How to Choose an Airsoft Handgun
Find information about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the ideal handgun and practicing with it can make all the difference in improving your shots. Sidearms, by nature, are diminished range airsoft guns. They are quite often produced after authentic sidearms or replicas of genuine pistols. A lot of airsoft pistols are fully certified editions of their real gun counterparts. These airsoft guns can visually look and function (sans shooting bullets) in the same ways identically to the real guns they are designed after while shooting airsoft BBs as opposed to actual bullets.
There are a few varieties of airsoft handguns such as CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these varieties of handguns has positives and negatives related to them. Learning about the styles of airsoft sidearms helps you decide which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
About CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft guns are one of the most common and sturdy types of pistols. These handguns use sealed CO2 gas cylinders to launch airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel.
These forms of airsoft weapons are exceptional for airsoft games in cooler weather considering that the pressurized CO2 gas is less vulnerable to FPS decreases with temperature. This provides excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for example where other kinds of sidearms like green gas cease to function or hardly fire BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look similar to a chrome cylinder and hold high-pressure CO2 gas composed of a single carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms hence the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely within, but soon after they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft weapon breaks the cartridge seal) they will begin 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 handgun target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They do have a manufacturer’s expiration date typically marked on the box or cylinder, but they will likely maintain pressure for a long time past this date if the cartridge seal is not broken.
Info About Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft pistols are similar to CO2 guns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Alternatively, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to propel the airsoft BBs. The outcome on the battlefield and green gas pistol operation is essentially the same as CO2 handguns with the weapons shooting up to 300+ feet per second (FPS). Shots are quickly fired in fully-automatic or semi-automatic firing modes and precisely hit targets at very short to mid-range proximities.
The green gas is housed in the pistol’s magazine which can often hold between 15 to 20+ 6mm airsoft BBs based on the gun style. A bunch of valves, rubberized gaskets, and seals keep the propane stored in the magazine until the handgun’s trigger is pulled. It is a great plan to top off and refill your propane reserves in the magazine each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding players can also take surplus bottles of propane in the field for reloading between breaks in the battle or between gameplay.
When carrying a green gas pistol on the airsoft field as a backup or main weapon, bringing additional handgun magazines is strongly recommended for quickly reloading and getting back into the game. Having additional magazines on-hand allows you to join in the action in the course of firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are excellent for CQB at airsoft fields given that long guns and full-sized AEGs are typically not authorized to be used for indoor game play. This is an essential safety rule because of the close quarters proximity of airsoft players during the 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 aids to keep the joules and energy launching the BB lower compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different varieties of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas typically can be used extremely well, it does have drawbacks. For example, when they are used throughout the winter in the snow or in cold weather (like lower 32 degrees F). Considering that the green gas or propane is kept in the weapon’s mag using rubber seals and gaskets, low temperatures can negatively affect these seals and make the stored gas to escape prior to shooting. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the pistol would typically shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather conditions).
One strategy to this problem is to keep the GBB handgun mags warmer by positioning them next to your body or by a heater before the airsoft game play starts. If you absolutely need to play with a dependable airsoft pistol in the cold, it may also be worth getting a CO2 style of your favorite pistol.
Facts About Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by powerful coil springs that send the BBs out of the gun’s barrel. The manual functioning of shooting, cocking, and reloading spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns.
Spring guns perform most effectively in springer battles where airsoft players can exclusively use related, single shot spring guns or as an alternative backup gun for CQB buildings when you can often sneak up to other airsoft players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a fast second followup shot will not be required considering that the other player is already hit by the airsoft BB and out of the game or heading back to respawn. Take care when engaging numerous foes due to the fact that the gun just shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Handgun Effectiveness
Spring pistols are very effective under the appropriate scenarios. Spring guns like pistols can normally fire up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12g BBs but precision decreases quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearm Details
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely an option to carry as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s butt. They operate similar to an AEG rifle and use pressurized air forced through electrically cycled pistons, cylinders, and gearboxes to shoot airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol mags generally carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or around 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electrical gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute which is estimated if you have enough magazines to reload (after every 20 to 30 shots) and the battery lasts 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 increased substantially recently. The first generation guns were a little bit undependable and questionable, but the latest designs have most of the issues worked out and make effective airsoft secondary guns. They can be further upgraded with increased mag storage capacities in addition to accommodating more powerful batteries.
A big benefit of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the capability to rewire the wires to use a more robust battery with higher mAh. Depending on the AEG pistol version, you can gain a substantial jump in performance and fire rate by using a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) instead of the standard AEP battery. Take extra precautions when customizing the elements and the gun’s wires since you need to take into consideration the volts, mAh, and loads of the batteries. Ask an experienced airsoft gun specialist at your local airsoft shop if you have modding questions.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me to Play with?
Looking for the best airsoft sidearm for you depends upon how much you can afford, how much you desire to play airsoft using it, and where you plan to play. Look into a GBB green gas pistol or AEG handgun if you have over one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft handgun. These are usually the best of the best, have the most effective performance, and could be a really good airsoft gun to invest in. If you can afford between more than $50 but less than $100 to devote to your airsoft gun purchase, look at a CO2 handgun or a 2nd-tier GBB pistol. These guns will still get the job done and will be durable sidearms. Look for a cheaper CO2 or spring pistol if you have less than $50. You can still find a dependable airsoft pistol to use for the handgun games.
