How to Choose an Airsoft Handgun
Learn about airsoft guns like pistols and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the best sidearm and practicing with it can make an impact in improving your shots. Pistols, naturally, are much shorter range airsoft guns. They are normally fashioned after genuine pistols or copies of authentic pistols. A lot of airsoft pistols are completely certified editions of their genuine pistol counterparts. These airsoft guns can handle in the same ways and look similarly to the real guns they are designed around while shooting airsoft BBs rather than authentic bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns consisting of CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric sidearms. Each of these forms of pistols has benefits and differences related to them. Learning more about the styles of airsoft handguns allows you to decide which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft handguns are among the most tough and standard styles of pistols. They are all weather weapons and function well in lots of types of weather conditions and climates. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to shoot airsoft BBs down the gun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within the cylinder and is usually housed in the handgun’s mag inside the handle.
These styles of airsoft pistols are good for airsoft games in colder weather due to the fact that the high pressure CO2 gas is less susceptible to FPS decreases by low temperatures. This provides exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for instance where other types of airsoft guns like green gas stuffer from low performance or barely shoot pellets.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look like a chrome cylinder and store high pressure CO2 gas made up of just one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The CO2 cartridges cannot be used multiple times and you can usually order them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to retain the CO2 gas safely within, but when they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft pistol breaks the seal) the cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. You must try to burn up the whole CO2 cartridge the same day you open the seal. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some pistol target practice and consume the rest of the extra gas. There is no gas level gauge on the cartridge so you need to shoot until the pistol stops shooting airsoft BBs.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They are made with the manufacturer’s expiry date usually listed on the box or cylinder, however, they can stay pressurized for a very long period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not punctured.
Green Gas Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 pistols, but they use green gas or propane instead of CO2 cartridges. The result on the battleground and green gas weapon performance is practically the exact same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to 300+ FPS.
The green gas is stored in the handgun’s grip within the magazine which can commonly hold around 15 to 20+ 6mm BBs based on the gun design. A series of valves, silicone gaskets, and seals keep the propane pressurized in the magazine up until the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a great plan to refill and top off the green gas reserves in your mag each time you load it into the gun. Pistol-wielding gamers can also take extra bottles of green gas or propane in the field for reloading between breaks in the fight or in-between games.
When using a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or backup weapon, extra pistol mags are advised for rapidly reloading. Having extra mags on-hand helps you join in the action throughout firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas pistols are excellent for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are generally not allowed to be used for indoor gameplay. This is a safety guideline because of the close range distance of airsoft players during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas handguns can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy propelling the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different kinds of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas generally can be used very well on the airsoft field, it does have limits. When green gas and GBB guns are used over the winter playing in the snow or in colder temps (such as under 32 deg F). Because the green gas or propane is kept in the weapon’s magazine by silicone seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold weather can negatively affect these seals and trigger the stored gas to leak out prior to shooting airsoft BBs. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to only shoot several feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when it would normally shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer temps).
One strategy to this problem is to make the GBB pistol magazines warmer by holding them next to your body or near a heat source prior to the airsoft game play starts. If you truly want to play with a trustworthy airsoft pistol in the cold weather, it may also be worth getting a CO2 version of your preferred pistol.
Spring Airsoft Handgun Details
Spring airsoft guns are powered by powerful springs that shoot the BBs out of the pistol barrel. The manual functioning of firing, cocking, and reloading spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB guns.
Spring pistols work the best in springer battles where opponents can exclusively use comparable, single shot spring guns or as a transition weapon for CQB settings when you can usually sneak up to other airsoft opponents to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a fast 2nd follow-up shot isn’t needed given that the other opponent is already struck and out of the game play or running back to respawn. Take care when attacking a number of adversaries because the spring gun just shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring pistols are very useful under the most ideal circumstances. Spring pistols can typically shoot accurately up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12 gram BBs however precision reduces rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistol Facts
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to carry as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s butt. They operate just like an AEG rifle and use compressed air forced through electrically cycled gearboxes, pistons, and cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG handgun mags usually can hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has actually grown significantly in the last few years. The early generation AEP guns were a bit questionable and unreliable, however the more recent versions have most of the bugs worked out and make reliable airsoft secondary weapons. They can be further modified with maximized magazine storage capacities in addition to accommodating larger batteries.
A huge advantage of using an AEG pistol is that you have the capability to rewire the battery connections to use a larger battery. Depending on the AEG handgun type, you can get a sizable jump in functionality by using a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock AEP battery.
What Airsoft Handgun is Right for Me?
Deciding on the most ideal airsoft sidearm for you depends on how much you can afford, how often you wish to play airsoft with it, and where you plan to play. Look into a GBB handgun or AEP pistol if you have more than $100 to invest on your airsoft handgun. These are normally the best of the best, have good performance, and could be a pretty good airsoft gun to invest in. Look into a CO2 pistol or cheaper GBB pistol if you have in-between more than $50 but less than $100 to spend. These guns will still do the job and can be tough sidearms. If you have $50 or less, consider a cheap CO2 or springer handgun. You can still buy a resilient airsoft pistol to use for the handgun airsoft guns.
