How to Choose an Airsoft Handgun
Learn more about airsoft guns like pistols and how you can use them as backup guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the best sidearm and practicing with it can make a big difference in aiming your shots. Pistols, by nature, are short range airsoft guns. They are quite often produced after real handguns or look-alikes of actual pistols. A large number of airsoft pistols are fully licensed adaptations of their actual gun equivalents. These airsoft guns can visually look and function in the same ways identical to the real guns they are modeled around while shooting airsoft BBs in place of genuine bullets.
There are several types of airsoft pistols consisting of CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these kinds of handguns come with negatives and positives associated with them. Learning about the types of airsoft sidearms lets you figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft guns are one of the most sturdy and typical types of sidearms. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to move airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel.
These styles of airsoft pistols are good for playing airsoft in cold and snowy weather conditions since the compressed CO2 gas is less vulnerable to performance variations by low temperatures. This fact gives CO2 airsoft handguns good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the wintertime for example where other kinds of airsoft sidearms like green gas stop functioning or hardly shoot BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look like a metal cylinder and store high pressured CO2 gas made up of 1 carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, so the molecular formula comes out to be “C + O2 “. These atoms are connected in the following order “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cartridges under really high pressure of close to ~ 800psi that translates to 55bar.
The CO2 cartridges are not reusable and you can typically purchase them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely within, once they are punctured (firing them inside of an airsoft pistol breaks the seal) the cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are not used up. You must attempt to deplete 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 chance to do some handgun accuracy and target practice and expend the remaining additional gas. There is no gas level indicator on the cartridge so you have to shoot up until the weapon stops shooting airsoft BBs.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime if the cylinders are stored sealed. They do have the maker’s expiry date typically noted on the package or cartridge cylinder, however, they will likely last for a long period past this date if the cartridge seal is not broken.
Information About Green Gas Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 pistols, however they use green gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The impact on the battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is almost the very same as CO2 pistols with the weapons at around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is kept in the handgun’s mag and can frequently hold around 15 to 20+ 6mm BBs depending on the handgun style. A sequence of valves, rubberized gaskets, and seals keep the gas pressurized in the mag till the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a great choice to refill and top off your green gas supply in your pistol mag each time you load it into the gun. Pistol-wielding players can additionally take additional bottles of green gas or propane in the field for refilling between lulls in the fight or between missions.
When playing with a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a main or secondary gun, bringing additional mags is suggested for rapidly reloading. Having extra magazines allows you to join in the action throughout firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas handguns are excellent for CQB at airsoft fields considering long guns and full-sized AEGs are typically not approved to be used during indoor engagements. This is a safety guideline because of the close quarters proximity of airsoft players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas handguns can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel assists to keep the joules and energy shooting the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various styles of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Since the green gas or propane gas is stored in the handgun magazine by rubber o-rings, seals, and silicone gaskets, cold weather can impact these seals and cause the stored gas to escape prior to shooting the pistol. The lack of pressure can make the airsoft BBs to simply land a number of feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the handgun would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temperatures).
One solution to this issue is to make the GBB handgun magazines warmer by putting them next to your body or near a heat source prior to game play starts. If you absolutely desire to play with a reputable airsoft pistol in the cold, it might additionally be worth getting a CO2 version of your preferred handgun.
Info on Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that fire the airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel. They are generally one shot only. The manual functions of reloading, cocking, and firing spring airsoft guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols. This makes spring airsoft pistols entertaining to use, but they are usually less effective when encountering attackers on the airsoft field with upgraded airsoft guns like fully auto airsoft AEG rifles and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols.
Spring airsoft guns perform best in springer wars where participants can solely use related, single shot spring handguns or as a close quarters backup weapon for CQB settings when you can frequently sneak up to other airsoft players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a fast second followup shot is not needed given that the other person is now hit by the airsoft BB and out of the game play or going back to respawn. When engaging many different airsoft players given that the spring gun just shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be cautious.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring handguns are considerably useful under the right conditions during games. Their FPS typically chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs. These weapons typically fire lighter weight airsoft BBs since the springs are less powerful than other types of airsoft weapons. Spring pistols can typically be accurate at up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to hit targets accurately reduces quickly. Using basic 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a decreased range of around 60 to 80 feet with heightened target accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to use as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s handle. They operate just like an AEG rifle and use pressured air forced through electrically cycled pistons and gearboxes to shoot airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG pistol magazines normally can carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs right up to around 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS when loaded with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electrically powered 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 rounds) and the battery holds out that long. These handguns can precisely fire airsoft BBs at about 150 foot distances.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has actually risen significantly over the last few years. The initial gens were a bit questionable and undependable, however the newer designs have most of the deficiencies worked out and make effective airsoft backup weapons. They can be modified with increased mag capacities and also accommodating more powerful batteries.
A large benefit of using an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the battery connectors to use a more substantial battery. Depending on the AEG handgun style, you can get a huge increase in functionality by employing a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock mini battery.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me to Play with?
If you have more than one-hundred dollars to use to buy your airsoft handgun, evaluate a GBB pistol or AEG handgun. If you have around fifty to one-hundred dollars to buy a gun, look at a CO2 handgun or cheaper GBB pistol. If you are on a budget, you can still get a durable airsoft handgun to use for the pistol games.
