How to Pick an Airsoft Pistol
Find information about airsoft handguns and sidearms and how you can use them as secondary guns or as core weapons on the airsoft playing field. A large number of airsoft pistols are completely manufacturer licensed models of their actual firearm counterparts and function and appear in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than real bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols such as CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these styles of sidearms come with negatives and positives associated with them. Finding out about the types of airsoft pistols lets you figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most standard and sturdy types of pistols. These handguns use sealed CO2 gas cylinders to propel airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel.
These types of airsoft pistols are great for airsoft games in cold and snowy temperatures since the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less sensitive to variation caused by low temperature. This fact gives CO2 airsoft guns exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the wintertime for example where other varieties of airsoft sidearms like green gas cease to operate or barely shoot airsoft BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look like a metal cylinder and contain high-pressure CO2 gas consisting of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, as a result of the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are bonded in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cartridge cylinders under really high pressure of approximately ~ 800psi which correlates to 55bar.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely inside, but when they are opened (firing them inside of an airsoft handgun breaks the seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the excess gas.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if the cylinders are kept sealed. They have a manufacturer’s expiry date usually marked on the box or cartridge cylinder, but they can survive for a long period past this date if the cartridge seal is not broken.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft pistols resemble CO2 guns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Rather, they use green gas or propane for propellant to propel the airsoft pellets. The result on the airsoft battlefield and green gas pistol operation is essentially the same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to about 300+ feet per second. Shots are quickly fired in semi-automatic or automatic firing modes and precisely hit targets at short to mid-range distances.
The propane gas is held in the handgun’s airsoft mag that can typically hold in-between 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the handgun design. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and silicone seals keep the gas stored in the magazine before the pistol’s trigger is pulled.
When running a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field or arena as a main or backup weapon, bringing extra mags is highly recommended for rapidly reloading. Having extra magazines allows you to re engage in the action throughout firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields considering rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are usually not enabled to be used for indoor engagements. This is an essential safety standard due to the close range distance of airsoft players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas handguns still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel helps to keep the joules and energy pushing the BB at a lower level compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various forms of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These handguns run like a realistic handgun with the slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. When a fresh airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber, the gas triggers the slide to cycle. The result is very cool, but the handguns usually cost more and potentially have more parts to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a fixed slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback pistols typically cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same between the two styles of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
While green gas usually functions extremely well on the airsoft field, it does have drawbacks. When green gas and GBB guns are used in the winter playing in the snow or in cold temps (like under 32 deg F). Given that the green gas or propane gas is held in the mag by rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, the cold can impact the seals and allow the stored gas to escape before firing the handgun. The decrease in pressure can make the airsoft BBs to just shoot several feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the pistol would normally shoot BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer weather conditions).
One fix for this problem is to make the GBB handgun mags warmer by positioning them next to a heater or by your body before airsoft game play. This can help to warm the rubber seals and help to seal in the green gas. It might also be worth buying a CO2 variation of your preferred handgun if you actually want to play with a reputable airsoft pistol in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and perform better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that fire the BBs down the handgun barrel. They are usually able to only shoot one BB. The manual functioning of cocking, shooting, and reloading spring guns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols. When dealing with adversaries on the airsoft field with upgraded weapons, automatic airsoft AEG SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft handguns, this can make spring guns entertaining to use, however less efficient.
Spring sidearms and guns work the best in springer wars where players can only use similar, single shot spring handguns or as a transition weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can usually surprise other airsoft participants to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a rapid 2nd followup shot isn’t required due to the fact that the other person is now hit by the first shot and out of the game or going back to respawn. When engaging several rivals because the spring gun just fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring guns are very reliable under the most ideal scenarios. Their FPS typically chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These pistols normally fire lighter weight airsoft BBs since the pitched springs are less powerful than other styles of airsoft weapons. Spring guns can usually engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to hit targets diminishes quickly. Choosing standard 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a decreased range of about 60 to 80 feet with heightened accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearm Facts
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to bring as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s grip. They operate similar to an AEG gun and use pressured air forced through electrically cycled cylinders and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol mags typically carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can launch airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has actually grown significantly over the last few years. The early generation AEP guns were a little bit questionable and undependable, but the new versions have the problems worked out and make effective airsoft secondary guns. They can be modded with enhanced magazine storage capacities and also accommodating larger batteries.
A huge benefit of using an AEG pistol is that you have the capability to rewire the battery connections to use a larger capacity battery. Depending on the AEG pistol design, you can gain a huge jump in efficiency by employing a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) rather than the stock AEP battery.
Which Airsoft Handgun is Right for Me to Play with?
Choosing the most ideal airsoft sidearm for you depends upon your budget, how often you wish to play airsoft with it, and where you plan to play. If you can use more than $100 to spend on your airsoft pistol, consider a green gas handgun or AEG handgun. These are usually the top of the line, have the best performance, and could be an excellent airsoft gun to invest in. Look into a CO2 pistol or more affordable green gas GBB handgun if you have in-between more than $50 but less than $100 to buy a gun. Mid-tier guns like these will still do the job and will be long lasting sidearms. If you have $50 or less, research a cheap CO2 or springer pistol. You can still buy a well-built airsoft handgun to use for the handgun airsoft guns.
