How to Pick an Airsoft Pistol
Find information about airsoft pistols and how you can use them as backup weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your shot accuracy and getting the right handgun can make a big difference in nailing your shots. Handguns, naturally, are diminished range airsoft guns. They are normally manufactured after real guns or imitations of real pistols. Many different airsoft pistols are fully licensed adaptations of their actual firearm equivalents. These airsoft guns can visually appear and handle in the same ways similarly to the real guns they are designed around while blasting airsoft BBs instead of real-world bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns including CO2, green gas (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 more about the types of airsoft sidearms helps you make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft guns are one of the most standard and heavy duty types of pistols. These handguns use CO2 stored in small cylinders to propel airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel.
These kinds of airsoft pistols are good for playing airsoft in cold weather since the pressurized CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less susceptible to performance decreases caused by low temperature. This fact provides exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the wintertime for instance where other kinds of airsoft pistols like green gas cease to work or hardly fire BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look like a metal cylinder and store high pressured CO2 gas composed of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, subsequently 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 cylinders under extremely high pressure of roughly ~ 800psi which translates to 55bar.
The CO2 gas cylinders cannot be used multiple times and you can commonly buy them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to retain the CO2 gas securely inside, but when they are opened (firing them in an airsoft handgun breaks the seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are not used up. You must attempt to burn up the whole CO2 cartridge the same day you open the seal. Use the opportunity to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas if the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level gauge on the cartridge so you have to shoot up until the handgun stops firing BBs.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while if they are stored sealed. They are made with a maker’s expiry date usually listed on the box or cartridge cylinder, however, they will probably stay pressurized for a long period past this date if the cartridge seals are not punctured.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Pistol Details
Green gas airsoft pistols are similar to CO2 handguns, however they use propane gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The result on the battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is almost the very same as CO2 handguns with the weapons shooting up to 300+ FPS.
The propane gas is held in the handgun’s airsoft magazine which can often hold around 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the handgun model. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and seals keep the gas stored in the magazine before the pistol’s trigger is pulled.
When bringing a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or backup gun, extra magazines are encouraged for rapidly reloading and engaging opponents. Having extra magazines on-hand allows you to get back in the action in the middle of firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas handguns are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields since long guns and full-sized AEGs are typically not enabled to be used during indoor gameplay. This is an essential safety guideline due to the close quarters distance of gamers during shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas handguns can still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy launching the BB at a lower level compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various types of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane gas is held in the magazine using rubber seals and silicone gaskets, cold temps can negatively affect these o-rings and allow the gas to leak out before shooting the handgun. This can cause the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a number of feet away (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the handgun would normally shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather conditions).
One fix to this problem is to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by holding them next to your body or near a heat source before the airsoft game play starts. If you truly need to play with a trustworthy airsoft handgun in the cold weather, it might also be worth getting a CO2 version of your preferred handgun.
Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by powerful springs with irregular pitches that fire the airsoft BBs down the pistol barrel. They are generally able to only shoot one BB at a time. The manual action of shooting, reloading, and cocking spring pistols makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols. This makes spring guns enjoyable to use, yet they can be less useful when shooting at players on the airsoft field with upgraded airsoft guns, auto airsoft AEG rifles, sniper rifles, and CO2 or GBB airsoft handguns.
Spring pistols perform most effectively in springer wars where game players can exclusively use related, single shot spring handguns or as a close quarters combat backup gun for CQB buildings when you can often quietly sneak up on other airsoft opponents to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a quick second followup shot is not called for due to the fact that the other person is already hit by the first shot and out of the game play or heading back to respawn. Be careful when attacking multiple players considering the gun just fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring pistols are extremely reliable under the proper circumstances. Their FPS generally chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These handguns generally fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs since the pitched springs are less powerful than other styles of airsoft weapons. Spring guns can generally engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but the ability to engage targets decreases rapidly. Using basic 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a reduced shooting distance of around 60 to 80 feet or less with improved target accuracy.
Details About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also an option to carry as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s butt. They function just like an AEG SMG and use pressurized air forced through electrically cycled pistons and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG pistol magazines usually can carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs approximately around 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or about 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electric battery powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute assuming you have enough spare magazines to maintain the ammo supply and the battery maintains its charge that long. These pistols can precisely shoot airsoft BBs at around 150 foot distances.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually increased substantially in recent years. The early gen guns were a bit unreliable and sketchy, however the new designs have the deficiencies resolved and make efficient airsoft secondary guns. They can be further upgraded with increased mag capacities and by accommodating larger batteries.
A big perk of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the opportunity to rewire the connectors to use an enhanced capacity battery with higher mAh. Depending upon the AEG pistol version, you may be able to get a big jump in performance and fire rate by utilizing a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as a replacement for the standard battery. Take extra precautions when adjusting the components and wires since you should take into consideration the volts, mAh, and electrical loads of the batteries. Ask a qualified weapon technician at your closest airsoft shop if you have customization problems.
What Airsoft Handgun is Best for Me?
Finding the most ideal airsoft handgun for you depends on your budget, how often you would like to play airsoft using it, and where you plan to play. Look at a GBB pistol or automatic electric AEP handgun if you have over $100 to invest on your airsoft pistol. These kinds of guns are normally the top of the line, have good build qualities, and could be a good investment. If you have around $50 to $100 to devote to your airsoft gun purchase, take a look at a CO2 pistol or less expensive GBB pistol. Mid-tier guns like these will still function well and are durable sidearms. Look for a lower end CO2 or spring handgun if you have less than $50. You can still buy a heavy-duty airsoft pistol to use for the handgun games.
