How to Pick an Airsoft Handgun
Find info about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the right pistol and practicing with it can make an impact in hitting your shots. Pistols, by nature, are lower range airsoft guns. They are generally constructed after firearm sidearms or models of legitimate pistols. A large number of airsoft handguns are fully licensed adaptations of their actual gun equivalents. These airsoft guns can operate in the same ways and look similarly to the real guns they are modeled around while shooting airsoft BBs rather than authentic bullets.
There are a number of kinds of airsoft sidearms including CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these types of pistols has negatives and positives associated with them. Learning more about the varieties of airsoft sidearms lets you make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft pistols are among the most dependable and typical kinds of pistols. They are all-season, all-weather guns and work well in many types of weather, extreme temperatures, and climates. These handguns use pressurized CO2 gas to launch airsoft BBs down the gun barrel. The CO2 cartridge is normally held in the pistol’s mag inside the handle.
These kinds of airsoft weapons are great choices for playing in cooler temperatures due to the fact that the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less prone to FPS decreases caused by temperature levels. This fact offers great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for example where other varieties of airsoft guns like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly shoot BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges resemble a metal cylinder and hold high-pressure CO2 gas composed of 1 carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The CO2 cylinders cannot be used multiple times and you can usually order them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely within, once they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft gun breaks the cartridge seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. You should try to deplete the entire CO2 cartridge the exact same day you open the seal. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the chance to do some pistol accuracy and target practice and consume the rest of the excess gas. There is no gas level indicator on the cartridge so you have to shoot until the gun stops shooting BBs.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime. They have a supplier’s use by date normally noted on the package or cartridge cylinder, however they may stay pressurized for a very long period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Green Gas Airsoft Handgun Facts
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 guns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Rather, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to shoot 6mm airsoft BBs. The effect on the battlefield and green gas handgun functionality is practically the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to about 300+ feet per second. Shots are efficiently fired in fully-automatic or semi-automatic shooting modes and can accurately hit targets at short to mid-range proximities.
The propane is kept in the handgun’s mag that can frequently hold in-between 15 to 20+ BBs based on the pistol design. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and o-rings keep the gas pressurized in the mag till the pistol’s trigger is pulled.
When carrying a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field or arena as a backup or main weapon, bringing extra pistol mags is highly recommended for quickly reloading and getting back into the game. Having additional mags allows you to re-engage in the action throughout firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas pistols are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields because long guns and full-sized AEGs are generally not allowed to be used during indoor engagements. This is a safety standard due to the close range proximity of airsoft players during shooting engagements. While green gas pistols still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy pushing the BB at a lower level compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different types of green gas airsoft handguns. To start with there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These pistols run like an authentic pistol with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. The propane induces the slide to cycle every time when a fresh airsoft BB is chambered. This cycling is really cool, but the pistols often cost more and possibly have more parts which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a fixed slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback handguns generally cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same between the two types of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Because the green gas or propane is kept in the pistol magazine by rubber seals and gaskets, cold temps can negatively affect these o-rings and allow the gas to escape prior to shooting the handgun. This can cause the airsoft BBs to just shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when the gun would usually shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather).
One option to fix this issue is to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by holding them inside your jacket next to your body before game play. This can help to warm up the seals and better seal in the green gas. It can also be worth getting a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun if you truly need to play airsoft with a reliable airsoft pistol in the cold. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and the gun will shoot much better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Details About Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by powerful coil springs that launch the airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel. They are normally single-shot. The manual functioning of shooting, reloading, and cocking spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols. This makes spring airsoft pistols fun to use, however they are less efficient when taking on adversaries on the airsoft field with upgraded rifles, auto airsoft AEG SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2 or GBB airsoft pistols.
Spring sidearms work most effectively in springer wars where game players can exclusively use similar, single shot spring pistols or as a close quarters backup gun for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can often sneak up to other airsoft game players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a fast second followup shot isn’t required considering that the other opponent is already hit and out of the game or running back to respawn. When engaging numerous players since the gun simply shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be cautious.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring guns are really useful under the appropriate conditions. Spring pistols can usually shoot accurately up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however precision decreases quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handgun Details
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also an option to carry as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are often powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s handle. They operate just like an AEG rifle and use pressured air forced through electrically cycled cylinders and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG pistol magazines normally carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs approximately about 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electrical gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which depends on if you have enough spare mags to maintain the ammo supply and the battery holds out that long. These handguns can efficiently shoot airsoft BBs at around 150 foot ranges.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has grown considerably in the last few years. The first generation AEP guns were a bit sketchy and undependable, however the new versions have the issues resolved and make effective airsoft backup guns. They can be further upgraded with enhanced mag capacities together with accommodating larger batteries.
A significant perk of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the opportunity to rewire the connectors to use a bigger battery with longer life. Depending upon the AEG handgun type, you can gain a big boost in functionality utilizing a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) in place of the standard battery. Take care of adjusting the components and wires since you need to consider the volts, mAh, and electrical loads of the battery. If you have modding concerns, ask a professional airsoft gun service technician at your local airsoft shop.
What Airsoft Handgun is Best for Me?
Deciding on the best airsoft handgun for you depends on your budget, how often you intend to play airsoft using it, and where you plan to play. Consider a green gas blowback handgun or AEP pistol if you have more than $100 to invest on your airsoft handgun. These kinds of guns are typically the top of the line, have the very best build qualities, and can be a great airsoft gun to invest in. If you have in-between more than fifty but less than one-hundred dollars to spend, check out a CO2 pistol or more affordable GBB handgun. Mid-tier guns like these will still be fun to play with and can be sturdy sidearms. If you have less than fifty dollars, consider a lower end CO2 or spring handgun. You can still buy a long lasting airsoft handgun to use for the pistol games.
