How to Pick an Airsoft Pistol
Learn about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as secondary guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. A lot of airsoft handguns are fully certified releases of their authentic handgun counterparts and function and look in the same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of genuine bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft sidearms including CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun pistols. Each of these kinds of handguns has positives and negatives related to them. Finding out about the styles of airsoft pistols allows you to choose which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
About CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most resilient and typical varieties of pistols. They are all-season, all-weather weapons and function well in a lot of types of varying temperatures, weather and environments. These pistols use pressurized CO2 gas to push airsoft BBs down the pistol barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas and is generally housed in the handgun’s magazine.
These styles of airsoft pistols are good for playing in cold temperatures considering that the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less susceptible to performance decreases with low temperatures. This fact provides very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for example where other sorts of handguns like green gas cease to work or barely fire airsoft BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look similar to a metal cylinder and contain high-pressure CO2 gas comprised of a single carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms hence the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, however as soon as they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft weapon breaks the cartridge seal) they will start 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 pistol target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime if the cylinders are stored sealed. They have the manufacturer’s best used by date normally marked on the package or cylinder, however, they will likely survive for a long time past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 pistols, but they use green gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The impact on the battleground and green gas weapon performance is almost the same as CO2 handguns with the weapons at about 300+ FPS.
The green gas is kept in the pistol’s mag which can frequently hold around 15 to 20+ BBs depending upon the gun model. A sequence of valves, rubberized stoppers, and seals keep the green gas stored in the magazine up to when the pistol’s trigger is squeezed. It is a good choice to top off and refill the green gas reserves in the magazine each time you load it into the handgun. Pistol-wielding airsoft players can also carry excess bottles of green gas or propane in the field for refilling mags between breaks in the fight or in-between gameplay.
When playing with a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field or arena as a main or backup gun, bringing additional magazines is highly recommended for quickly reloading and engaging the op force. Having additional magazines on-hand allows you to re engage in the action in the course of firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas handguns are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields considering that rifles and full-sized AEGs are usually not permitted to be used for indoor engagements. This is a safety regulation due to the close quarters distance of gamers during the shooting engagements. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel assists to keep the joules and energy pushing the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and other 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 pistols. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Because the green gas or propane gas is stored in the magazine by rubber o-rings, seals, and silicone gaskets, cold weather can negatively affect these gaskets and allow the stored gas to leak out prior to shooting. The decrease in pressure can make the airsoft BBs to just shoot a number of feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the gun would normally shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temps).
One option to fix this problem is to keep the GBB handgun mags warmer by positioning them next to a heat source or by your body just before the airsoft game play. This can help to warm the rubber gaskets and better seal in the green gas. If you honestly want to play with a trustworthy airsoft handgun in the cold, it may also be better to get a CO2 variation of your preferred pistol. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and the gun will shoot far better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft guns are powered by powerful coil springs that propel the BBs out of the gun barrel. The manual actions of cocking, shooting, and reloading spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns.
Spring airsoft guns work the best in springer battles where opponents can only use related, single shot spring weapons or as a transitional weapon for CQB environments when you can usually surprise other airsoft game players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a quick second follow-up shot is not required given that the other player is already hit by the first BB and out of the game play or heading back to respawn. When engaging numerous opponents since the weapon simply fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Handgun Effectiveness
Spring pistols are remarkably efficient under the proper conditions during games. Their FPS often chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12g airsoft BBs. These weapons usually fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs since the coiled springs are less powerful than other kinds of airsoft guns like rifles. Spring handguns can normally engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to hit targets accurately decreases rapidly. Choosing basic 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a reduced shooting distance of around 60 to 80 feet with enhanced accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearm Facts
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to bring into the field as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are often powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s handle. They function similar to an AEG rifle and use compressed air pumped through electrically cycled cylinders and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol mags usually carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can launch airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has grown substantially in recent years. The earliest generation guns were a bit unreliable and sketchy, but the new models have the issues resolved and make reliable airsoft secondary weapons. They can be further upgraded with maximized magazine storage capacities together with accommodating larger batteries.
A substantial perk of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the opportunity to rewire the wires to use an enhanced battery. Depending on the AEG handgun version, you may be able to gain a substantial output in efficiency by utilizing a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as an alternative to the stock mini battery. Beware of adjusting the components and the gun’s wires since you have to consider the volts, mAh, and loads of the batteries. Ask an expert airsoft gun service technician at your nearest airsoft shop if you have customization concerns.
Which Airsoft Handgun is Best for Me to Play with?
If you have more than one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft pistol, check out a GBB handgun or automatic electric handgun. If you have in-between $50 to $100 to spend, look at a good quality CO2 pistol or cheaper GBB handgun. You can still play with a resilient airsoft pistol by checking out lower end pistols and by trading with players selling used airsoft pistols if you need to save money.
