How to Pick an Airsoft Handgun
Find information about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as backup weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Numerous airsoft handguns are fully accredited releases of their actual weapon equivalents and look and run in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than authentic bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns consisting of CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these forms of handguns come with negatives and positives associated with them. Learning about the styles of airsoft sidearms lets you figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most common and heavy duty types of pistols. These handguns use CO2 stored in small cylinders to send airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel.
These kinds of airsoft weapons are great choices for playing in cold weather conditions given that the compressed CO2 gas is less vulnerable to variation with temperature levels. This fact provides good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the wintertime for instance where other kinds of airsoft guns like green gas stuffer from low performance or barely fire BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges resemble a chrome metal cylinder and store high pressure CO2 gas composed of just one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms, so the molecular formula comes out to be “C + O2 “. These atoms are bonded in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is stored in the 12 gram cartridge cylinders under extremely high pressure of approximately ~ 800psi that correlates to 55bar.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely within, however when they are opened (firing them in an airsoft weapon 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 opportunity to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the remaining gas.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if they are stored sealed. They are made with the supplier’s expiry date usually marked on the box or cartridge cylinder, however, they can maintain pressure for a very long period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not punctured.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft pistols are similar to CO2 handguns, however they use propane gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The result on the battleground and green gas weapon efficiency is almost the very same as CO2 pistols with the guns at about 300+ FPS.
The propane gas is held in the handgun’s magazine that can normally hold around 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the handgun model. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas pressurized in the magazine till the pistol’s trigger is pulled.
When using a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a secondary or main weapon, extra pistol mags are recommended for rapidly reloading and engaging opponents. Having additional mags helps you reengage in the action in the course of firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas handguns are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are usually not authorized to be used during indoor shooting. This is a safety guideline due to the close range distance of players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas handguns can still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy pushing the BB lower compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different varieties of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
Since the green gas or propane is housed in the pistol mag using rubber seals and silicone gaskets, cold temps can impact these gaskets and cause the stored gas to escape prior to shooting the handgun. This can make the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a number of feet away (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the green gas handgun would normally shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather conditions).
One solution to this problem is to make the GBB handgun mags warmer by putting them near your body prior to game play. This can help to warm the seals and help to seal in the green gas. It can also be worth getting a CO2 variation of your favorite pistol if you truly prefer to play with a trustworthy airsoft handgun in the cold. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and the gun will shoot better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Facts About Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by powerful springs that fire the airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel. They are normally able to only shoot one BB at a time. The manual functions of reloading, cocking, and firing spring handguns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns. This makes spring airsoft guns interesting to use, however they are less useful when shooting at other airsoft players on the airsoft field with advanced guns like auto airsoft AEG rifles, SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2 or GBB airsoft pistols.
Spring guns perform the best in springer wars where opponents can solely use similar, single shot spring handguns or as a transition weapon for CQB environments when you can usually sneak up to other airsoft players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a fast 2nd followup shot is not really needed considering that the other player is now hit by the first shot and out of the gameplay or headed back to respawn. Be careful when attacking a number of enemies since the spring gun just fires as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Handgun Efficiency
Spring guns are very efficient under the proper game conditions. Spring handguns can typically shoot accurately up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12 gram BBs but precision decreases quickly.
Info on AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to bring as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s handle. They function just like an AEG gun and use compressed air pumped through electrically cycled cylinders, pistons, and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG pistol magazines normally can carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can launch airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually increased substantially in the last few years. The earliest gens were a little bit questionable and undependable, but the latest models have most of the problems worked out and make efficient airsoft backup weapons. They can be further modded with enhanced mag storage capacities along with accommodating more powerful batteries.
A substantial advantage of using an AEG handgun is that you have the ability to rewire the battery connectors to use a bigger battery. Depending on the AEG handgun model, you can gain a substantial output in functionality by employing a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) rather than the stock AEP battery.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me to Buy?
If you have more than one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft pistol, check out a green gas blowback pistol or automatic electric pistol. If you have in-between $50 to $100 to shell out, look at a CO2 pistol or cheaper GBB handgun. If your gun budget is lower, you can still get a durable airsoft pistol to use for the handgun games by checking out lower end pistols and by trading with players on the used gun market.
