How to Choose an Airsoft Pistol
Find out about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as backup weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the best handgun and practicing with it can make a big difference in nailing your shots. Handguns, naturally, are reduced range airsoft weapons. They are generally manufactured after firearm sidearms or reproductions of legitimate handguns. Many airsoft handguns are completely licensed adaptations of their authentic gun equivalents. These airsoft guns can function (without shooting bullets) in the same ways and appear identically to the real guns they are modeled around while firing airsoft BBs rather than real-world bullets.
There are a number of types of airsoft sidearms consisting of CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun pistols. Each of these varieties of handguns has negatives and positives associated with them. Learning more about the styles of airsoft sidearms helps you choose which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Sidearm Details
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most popular and sturdy types of handguns. These handguns use CO2 stored in small cylinders to propel airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel.
These styles of airsoft handguns are excellent for playing in cold weather conditions considering that the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less sensitive to performance variations by low temperature. This fact gives CO2 airsoft handguns exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for example where other styles of airsoft pistols like green gas cease to function or barely fire BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look like a metal cylinder and store high-pressure CO2 gas consisting of 1 carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms, for this reason the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are connected in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cylinders under really high pressure of roughly ~ 800psi which translates to 55bar.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, however as soon as they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft gun breaks the seal) they will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the chance to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They have the maker’s best used by date typically noted on the package or cartridge cylinder, however, they will likely survive for a long period past this date if the cartridge seals are not broken.
Info About Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft pistols are similar to CO2 pistols, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Instead, they use green gas or propane for propellant to propel the airsoft BBs. The outcome on gameplay and green gas pistol functionality is virtually the same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to 300+ feet-per-second (FPS). Shots are rapidly fired in automatic or semi-automatic shooting modes and precisely hit targets at shorter to mid-range distances.
The green gas is sealed in the pistol’s mag and can typically hold between 15 to 20+ 6mm airsoft BBs depending upon the handgun design. A set of valves, rubber stoppers, and o-rings keep the green gas sealed in the mag up to when the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a good habit to top off and fill up your green gas in the mag each time you load it into the handgun. Pistol-wielding players can also take extra bottles of green gas or propane in the field for reloading between breaks in the war or in-between games.
When using a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a secondary or primary weapon, extra handgun magazines are recommended for quickly reloading and engaging the op force. Having extra magazines on-hand helps you re engage in the action in the middle of firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles and full-sized AEGs are usually not permitted to be used for indoor engagements. This is an essential safety rule due to the close quarters distance of airsoft players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas pistols can still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy shooting the BB lower compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different kinds of green gas airsoft pistols. First, there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These handguns work like a legitimate handgun with the pistol slide “blowing back” with every shot. The propane induces the slide to cycle every time a new airsoft BB is chambered. This cycling is really cool, however the guns typically cost more and possibly have more that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns use a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback pistols usually cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same between the two varieties of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane gas is stored in the magazine using rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold temps can impact these o-rings and cause the stored gas to escape prior to shooting the gun. This can make the airsoft BBs to only shoot a number of feet away (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the pistol would typically shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temperatures).
One solution to this issue is to try to keep the GBB pistol magazines warmer by placing them near your body prior to airsoft game play. This can help to heat up the seals and help to seal in the green gas. If you honestly prefer to play with a dependable airsoft handgun in the cold, it might also be better to check out a CO2 variation of your favorite pistol. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and the gun will shoot far better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Info on Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong springs that send the BBs out of the gun barrel. The manual functioning of reloading, shooting, and cocking spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols.
Spring guns perform most effectively in springer battles where participants can solely use similar, single shot spring pistols or as a close quarters combat backup gun for CQB environments when you can usually surprise other airsoft players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a quick second followup shot will not be called for considering that the other player is now struck and out of the game play or going back to respawn. When engaging several adversaries because the spring airsoft gun simply shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring guns are remarkably efficient under the most ideal conditions during airsoft games. Their FPS often chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These handguns usually fire lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the springs are less powerful than other styles of airsoft guns like rifles. Spring guns can usually shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but the ability to engage targets is reduced rapidly. Using basic 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a reduced shooting distance of around 60 to 80 feet or less with enhanced precision.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to use as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s butt. They function much like an AEG rifle and use compressed air pumped through electrically cycled cylinders and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol magazines generally can hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs right up to about 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS when loaded with 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electrical gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute which is estimated if you have enough spare magazines to reload the gun and the battery maintains its charge that long. These pistols can precisely fire airsoft BBs at around 150 foot ranges.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has risen substantially in recent years. The initial gen AEP guns were a bit sketchy and undependable, but the new designs have the bugs worked out and make reliable airsoft secondary weapons. They can be modded with increased magazine storage capacities as well as accommodating more powerful batteries.
A big perk of using an AEG handgun is that you have the ability to rewire the wires to use a more robust battery with longer life. Depending upon the AEG pistol style, you can get a large jump in performance utilizing a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as opposed to the standard battery. Beware of changing the elements and the gun’s wires since you must take into account the volts, mAh, and loads of the batteries. If you have customization questions, ask a qualified airsoft gun service technician at your local airsoft shop or store.
Which Airsoft Handgun is Best for Me?
If you have more than one-hundred dollars to use to buy your airsoft handgun, check out a green gas blowback pistol or AEG pistol. If you have between fifty to one-hundred dollars to spend, look at a CO2 handgun or more affordable GBB handgun. If your gun budget is lower, you can still look for a durable airsoft handgun to use for the handgun games by checking out lower end pistols and by trading with players on the used gun market.
