How to Choose an Airsoft Pistol
Learn about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as secondary weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. A large number of airsoft handguns are fully manufactured and licensed releases of their real gun counterparts and function and appear in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of authentic bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols such as CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these varieties of pistols come with negatives and positives related to them. Learning more about the varieties of airsoft handguns lets you decide which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Sidearm Details
CO2 airsoft guns are one of the most popular and heavy-duty types of pistols. These handguns use pressurized CO2 gas to force airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel.
These styles of airsoft handguns are great choices for airsoft games in cold weather considering that the pressurized CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less susceptible to performance decreases with temperature levels. This fact provides excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter season for instance where other kinds of airsoft guns like green gas cease to operate or hardly shoot airsoft BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges resemble a chrome cylinder and contain high pressured CO2 gas consisting of 1 carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms hence the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The CO2 cartridges cannot be used multiple times and you can commonly buy them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely and securely inside, once they are opened (firing them in an airsoft gun breaks the seal) the cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are not expended. You should attempt to run through the entire CO2 cartridge the very same day you open the seal. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some handgun target practice and consume the remainder of the excess gas. There is no gas level gauge on the cartridge so you have to shoot up until the weapon stops cycling.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while. They come with a manufacturer’s best used by date typically listed on the box or cartridge, however they will stay pressurized for a very long period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not punctured.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 handguns, but they use propane gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The impact on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon performance is almost the exact same as CO2 pistols with the guns at around 300+ FPS.
The propane is stashed in the handgun’s magazine that can typically hold in-between 15 to 20+ BBs based on the handgun design. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and o-rings keep the gas pressurized in the magazine up until the pistol’s trigger is squeezed.
When using a green gas pistol on the airsoft field as a backup or primary gun, bringing additional handgun magazines is highly recommended for quickly reloading and engaging the op force. Having additional magazines on-hand helps you get back in the action in the middle of firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas pistols are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields given that long guns and full-sized AEGs are normally not allowed to be used during indoor game play. This is an essential safety guideline because of the close quarters distance of gamers during shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas pistols can still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel assists to keep the joules and energy shooting the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various styles of green gas airsoft pistols. First there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These guns operate like a legitimate pistol with the gun’s slide “blowing back” with every shot. The gas triggers the slide to cycle every time a new airsoft BB is chambered. The result is very cool, however the GBB guns usually are more expensive and possibly have more that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a stationary slide which does not move. The non-blowback pistols normally cost less than GBBs. Performance is around the same when comparing the two types of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Because the green gas or propane is kept in the pistol mag by using rubber seals, o-rings, and silicone gaskets, the cold can affect these seals and allow the gas to leak out prior to shooting the handgun. This lack of pressure can make the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a number of feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when it would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temps).
One fix for this issue is to keep the GBB handgun mags warmer by positioning them next to your body just before the airsoft game play. This can help to warm up the seals and help to seal in the green gas. It may also be worth buying a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun if you actually prefer to play airsoft with a reliable airsoft pistol in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and perform much better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by powerful springs with irregular pitches that launch the BBs out of the gun barrel. The manual actions of reloading, firing, and cocking spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns.
Spring handguns perform most effectively in springer wars where opponents can exclusively use related, single shot spring weapons or as a close quarters combat backup weapon for CQB environments when you can frequently sneak up to other airsoft game players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a quick 2nd followup shot isn’t needed since the other opponent is now hit and out of the gameplay or running back to respawn. Beware when attacking several enemies due to the fact that the spring weapon just fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring handguns are extremely effective under the ideal situations. Spring pistols can generally shoot up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12 gram BBs however accuracy decreases rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistol Info
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also an option to bring into the field as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s grip. They function similar to an AEG rifle and use forced air pumped through electrically cycled pistons and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG handgun mags usually carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can launch airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has actually grown considerably in the last few years. The first generation AEP guns were a bit unreliable and sketchy, but the newer models have the issues resolved and make reliable airsoft secondary guns. They can be further modified with maximized magazine storage capacities and also accommodating bigger batteries.
A significant benefit of using an AEG handgun is that you have the ability to rewire the battery connections to use a larger capacity battery. Depending on the AEG pistol model, you can get a big jump in performance by adopting a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock battery.
What Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me to Play with?
If you have over one-hundred dollars to use to buy your airsoft handgun, check out a green gas blowback pistol or automatic electric handgun. If you have in-between fifty to one-hundred dollars to buy a gun, look at a good quality CO2 handgun or less expensive GBB handgun. You can still find a durable airsoft handgun by checking out lower end pistols and by trading with players selling used airsoft guns if you need to save money.
