How to Choose an Airsoft Pistol
Learn more about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your accuracy and getting the right pistol can make an impact in nailing your shots. Handguns, naturally, are short range airsoft guns. They are often made after actual sidearms or replications of genuine pistols. Many airsoft handguns are fully certified models of their real handgun counterparts. These airsoft guns can appear and function (except for shooting bullets) in the same ways identical to the real guns they are modeled around while blasting airsoft BBs as opposed to real-world bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft sidearms including CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric sidearms. Each of these kinds of pistols has negatives and positives associated with them. Learning more about the types of airsoft handguns lets you decide which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most popular and long lasting varieties of pistols. They are all weather handguns working well in a lot of types of weather, extreme temperatures, and climates. These handguns use pressurized CO2 gas to launch airsoft BBs down the gun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within a cylinder and is usually kept in the pistol’s handle.
These kinds of airsoft weapons are great for playing airsoft in colder weather conditions considering that the pressurized CO2 gas is less sensitive to performance decreases caused by temperature levels. This gives CO2 airsoft sidearms great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter season for example where other types of sidearms like green gas stuffer from low performance or barely fire BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look like a metal cylinder and store high-pressure CO2 gas consisting of 1 carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms, subsequently the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are bonded in the following order “O= C =O”. The gas is held in the 12 gram cartridge cylinders under very high pressure of roughly ~ 800psi that translates to 55bar.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely within, however soon after they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft weapon 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 chance 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 come with a maker’s expiration date typically noted on the package or cylinder, however they may stay pressurized for a long period past this date if the cartridge seals are not broken.
Green Gas Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 pistols, however they use green gas or propane instead of CO2 cartridges. The impact on the battleground and green gas weapon performance is practically the very same as CO2 handguns with the weapons around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is stored in the pistol’s airsoft magazine which can usually hold around 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending on the pistol design. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas pressurized in the magazine before the handgun’s trigger is pulled.
When bringing a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a secondary or main weapon, bringing extra mags is encouraged for quickly reloading. Having additional mags on-hand helps you join in the action throughout firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas handguns are excellent for CQB at airsoft fields since long guns and full-sized AEGs are normally not permitted to be used for indoor game play. This is a safety guideline because of the close range distance of gamers during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas handguns can still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel helps to keep the joules and energy moving the BB at a lower level compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
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 handguns or GBBs where the slide moves 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 gas is stored in the pistol mag by rubber seals and gaskets, cold temperatures can influence these o-rings and cause the stored gas to escape prior to shooting the pistol. The lack of pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to simply shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the gun would typically shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temps).
One option to this problem is to keep the GBB handgun magazines warmer by positioning them next to your body before game play. If you truly desire to play with a reputable airsoft pistol in the cold weather, it might also be worth getting a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun.
Spring Airsoft Pistol Details
Spring airsoft guns are powered by powerful coil springs that launch the BBs out of the handgun’s barrel. The manual functions of firing, cocking, and reloading spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB airsoft guns.
Spring handguns perform most effectively in springer wars where game players can exclusively use similar, single shot spring guns or as a transitional backup gun for CQB buildings when you can frequently quietly sneak up on other airsoft players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a rapid second follow-up shot will not be required because the other opponent is now hit and out of the gameplay or going back to respawn. When engaging many different players considering that the spring gun only fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be careful.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring handguns are considerably effective under the best conditions. Their FPS commonly chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12g airsoft BBs. These pistols normally fire lighter weight airsoft BBs because the springs are less effective than other types of airsoft guns like rifles. Spring guns can generally engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs however the ability to hit targets accurately reduces quickly. Choosing normal 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a decreased range of around 60 to 80 feet or less with enhanced target 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 handguns are often powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s handle. They work similar to an AEG gun and use pressurized air forced through electrically cycled pistons, gearboxes, and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG handgun magazines generally hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has increased considerably recently. The early generation guns were a bit sketchy and undependable, but the latest designs have most of the issues worked out and make effective airsoft secondary guns. They can be further modified with increased magazine capacities together with accommodating larger batteries.
A substantial benefit of buying an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the battery connectors to use an enhanced battery with higher mAh. Depending on the AEG handgun style, you may be able to gain a substantial output in performance utilizing a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as opposed to the stock AEP battery. Be careful with tweaking the components and wires because you have to take into consideration the voltages, mAh, and loads of the battery. If you have customization questions, ask an experienced airsoft gun service tech at your local airsoft shop.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me?
If you have over one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft pistol, take a look at a green gas blowback pistol or AEG pistol. If you have around fifty to one-hundred dollars to spend, evaluate a good quality CO2 handgun or cheaper GBB pistol. You can still look for a durable airsoft pistol by checking out lower end pistols and by trading with other players in the used gun market if you need to save money.
