How to Pick an Airsoft Handgun
Learn about airsoft handguns and sidearms and how you can use them as extra weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Many airsoft pistols are fully approved and licensed models of their genuine weapon equivalents and look and operate in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than actual bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols consisting of CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these kinds of pistols has positives and negatives associated with them. Learning about the kinds of airsoft handguns allows you to decide which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft sidearms are among the most common and dependable types of handguns. They are all-season pistols and work well in a lot of kinds of weather, temperatures, and environments. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to propel airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within the cylinder and is usually held in the pistol’s magazine.
These forms of airsoft guns are good for airsoft games in cold temperatures due to the fact that the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less prone to performance variations by temperature. This offers good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the wintertime for instance where other styles of airsoft pistols like green gas cease to function or hardly fire pellets.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a shiny cylinder and hold high-pressure CO2 gas made up of just one carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms hence the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely inside, but once they are opened (firing them in an airsoft pistol breaks the cartridge seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the chance to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime if the cylinders are kept sealed. They have a supplier’s expiration date usually printed on the box or cartridge cylinder, but they will likely last for a prolonged time past this date if the cartridge seal is not punctured.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft pistols are comparable to CO2 handguns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. The impact on the battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is practically the exact same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to 300+ FPS.
The green gas is stored in the handgun’s mag that can usually hold between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the pistol design. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone seals keep the gas pressurized in the mag up until the handgun’s trigger is pulled.
When running a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a backup or primary weapon, additional handgun mags are recommended for quickly reloading and engaging opponents. Having additional magazines helps you reengage in the action in the course of firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas pistols are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields since long guns and full-sized AEGs are usually not permitted to be used for indoor gameplay. This is an essential safety regulation because of the close quarters distance of 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 shorter pistol barrel assists to keep the joules and energy pushing the BB at a lower level compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various types of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs and non-blowback pistols. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
While green gas normally can be used extremely well, it does have constraints. When they are used over the winter playing in the snow or in colder temperatures (like under 32 degrees F). Since the green gas or propane is kept in the mag using rubber seals and gaskets, cold weather can affect the seals and make the stored gas to escape before shooting airsoft BBs. The decrease in pressure can make the airsoft BBs to merely shoot several feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when it would normally shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather).
One solution to this issue is to keep the GBB handgun magazines warmer by placing them next to your body prior to game play starts. If you truly desire to play with a dependable airsoft handgun in the cold weather, it may also be worth getting a CO2 style of your favorite handgun.
Info on Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft guns are powered by powerful springs with irregular pitches that fire the BBs down the pistol barrel. They are typically one shot. The manual action of reloading, firing, and cocking spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols. This makes them entertaining to use, yet they can be less successful when taking on attackers on the airsoft field with advanced weaponry like auto airsoft AEG rifles, sniper rifles, and CO2 or GBB airsoft pistols.
Spring pistols perform the best in springer battles where opponents can just use related, single shot spring handguns or as an alternative backup gun for CQB settings when you can usually quietly sneak up on other airsoft opponents to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a quick second followup shot isn’t needed due to the fact that the other opponent is now hit and out of the game play or headed back to respawn. When engaging a number of opponents since the spring gun simply fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Handgun Effectiveness
Spring pistols are extremely effective under the best game circumstances. Their FPS usually chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These handguns usually fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs because the springs are less effective than other kinds of airsoft weapons. Spring pistols can typically engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but precision reduces quickly. Choosing regular 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a reduced range of around 60 to 80 feet or less with enhanced target accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to use as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s butt. They work much like an AEG gun and use forced air pumped through electrically cycled pistons, cylinders, and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol mags normally carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs as high as about 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or around 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electric gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which depends on if you have enough spare magazines to reload (after every 20 to 30 shots) and the battery lasts that long. These AEP handguns can precisely shoot airsoft BBs at around 150 foot distances.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has increased substantially recently. The early gen guns were a little bit questionable and unreliable, however the new models have most of the issues worked out and make effective airsoft backup guns. They can be improved with increased mag capacities and also accommodating more powerful batteries.
A substantial advantage of using an AEG pistol is that you have the power to rewire the adapters to use a larger capacity battery. Depending on the AEG handgun design, you can gain a large output in performance by using a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as an alternative for the stock mini battery.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me to Buy?
If you have more than one-hundred dollars to use to buy your airsoft pistol, evaluate a green gas blowback pistol or automatic electric pistol. If you have between fifty to one-hundred dollars to upgrade your gun, evaluate a good quality CO2 pistol or more affordable GBB pistol. You can still play with a resilient airsoft handgun by checking out cheaper pistols and by trading with players selling used airsoft handguns if you are looking for a deal.
