How to Choose an Airsoft Handgun
Find information about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as secondary weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Lots of airsoft handguns are completely manufacturer licensed editions of their authentic gun counterparts and look and run in the same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of authentic bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft sidearms including CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these kinds of sidearms come with negatives and positives connected with them. Learning about the varieties of airsoft sidearms allows you to figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most long-lasting and common kinds of handguns. They are all weather pistols and function well in a lot of types of weather and environments. These sidearms use pressurized CO2 gas to shoot airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel. The CO2 cartridge is usually stored in the gun’s mag inside the handle.
These forms of airsoft pistols are good choices for playing in cold temperatures due to the fact that the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less sensitive to FPS decreases by temperature levels. This offers exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter season for example where other sorts of airsoft handguns like green gas stop operating or barely shoot pellets.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look similar to a chrome cylinder and store high pressure CO2 gas composed of one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The CO2 cartridges cannot be refilled and you can usually purchase them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to retain the CO2 gas securely inside, but once they are opened (firing them in an airsoft gun breaks the seal) the cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. You should attempt to dissipate the entire CO2 cartridge the very same day you open the seal. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas leftover, use the opportunity to do some handgun target practice and burn up the remaining additional gas. There is no gas level sign on the cartridge so you need to shoot up until the weapon stops shooting.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime. They are made with the manufacturer’s expiry date usually noted on the package or cartridge cylinder, but they will survive for an extended time past this date if the cartridge seals are not broken.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Sidearm Facts
Green gas airsoft pistols function similarly to CO2 pistols, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Alternatively, they use green gas or propane for propellant to fire 6mm airsoft pellets. The result on airsoft games and green gas sidearm efficiency is basically the same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to 300+ FPS. Shots are efficiently fired in semi-automatic or automatic firing modes and can hit targets at shorter to mid-range ranges.
The green gas is stashed in the handgun’s mag that can typically hold around 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 till the handgun’s trigger is pulled.
When carrying a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or backup weapon, bringing additional mags is encouraged for rapidly reloading and engaging the op force. Having additional magazines helps you join in the action in the course of firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas pistols are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields considering long guns and full-sized AEGs are usually not authorized to be used during indoor engagements. This is a safety standard due to the close range distance of players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas pistols still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy propelling the BB lower compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different types of green gas airsoft handguns. First, there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These pistols function like an actual pistol with the slide “blowing back” with every shot. Every time a brand-new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber, the gas triggers the slide to cycle. The result is extremely cool, but the guns typically cost more and possibly have more that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a stationary slide which does not move. The non-blowback guns normally cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is around the same when comparing the two types of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas generally works effectively, it does have constraints. For example, when they are played with throughout the winter airsoft season in the snow or in cold weather (like under 32 degrees F). Considering that the green gas or propane is held in the pistol mag by silicone seals and gaskets, cold weather can affect the seals and allow the gas to escape before shooting airsoft BBs. This can make the airsoft BBs to merely shoot several feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the gun would ordinarily shoot BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temperatures).
One fix to this issue is to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by placing them next to your body prior to the airsoft game play. If you absolutely want to play with a reputable airsoft pistol in the cold weather, it may additionally be worth getting a CO2 style of your preferred pistol.
Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by powerful springs with irregular pitches that shoot the BBs out of the handgun barrel. The manual functioning of firing, cocking, and reloading spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB airsoft guns.
Spring airsoft guns perform best in springer battles where game players can solely use related, single shot spring weapons or as a close quarters weapon for CQB buildings when you can frequently sneak up to other airsoft game players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a fast 2nd followup shot will not be required given that the other player is now struck and out of the game play or heading back to respawn. When engaging multiple foes because the gun only fires as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Handgun Effectiveness
Spring handguns are remarkably useful under the ideal conditions during airsoft games. Spring pistols can generally shoot accurately up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but precision reduces rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handgun Facts
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to use as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s grip. They function just like an AEG SMG and use pressurized air forced through electrically cycled cylinders, pistons, and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG pistol magazines normally carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs approximately about 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electric battery powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which is estimated if you have enough magazines to reload the gun and the battery holds out that long. These handguns can accurately shoot airsoft BBs at around 150 foot distances.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has actually increased considerably in recent years. The initial generations were a bit questionable and undependable, however the new versions have most of the bugs resolved and make reliable airsoft backup weapons. They can be further modded with enhanced magazine capacities and also accommodating more powerful batteries.
A big advantage of buying an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the connections to use a more robust battery. Depending on the AEG handgun version, you can gain a big output in efficiency by utilizing a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) instead of the standard mini battery. Beware of modifying the parts and wires because you have to take into account the voltages, mAh, and loads of the battery. If you have customization concerns, ask an expert weapon tech at your local airsoft store or shop.
What Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me?
Choosing the right airsoft handgun for you depends upon how much you can afford, how much you would like to play airsoft with it, and where you decide to play. Look at a GBB green gas pistol or AEG handgun if you have over $100 to invest on your airsoft handgun. These are typically the best of the best, have great build qualities, and could be a good investment. Look into a CO2 pistol or less expensive GBB pistol if you have between more than $50 but less than $100 to invest. These guns will still get the job done and can be pretty tough sidearms. If you have less than fifty dollars, search for a cheaper CO2 or spring pistol. You can still buy a long-lasting airsoft handgun to use for the pistol games.
