How to Pick an Airsoft Pistol
Learn about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as extra weapons or as core weapons on the airsoft playing field. A large number of airsoft handguns are fully manufacturer licensed replications of their real weapon equivalents and look and run in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of real bullets.
There are a number of types of airsoft handguns such as CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these styles of pistols have negatives and positives related to them. Learning about the types of airsoft handguns helps you make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
About CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most long lasting and popular types of handguns. These handguns use CO2 stored in small cylinders to launch airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel.
These kinds of airsoft weapons are very good for airsoft games in colder temperatures since the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less prone to FPS decreases caused by low temperatures. This fact offers good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for example where other kinds of airsoft sidearms like green gas stop functioning or hardly fire pellets.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by typical 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a shiny metallic cylinder and contain high pressured CO2 gas made up of one carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The CO2 gas cartridge cylinders are not reusable and you can normally purchase them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to preserve the CO2 gas securely inside, but the moment they are opened (firing them in an airsoft gun breaks the cartridge seal) cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. You must try to dissipate the entire CO2 cartridge the very same day you open the seal. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas leftover, use the opportunity to do some handgun target practice and consume the rest of the extra gas. There is no gas level sign on the cartridge so you have to shoot up until the weapon stops shooting.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while if the cylinders are kept sealed. They do have a maker’s expiration date typically listed on the box or cartridge, however, they will likely last for a prolonged time past this date if the cartridge seals are not broken.
Details About Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft handguns function similarly to CO2 handguns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Alternatively, they use green gas or propane for propellant to fire the airsoft BBs. The outcome on gameplay and green gas handgun performance is practically the same as CO2 handguns with the weapons shooting up to about 300+ feet per second (FPS). Shots are quickly fired in semi-automatic or automatic shooting modes and can hit targets at shorter to mid-range distances.
The green gas is held in the handgun’s mag and can often hold in-between 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the gun style. A set of valves, rubber gaskets, and seals keep the green gas sealed in the pistol magazine up to the point the handgun’s trigger is pulled. It is a good habit to top off and refill the propane supply in your magazine each time you load it into the handgun. Pistol-wielding airsoft players can additionally bring excess bottles of green gas in the field for refilling between breaks in the battle or between activities.
When running a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a backup or main gun, additional handgun mags are recommended for rapidly reloading and getting back into the game. Having extra magazines on-hand helps you join in the action during firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas handguns are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields considering rifles and full-sized AEGs are generally not permitted to be used for indoor game play. This is a safety regulation due to the close quarters distance of gamers during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas pistols still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy launching the BB lower compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different types of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These handguns operate like an actual pistol with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. The propane gas causes the slide to cycle each time when a brand-new airsoft BB is chambered. This functioning while shooting is very cool, but the GBB guns typically cost more and potentially have more parts to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a stationary slide which does not move. The non-blowback handguns normally cost less than GBBs. Performance is around the same when comparing the two types of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane gas is kept in the handgun mag by rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold temps can impact these o-rings and cause the stored gas to escape prior to shooting the handgun. The lack of pressure can make the airsoft BBs to only shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the handgun would typically shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather conditions).
One fix for this issue is to keep the GBB handgun mags warmer by placing them next to a heater or by your body before airsoft game play. This can help to warm the seals and help to seal in the green gas. It might also be worth checking out a CO2 variation of your preferred handgun if you actually want to play airsoft with a reliable airsoft pistol in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and the gun will shoot better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
About Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong springs that shoot the BBs out of the pistol’s barrel. The manual actions of firing, reloading, and cocking spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB guns.
Spring pistols work the best in springer wars where players can solely use related, single shot spring guns or as a transition weapon for CQB environments when you can often sneak up to other airsoft participants to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a quick 2nd followup shot is not called for since the other opponent is already hit by the airsoft BB and out of the gameplay or going back to respawn. When engaging multiple players given that the spring gun simply shoots as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be careful.
About Spring Handgun Efficiency
Spring handguns are incredibly reliable under the appropriate scenarios. Spring guns can generally fire up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12g BBs however the ability to hit targets decreases quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely an option to carry as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are often powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s grip. They function just like an AEG gun and use pressured air forced through electrically cycled gearboxes, pistons, and cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG pistol magazines generally hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs as high as around 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or about 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electric battery powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute which is estimated if you have enough spare mags to maintain the ammo supply and the battery lasts that long. These AEP pistols can effectively shoot airsoft BBs at about 150 foot distances.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has actually risen substantially recently. The early generations were a bit questionable and undependable, but the latest versions have the problems resolved and make reliable airsoft backup guns. They can be upgraded with increased mag capacities along with accommodating larger batteries.
A substantial advantage of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the battery connections to use a bigger battery. Depending on the AEG pistol model, you can get a big increase in efficiency by taking advantage of a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock battery.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me to Play with?
Finding the most ideal airsoft pistol for you depends on how much you can afford, how much you would like to play airsoft with it, and where you hope to play. Check out a GBB green gas handgun or automatic electric AEP handgun if you have over $100 to spend on your airsoft handgun. These kinds of handguns are normally the top of the line, have the very best build qualities, and could be an excellent airsoft gun to invest in. If you can afford in-between more than $50 but less than $100 to spend, have a look at a CO2 handgun or less expensive GBB handgun. These mid-tier guns will still work well and will be pretty sturdy sidearms. Look for a cheap CO2 or spring handgun if you have less than fifty dollars. You can still get a resilient airsoft handgun to use for the handgun airsoft guns.
