How to Pick an Airsoft Pistol
Find information 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 right sidearm and practicing with it can make an impact in nailing your shots. Sidearms, by nature, are reduced range airsoft guns. They are usually developed after real world sidearms or replicas of actual handguns. Lots of airsoft handguns are fully licensed editions of their real world pistol equivalents. These airsoft guns can function (except for shooting bullets) in the same ways and look and feel similarly to the real guns they are modeled after while blasting airsoft BBs rather than real bullets.
There are a few types of airsoft pistols such as CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these styles of pistols has negatives and positives related to them. Finding out about the kinds of airsoft pistols allows you to make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most long lasting and popular varieties of handguns. They are all-weather handguns and function well in a lot of kinds of varying temperatures, weather and climates. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to move airsoft BBs down the pistol barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas and is usually stored in the gun’s magazine in the handle.
These styles of airsoft guns are great for playing airsoft in cold temperatures considering that the pressurized CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less sensitive to FPS decreases by low temperatures. This fact provides great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for example where other varieties of airsoft guns like green gas cease to work or barely shoot BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a chrome metal cylinder and store high pressure CO2 gas consisting of a single carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms, consequently the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are attached in the following order “O= C =O”. The gas is held in the 12 gram cylinders under really high pressure of approximately ~ 800psi which translates to 55bar.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, but soon after they are opened (shooting them in 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 chance to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the excess gas.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while if the cylinders are stored sealed. They have a supplier’s expiration date usually listed on the package or cartridge, but they will last for a long period past this date if the cartridge seal is not tampered with.
Green Gas Airsoft Sidearm Details
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 pistols, but they use green gas or propane instead of CO2 cartridges. The result on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is virtually the very same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to 300+ FPS.
The green gas is stored in the pistol’s magazine and can typically hold between 15 to 20+ 6mm airsoft BBs based on the gun style. A bunch of valves, rubber gaskets, and o-rings keep the gas stored in the pistol magazine prior to when the handgun’s trigger is squeezed. It is a good plan to fill up and top off your green gas reserves in the pistol mag each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding airsoft players can additionally carry additional bottles of green gas in the field for refilling mags in-between lulls in the battle or in-between gameplay.
When playing with a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a main or secondary weapon, extra handgun mags are recommended for quickly reloading and engaging the op force. Having extra mags allows you to get back in the action during firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas handguns are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles and full-sized AEGs are typically not enabled to be used for indoor shooting. This is a safety guideline due to the close quarters distance of players during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas handguns can still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy propelling the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various types of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback pistols. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
While green gas usually can be used very well on the airsoft field, it does have restrictions. This includes when they are used in the winter season in the snow or in cold weather (like under 32 degrees F). Given that the green gas or propane is held in the mag by silicone seals, o-rings, and gaskets, low temperatures can affect the seals and trigger the gas to escape prior to shooting airsoft BBs. This can make the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the gun would normally shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temperatures).
One fix for this problem is to keep the GBB handgun mags warmer by positioning them next to your body prior to game play. This can help to heat up the rubber gaskets and help to seal in the green gas. It can also be worth checking out a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun if you actually want to play airsoft with a trustworthy airsoft pistol in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and the gun shoots better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Info on Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong coil springs that shoot the BBs out of the pistol’s barrel. The manual action of reloading, shooting, and cocking spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB airsoft guns.
Spring handguns perform best in springer battles where airsoft players can solely use related, single shot spring pistols or as a transitional weapon for CQB environments when you can often quietly sneak up on other airsoft participants to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a fast second follow-up shot is not really needed given that the other opponent is already hit by the first BB and out of the game play or moving back to respawn. When engaging multiple enemies considering that the springer only shoots as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be careful.
About Spring Handgun Effectiveness
Spring pistols are extremely effective under the most ideal scenarios. Spring guns like pistols can usually shoot accurately up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but the ability to hit targets decreases rapidly.
Details About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to bring into the field as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s grip. They operate similar to an AEG gun and use compressed air with electrically cycled gearboxes and cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol mags normally 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 Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has grown considerably over the last few years. The early gen AEP guns were a little bit sketchy and undependable, however the newer models have the bugs worked out and make effective airsoft backup weapons. They can be further modified with enhanced mag storage capacities as well as accommodating larger batteries.
A large perk of buying an AEG pistol is that you have the capability to rewire the wires to use a bigger battery. Based on the AEG pistol model, you are able to gain a substantial jump in performance and fire rate by using a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as an alternative to the standard AEP battery. Beware of adjusting the components and the gun’s wires since you need to take into account the volts, mAh, and electrical loads of the batteries. Ask a professional airsoft gun technician at your local airsoft shop if you have customization problems.
Which Airsoft Handgun is Best for Me?
Picking the right airsoft sidearm for you depends on your budget, how much you plan to play airsoft using it, and where you plan to play. If you have over one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft pistol, consider a green gas pistol or AEG pistol. These guns are typically the top of the line, have great performance, and are usually a good gun to invest in. Look into a CO2 pistol or more affordable green gas GBB handgun if you have about more than fifty but less than one-hundred dollars to put into an airsoft gun purchase. Middle of the road guns like these will still work well and are long lasting sidearms. Look for a cheap CO2 or spring pistol if you have $50 or less. You can still get a well-built airsoft pistol to use for the handgun games.
