Getting the best pistol and practicing with it can be a game changer in blasting your shots. Sidearms, by nature, are much shorter range airsoft weapons.

These airsoft guns can function in the same ways and visually look almost identically to the real guns they are designed after while blasting airsoft BBs as opposed to actual bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft sidearms such as CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these styles of pistols come with positives and negatives connected with them. Finding out about the types of airsoft pistols allows you to choose which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft pistols are among the most standard and tough kinds of handguns. They are all season, all weather handguns working well in a lot of types of weather, temperatures, and climates. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to move airsoft BBs down the pistol barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within a cylinder and is generally held in the handgun’s magazine inside the handle.
These types of airsoft pistols are exceptional for playing in cold weather due to the fact that the compressed CO2 gas is less vulnerable to variation caused by low temperature. This provides very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for example where other kinds of airsoft handguns like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly shoot airsoft BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look like a metal cylinder and store high pressured CO2 gas consisting of a single carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The CO2 cylinders cannot be refilled and you can usually purchase them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to preserve the CO2 gas safely and securely within, but when they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft weapon breaks the cartridge seal) cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are not expended. You should try to deplete the whole CO2 cartridge the 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 consume the remaining extra gas. There is no gas level indicator on the cartridge so you need to shoot until the weapon stops firing airsoft BBs.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime. They are made with the supplier’s expiry date normally printed on the package or cartridge cylinder, however they will probably survive for a long time past this date if the cartridge seal is not punctured.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Sidearm Information
Green gas airsoft handguns resemble CO2 handguns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. As an alternative, they use green gas or propane for propellant to fire the airsoft pellets. The outcome on airsoft games and green gas weapon effectiveness is practically the same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to 300+ feet-per-second (FPS). Shots are efficiently fired in fully-automatic or semi-automatic firing modes and accurate at very short to mid-range distances.
The green gas is held in the pistol’s magazine which can commonly hold roughly 15 to 20+ BBs based on the gun design. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and o-rings keep the propane housed in the pistol magazine prior to when the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a great choice to top off and fill up the green gas supply in your mag each time you load it into the handgun. Pistol-wielding players can additionally bring excess bottles of green gas or propane in the field for reloading magazines between lulls in the war or between games.
When playing with a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a secondary or primary gun, bringing additional magazines is suggested for rapidly reloading and getting back into the game. Having additional magazines on-hand helps you reengage in the action in the course of firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas handguns are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields given that long guns and full-sized AEGs are typically not enabled to be used for indoor game play. This is an essential safety regulation because of the close quarters distance of players during the shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas pistols still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy shooting the BB lower compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various styles of green gas airsoft pistols. 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 Limits
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane is held in the handgun mag using rubber seals and gaskets, cold weather can negatively affect these seals and cause the stored gas to leak out before shooting the pistol. This lack of pressure can make the airsoft BBs to just shoot a few feet away (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the gun would normally shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather).
One option to this issue is to make the GBB pistol magazines warmer by positioning them next to your body, beside a heater, or inside your jacket prior to game play starts. If you really want to play with a dependable airsoft handgun in the cold weather, it might also be worth getting a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun.
Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by strong coil springs that launch the BBs out of the pistol’s barrel. The manual actions of reloading, shooting, and cocking spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB airsoft guns.
Spring airsoft guns perform best in springer battles where airsoft players can just use similar, single shot spring pistols or as a transitional weapon for CQB settings when you can frequently sneak up to other airsoft participants to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a rapid 2nd followup shot will not be required since the other person is now hit by the first shot and out of the gameplay or running back to respawn. When engaging numerous foes because the weapon simply fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be cautious.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring pistols are quite useful under the most ideal game conditions. Their FPS often chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12g airsoft BBs. These guns generally fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the springs are less powerful than other kinds of airsoft guns like SMGs. Spring handguns can usually be accurate at up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs however the ability to engage targets is reduced rapidly. Choosing regular 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a reduced shooting distance of around 60 to 80 feet or less with increased precision.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to use as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are often powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s handle. They function just like an AEG SMG and use forced air pumped through electrically cycled cylinders and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very quickly at that.
AEG handgun mags typically can hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can launch airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually grown significantly over the last few years. The initial generation AEP guns were a bit unreliable and sketchy, however the more recent designs have most of the bugs resolved and make efficient airsoft backup weapons. They can be further modified with maximized magazine storage capacities as well as accommodating bigger batteries.
A substantial benefit of using an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the battery connectors to use a larger battery. Depending on the AEG pistol model, you can gain a large output in performance by taking advantage of a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock mini battery.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me to Play with?
If you have over $100 to spend on your airsoft handgun, you may want to consider a GBB pistol or automatic electric pistol. If you have around $50 to $100 to buy a gun, evaluate a CO2 handgun or less expensive GBB pistol. If you have less than fifty dollars, you can still find a resilient airsoft handgun to use for the handgun games by checking out lower end pistols and by trading with other players on the used gun market.
