How to Pick an Airsoft Pistol
Find info about airsoft guns like pistols and how you can use them as backup weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your shot accuracy and getting the ideal handgun can make all the difference in hitting your shots. Sidearms, naturally, are much shorter range airsoft guns. They are frequently constructed after real sidearms or miniatures of real handguns. Quite a few airsoft pistols are fully certified versions of their actual gun equivalents. These airsoft guns can visually appear and function (without shooting bullets) in the same ways almost identically to the real guns they are designed after while blasting airsoft BBs as opposed to real-world bullets.
There are several types of airsoft sidearms such as CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these styles of sidearms has positives and negatives related to them. Learning more about the varieties of airsoft sidearms lets you choose which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Handgun Details
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most common and dependable types of sidearms. These pistols use CO2 stored in small cylinders to move airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel.
These forms of airsoft weapons are good choices for airsoft games in cold and snowy weather because the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less vulnerable to performance variations caused by temperature levels. This offers very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the wintertime for instance where other styles of guns like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly shoot pellets.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look like a metal cylinder and contain high pressured CO2 gas composed of just one carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms hence the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The CO2 gas cylinders are not refillable and you can usually buy them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to retain the CO2 gas safely inside, but once they are punctured (firing them inside of an airsoft gun breaks the cartridge seal) they will start to lose pressure if they are not used up. You need to try to burn up the whole CO2 cartridge the very same day you open the seal. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some handgun target practice and burn up the rest of the excess gas. There is no gas level gauge on the cartridge so you need to shoot until the handgun stops cycling.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They are made with a supplier’s use by date typically listed on the box or cylinder, however they will likely stay pressurized for a very long period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not broken.
Info About Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft handguns function similarly to CO2 guns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Alternatively, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to shoot 6mm airsoft BBs. The effect on the battlefield and green gas handgun performance is almost the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to 300+ feet-per-second (FPS). Shots are efficiently fired in automatic or semi-automatic shooting modes and can accurately hit targets at shorter to mid-range distances.
The green gas is stored in the pistol’s magazine which can often hold in-between 15 to 20+ BBs based on the pistol model. A series of valves, rubberized stoppers, and seals keep the propane sealed in the pistol magazine up to when the pistol’s trigger is squeezed. It is a great choice to top off and fill up your green gas supply in the magazine each time you load it into the handgun. Pistol-wielding gamers can also bring surplus bottles of propane in the field for refilling magazines between lulls in the war or between game play.
When playing with a green gas pistol on the airsoft field as a secondary or main weapon, additional magazines are suggested for rapidly reloading and engaging the op force. Having extra mags on-hand helps you re-engage in the action during firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas handguns are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles and full-sized AEGs are typically not allowed to be used for indoor shooting. This is an essential safety guideline because of the close range proximity of airsoft players during shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas pistols still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy shooting the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various kinds of green gas airsoft pistols. 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” with every shot. Every time a new airsoft BB is chambered, the gas triggers the slide to cycle. The result is very cool, however the GBB guns usually cost more and possibly have more to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns have a fixed slide which does not move. The non-blowback handguns usually cost less than GBBs. Performance is around the same when comparing the two varieties of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas normally can be used extremely well, it does have limits. When they are used over the winter playing in the snow or in cold weather conditions (such as below 32 deg F). Considering that the green gas or propane is kept in the magazine by rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, low temperatures can impact these seals and trigger the stored gas to leak out before firing the pistol. The depressurized gas can cause the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when it would normally shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temps).
One option to fix this issue is to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by positioning them close to your body before airsoft game play. This can help to warm the rubber seals and help to seal in the green gas. If you really prefer to play with a dependable airsoft handgun in the cold, it might also be better to get a CO2 version of your favorite pistol. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and these guns shoot far better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
About Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by powerful springs that launch the BBs out of the handgun’s barrel. The manual functioning of reloading, shooting, and cocking spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB airsoft guns.
Spring guns work the best in springer wars where game players can solely use comparable, single shot spring handguns or as a close quarters weapon for CQB buildings when you can often quietly sneak up on other airsoft participants to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a fast 2nd follow-up shot is not required given that the other player is now hit by the first BB and out of the gameplay or going back to respawn. When engaging several foes since the weapon just shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be careful.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring guns are quite efficient under the appropriate conditions during airsoft games. Their FPS often chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12g airsoft BBs. These guns normally fire lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the springs are less powerful than other types of airsoft weapons. Spring guns can normally be accurate at up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to hit targets reduces rapidly. Using standard 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a decreased shooting distance of about 60 to 80 feet with improved target accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistol Info
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to bring into the field as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s butt. They work just like an AEG rifle and use pressurized air pumped through electrically cycled pistons and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG handgun magazines 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 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has actually grown significantly in the last few years. The initial generations were a little bit unreliable and sketchy, but the new models have the bugs worked out and make reliable airsoft backup weapons. They can be further modified with increased magazine storage capacities as well as accommodating bigger batteries.
A big perk of using an AEG handgun is that you have the ability to rewire the wires to use an enhanced battery with higher mAh. Depending on the AEG handgun style, you can gain a sizable jump in performance by utilizing a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) rather than the standard mini battery. Take care of modifying the elements and the gun’s wires since you need to consider the voltages, mAh, and electrical loads of the batteries. Ask a qualified airsoft gun tech at your nearest airsoft shop if you have customization questions.
Which Airsoft Handgun is Best for Me?
Looking for the best airsoft handgun for you depends upon how much you can afford, how much you would like to play airsoft using it, and where you plan to play. Look at a green gas blowback handgun or automatic electric AEP pistol if you have over $100 to spend on your airsoft handgun. These guns are typically the top-tier guns, have the greatest build qualities, and are usually a good airsoft gun to invest in. If you have between more than fifty but less than one-hundred dollars to spend, look at a CO2 handgun or a less expensive GBB pistol. Mid-tier guns like these will still be fun to play with and can be tough sidearms. If you have less than $50, consider a cheap CO2 or springer pistol. You can still get a long lasting airsoft handgun to use for the handgun airsoft guns.
