How to Pick an Airsoft Handgun
Find information about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as secondary guns or as core weapons on the airsoft playing field. Many airsoft handguns are fully manufactured models of their real weapon equivalents and run and appear in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of actual bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns such as CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these varieties of sidearms come with positives and negatives connected with them. Learning about the styles of airsoft pistols allows you to make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
About CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft guns are one of the most long lasting and typical types of handguns. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to propel airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel.
These styles of airsoft pistols are very good for airsoft games in cooler weather conditions given that the pressurized CO2 gas is less vulnerable to FPS decreases by temperature. This offers great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for example where other sorts of airsoft pistols like green gas cease to operate or barely fire airsoft BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look like a metal cylinder and store high pressured CO2 gas consisting of 1 carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, consequently the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are bound in the following order “O= C =O”. The gas is stored in the 12 gram cylinders under really high pressure of roughly ~ 800psi which converts to 55bar.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, but as soon as they are opened (shooting them inside of 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 opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if they are kept sealed. They are made with a supplier’s expiry date typically noted on the package or cartridge, but they may maintain pressure for an extended time past this date if the cartridge seal is not tampered with.
Green Gas Airsoft Handgun Info
Green gas airsoft pistols are similar to CO2 pistols, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. The impact on the battleground and green gas weapon efficiency is virtually the very same as CO2 pistols with the guns at around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is stored in the handgun’s airsoft magazine which can frequently hold in-between 15 to 20+ BBs based on the pistol type. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and o-rings keep the gas pressurized in the mag before the handgun’s trigger is pulled.
When running a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a primary or secondary gun, extra mags are highly recommended for rapidly reloading and engaging opponents. Having additional magazines on-hand helps you get back in the action in the course of firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are excellent for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles and full-sized AEGs are normally not enabled to be used during indoor gameplay. This is an essential safety regulation due to the close range proximity of gamers during the shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas pistols still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy propelling the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various kinds of green gas airsoft handguns. To start with there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These pistols operate like a legitimate pistol with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” with every shot. The propane induces the slide to cycle every time a brand-new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. The result is very cool, but the guns often are more expensive and likely have more parts that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a fixed slide which does not move. The non-blowback guns usually cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same when comparing the two kinds of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
While green gas normally performs effectively, it does have constraints. For example, when green gas guns are used during the winter airsoft season in the snow or in colder temperatures (like less than 32 degrees F). Considering that the green gas or propane is held in the magazine by silicone seals and gaskets, cold temperatures can negatively affect the seals and trigger the stored gas to leak out prior to firing the pistol. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to just shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the gun would ordinarily shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temperatures).
One solution to this challenge is to keep the GBB handgun mags warmer by positioning them next to a heater or by your body before airsoft game play. This can help to warm the rubber seals and better seal in the green gas. If you definitely prefer to play airsoft with a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold, it may also be better to buy a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and perform better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Handgun Details
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by strong coil springs that propel the BBs out of the pistol barrel. They are normally one shot only. The manual actions of cocking, shooting, and reloading spring guns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns. This makes them interesting to use, but they are usually less practical when encountering challengers on the airsoft field with advanced guns like auto airsoft AEG rifles and CO2 or GBB airsoft pistols.
Spring sidearms and guns perform the best in springer wars where players can solely use similar, single shot spring handguns or as a close quarters combat backup gun for CQB settings when you can often sneak up to other airsoft game players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a quick second followup shot isn’t required given that the other opponent is now hit by the first BB and out of the gameplay or running back to respawn. When engaging numerous rivals since the spring gun just shoots as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be careful.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring pistols are remarkably efficient under the proper game conditions. Their FPS typically chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These handguns normally fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the springs are less effective than other types of airsoft guns like rifles. Spring pistols can normally shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but precision diminishes quickly. Shooting standard 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a reduced range of around 60 to 80 feet with improved precision.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to use as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s butt. They operate much like an AEG rifle and use forced air pumped through electrically cycled pistons, cylinders, and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG pistol mags usually 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 using 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has actually grown significantly over the last few years. The earliest generation guns were a bit questionable and undependable, but the more recent versions have the bugs worked out and make efficient airsoft backup guns. They can be further modded with maximized mag capacities in addition to accommodating bigger batteries.
A large advantage of using an AEG handgun is that you have the opportunity to rewire the battery wires to use a more substantial battery with higher mAh. Depending on the AEG handgun style, you can gain a large output in functionality utilizing a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) in place of the stock mini battery. Beware of tweaking the parts and wires since you need to think about the volts, mAh, and loads of the battery. Ask an expert airsoft tech at your nearest airsoft shop or store if you have customization concerns.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me to Play with?
Picking out the ideal airsoft sidearm for you depends on how much you want to spend, how much you plan to play airsoft using it, and where you decide to play. If you have $100 or more to spend on your airsoft handgun, look at a green gas blowback pistol or AEG pistol. These are normally the top-tier guns, have the best efficiency, and could be a pretty good gun to invest in. Check out a CO2 pistol or cheaper GBB handgun if you have in-between more than fifty but less than one-hundred dollars to buy a gun. These will still work well and are pretty long lasting sidearms. If you have less than fifty dollars, try to find a cheap CO2 or spring pistol. You can still buy a tough airsoft handgun to use for the handgun airsoft guns.
