How to Pick an Airsoft Pistol
Find out about airsoft sidearms and handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the ideal sidearm and practicing with it can make all the difference in aiming your shots. Handguns, by nature, are diminished range airsoft guns. They are typically made after actual pistols or reproductions of real pistols. Numerous airsoft pistols are fully licensed adaptations of their authentic gun counterparts. These airsoft guns can run in the same ways and visually appear almost identically to the real guns they are designed around while shooting airsoft BBs in place of real bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns such as CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these types of pistols has negatives and positives connected with them. Learning about the styles of airsoft handguns lets you make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Handgun Details
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most long-lasting and standard styles of handguns. They are all season, all weather guns and function well in lots of types of weather, extreme temperatures, and climates. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to shoot airsoft BBs down the handgun barrel. The CO2 cartridge is generally stored in the handgun’s magazine inside the handle.
These kinds of airsoft weapons are great choices for airsoft games in cold weather considering that the compressed CO2 gas is less sensitive to performance decreases caused by low temperature. This gives CO2 airsoft handguns exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for example where other sorts of guns like green gas stop operating or barely fire pellets.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look like a shiny metallic cylinder and store high-pressure CO2 gas made up of 1 carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, but once they are opened (firing them in an airsoft pistol breaks the cartridge 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.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while. They are made with the manufacturer’s best used by date typically marked on the box or cartridge, however, they can survive for a prolonged period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not broken.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Pistol Info
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 pistols, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Rather, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to fire 6mm airsoft BBs. The effect on gameplay and green gas handgun functionality is almost the same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to 300+ feet per second (FPS). Shots are rapidly fired in fully-automatic or semi-automatic shooting modes and precisely hit targets at shorter to mid-range ranges.
The green gas is stored in the handgun’s mag which can often hold around 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending upon the pistol design. A bunch of valves, rubberized stoppers, and seals keep the propane gas stored in the mag up to the point the handgun’s trigger is squeezed. It is a good habit to refill and top off your green gas supply in your pistol mag each time you load it into the pistol. Pistol-wielding players can even carry extra bottles of green gas or propane in the field for refilling mags between breaks in the battle or between activities.
When bringing a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or secondary weapon, bringing additional mags is highly recommended for quickly reloading and engaging the op force. Having additional mags helps you re engage in the action in the middle of firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas handguns are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles and full-sized AEGs are typically not approved to be used for indoor shooting. This is an essential safety standard because of the close range distance of airsoft players during the shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy moving the BB lower compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different sorts of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback handguns. 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 is held in the mag by using rubber seals, o-rings, and silicone gaskets, cold temps can negatively impact these gaskets and allow the gas to leak out prior to shooting the pistol. This lack of pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to just land a couple of feet away (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when the handgun would normally shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather conditions).
One fix to this problem is to make the GBB pistol magazines warmer by placing them next to your body or near a heat source just before the airsoft game play. If you absolutely desire to play with a reputable airsoft handgun in the cold, it might also be worth getting a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun.
Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong coil springs that launch the BBs down the handgun barrel. They are normally able to only shoot one BB at a time. The manual functions of reloading, shooting, and cocking spring pistols makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns. This makes spring airsoft pistols entertaining to use, yet they can be less efficient when going up against foes on the airsoft field with upgraded weapons, fully automatic airsoft AEG assault rifles and CO2 or GBB airsoft pistols.
Spring pistols work most effectively in springer wars where airsoft players can solely use comparable, single shot spring weapons or as a close quarters combat backup weapon for CQB buildings when you can often quietly sneak up on other airsoft players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a rapid second followup shot isn’t called for since the other person is already hit and out of the game play or heading back to respawn. When engaging a number of airsoft players considering that the springer only shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be careful.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring pistols are quite effective under the right game conditions. Their FPS typically chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12g airsoft BBs. These guns usually fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs since the coiled springs are less powerful than other kinds of airsoft guns like SMGs. Spring pistols can usually be accurate at up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however the ability to engage targets accurately is reduced rapidly. Shooting normal 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a reduced range of around 60 to 80 feet with heightened target accuracy.
Details About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also an option to carry as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s handle. They operate much like an AEG rifle and use pressured air forced through electrically cycled cylinders, pistons, and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very rapidly at that.
AEG handgun mags normally can hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can launch airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has risen significantly in the last few years. The first generation AEP guns were a bit questionable and unreliable, however the newer versions have the deficiencies worked out and make effective airsoft backup guns. They can be further modded with maximized magazine storage capacities and by accommodating bigger batteries.
A huge benefit of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the power to rewire the battery connectors to use a larger battery. Depending on the AEG pistol model, you can get a large output in efficiency by adopting a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) instead of the stock mini battery.
What Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me?
If you have over one-hundred dollars to use to buy your airsoft handgun, check out a green gas blowback handgun or automatic electric handgun. If you have in-between $50 to $100 to buy a gun, evaluate a CO2 handgun or less expensive GBB handgun. If you have fifty dollars or less, you can still choose a durable airsoft handgun to use for the handgun games.
