How to Choose an Airsoft Pistol
Find information about airsoft pistols and sidearms 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 releases of their authentic handgun counterparts and operate and appear in the same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of genuine bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns consisting of CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these types of sidearms come with negatives and positives associated with them. Learning about the styles of airsoft handguns allows you to choose which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most typical and long lasting types of sidearms. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to propel airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel.
These styles of airsoft weapons are very good for airsoft games in cold and snowy temperatures because the pressurized CO2 gas is less susceptible to FPS decreases with low temperatures. This gives CO2 airsoft guns good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for instance where other types of guns like green gas stuffer from low performance or barely fire pellets.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look similar to a chrome metal cylinder and hold high pressured CO2 gas composed of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, as a result the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are bound in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cartridges under really high pressure of roughly ~ 800psi that correlates to 55bar.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely within, but the moment they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft gun breaks the seal) they will begin 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 extra gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime. They come with a maker’s best used by date typically noted on the box or cartridge, however they can last for an extended period past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Details About Green Gas Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 handguns, however they use green gas or propane instead of CO2 cartridges. The effect on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon performance is practically the exact same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to 300+ FPS.
The propane gas is held in the pistol’s magazine that can often hold around 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the handgun model. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and seals keep the gas pressurized in the magazine before the pistol’s trigger is squeezed.
When playing with a green gas pistol on the airsoft field as a backup or main weapon, extra pistol mags are strongly recommended for rapidly reloading and engaging the op force. Having additional magazines helps you join in the action in the middle of firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas handguns are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles and full-sized AEGs are usually not allowed to be used during indoor shooting. This is a safety rule because of the close range proximity of airsoft players during the shooting engagements. While green gas handguns still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel assists to keep the joules and energy propelling the BB at a lower level compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different styles of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These guns function like an actual pistol with the gun’s slide “blowing back” with every shot. Every time a new airsoft BB is chambered, the gas causes the slide to cycle. This functioning while shooting is really cool, but the guns often are more expensive and potentially have more which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback handguns usually cost less than GBBs. Performance is around the same between the two types of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
Because the green gas or propane gas is kept in the handgun mag by using rubber seals and gaskets, cold weather can impact these gaskets and allow the stored gas to leak out before shooting the pistol. The decrease in pressure can make the airsoft BBs to just land a number of feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the handgun would typically shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temps).
One solution to this issue is to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by putting them next to your body before game play. If you absolutely desire to play with a trustworthy airsoft pistol in the cold weather, it may additionally be worth getting a CO2 variation of your preferred handgun.
Spring Airsoft Handgun Information
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by powerful coil springs that send the BBs out of the pistol barrel. The manual functioning of shooting, reloading, and cocking spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns.
Spring sidearms and guns work best in springer wars where airsoft players can just use similar, single shot spring handguns or as a transition backup gun for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can frequently surprise other airsoft participants to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a rapid second followup shot isn’t needed since the other opponent is already struck and out of the game play or headed back to respawn. Be careful when fighting multiple enemies since the spring gun only fires as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring pistols are really effective under the correct circumstances. Spring guns can typically shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs however target accuracy decreases rapidly.
Facts About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to bring as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s grip. They work similar to an AEG SMG and use compressed air with electrically cycled cylinders, pistons, and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol magazines generally carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs right up to 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 assuming you have enough magazines to maintain the ammo supply and the battery lasts that long. These pistols can efficiently shoot airsoft BBs at around 150 foot ranges.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has increased substantially recently. The first gen guns were a little bit questionable and unreliable, however the latest designs have the bugs resolved and make effective airsoft backup guns. They can be modified with maximized magazine storage capacities along with accommodating bigger batteries.
A big benefit of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the adapters to use a bigger battery. Depending on the AEG handgun style, you can get a substantial increase in performance by taking advantage of a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) rather than the stock AEP battery.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me?
Picking the most ideal airsoft sidearm for you depends upon how much you can afford to spend, how often you intend to play airsoft with it, and where you decide to play. If you can use more than $100 to invest in your airsoft pistol, look at a green gas pistol or AEG handgun. These are usually the best of the best, have the most effective build qualities, and could be a great sidearm to purchase. Consider a CO2 handgun or less expensive green gas GBB handgun if you have around more than $50 but less than $100 to buy a gun. Mid-tier guns like these will still get the job done and can be sturdy sidearms. If you have less than $50, shop for a low end CO2 or spring pistol. You can still find a durable airsoft handgun to use for the pistol games.
