas airsoft sidearms resemble CO2 handguns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Rather, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to shoot the airsoft pellets. The impact on game play and green gas sidearm effectiveness is basically the same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to about 300+ feet-per-second (FPS). Shots are quickly fired in semi-automatic or fully-automatic firing modes and accurate at short to mid-range ranges.
The green gas is housed in the handgun’s mag which can often hold in-between 15 to 20+ 6mm BBs based on the handgun design. A bunch of valves, rubberized stoppers, and o-rings keep the propane sealed in the mag prior to when the handgun’s trigger is squeezed. It is a great idea to refill and top off your propane supply in your magazine each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding airsoft players can additionally take extra bottles of green gas or propane in the field for reloading in-between lulls in the war or between game play.
When running a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a secondary or main gun, additional mags are advised for quickly reloading and getting back into the game. Having additional magazines on-hand helps you join in the action throughout firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas pistols are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields considering that rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are usually not authorized to be used for indoor shooting. This is an essential safety regulation due to the close range proximity of players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy moving the BB at a decreased level compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different types of green gas airsoft handguns. To begin with there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These pistols work like a legitimate pistol with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. The gas induces the slide to cycle every time when a fresh airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. The result is extremely cool, but the handguns frequently cost more and potentially have more parts that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns use a fixed slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback pistols commonly cost less than GBBs. Performance is about the same between the two styles of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
While green gas typically performs extremely well on the airsoft field, it does have issues. When they are used in the winter season in the snow or in cold temperatures (such as under 32 deg F). Because the green gas or propane gas is kept in the pistol mag using rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold weather can affect the seals and make the gas to escape prior to firing the handgun. The depressurized gas can cause the airsoft BBs to just shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the pistol would normally shoot BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer weather conditions).
One solution to this problem is to make the GBB handgun mags warmer by putting them next to your body or by a heater just before the airsoft game play. If you truly want to play with a reputable airsoft pistol in the cold weather, it may additionally be worth getting a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun.
Spring Airsoft Sidearm Details
Spring airsoft guns are powered by powerful springs that launch the airsoft BBs down the gun barrel. They are normally single-shot. The manual functioning of reloading, cocking, and shooting spring airsoft guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns. When fighting airsoft players on the airsoft field with upgraded rifles like fully auto airsoft AEG assault rifles and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols, this can make spring airsoft pistols fun to use, however less efficient.
Spring sidearms and guns work the best in springer battles where opponents can only use related, single shot spring handguns or as an alternative backup weapon for CQB environments when you can often surprise other airsoft players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a quick 2nd followup shot isn’t required because the other person is now hit by the first shot and out of the game or heading back to respawn. Be careful when fighting a number of adversaries since the springer just shoots as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring handguns are really effective under the proper scenarios and airsoft games. Spring handguns can typically fire up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but the ability to engage targets reduces rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistol Facts
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely an option to carry as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s grip. They operate similar to an AEG rifle and use forced air with electrically cycled pistons, cylinders, and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG handgun magazines generally can hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs right up to about 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12g airsoft BBs or about 200 to 250 FPS when loaded with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electrical gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute which depends on if you have enough magazines to maintain the ammo supply and the battery holds out that long. These AEP pistols can precisely fire airsoft BBs at about 150 foot ranges.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually risen significantly in recent years. The initial gen guns were a little bit questionable and undependable, however the latest versions have most of the issues resolved and make efficient airsoft secondary weapons. They can be further upgraded with increased magazine capacities along with accommodating more powerful batteries.
A massive advantage of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the power to rewire the adapters to use a larger battery. Depending on the AEG pistol design, you can get a substantial output in functionality by employing a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as an alternative for the stock battery.
What Airsoft Handgun is Right for Me?
Picking out the best airsoft sidearm for you depends upon how much you can afford, how much you desire to play airsoft with it, and where you decide to play. Consider a GBB green gas pistol or AEG pistol if you have over one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft pistol. These kinds of guns are normally the top-tier guns, have the greatest performance, and can be an excellent airsoft gun to invest in. If you have around more than fifty but less than one-hundred dollars to spend, check out a CO2 pistol or more affordable GBB pistol. Middle of the road guns like these will still finish the job and are sturdy sidearms. Look for a cheaper CO2 or spring pistol if you have $50 or less. You can still buy a dependable airsoft pistol to use for the handgun airsoft guns.
