How to Choose an Airsoft Pistol
Find information about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as extra weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. A lot of airsoft pistols are fully accredited replications of their authentic pistol counterparts and look and run in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than genuine bullets.
There are several kinds of airsoft sidearms such as CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these styles of sidearms has negatives and positives related to them. Learning about the styles of airsoft pistols lets you make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most standard and tough types of sidearms. These handguns use CO2 stored in small cylinders to move airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel.
These kinds of airsoft handguns are great choices for playing in colder temperatures since the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less sensitive to performance variations with temperature levels. This fact gives CO2 airsoft pistols very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for example where other kinds of pistols like green gas stuffer from low performance or barely shoot airsoft BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by common 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look like a metal cylinder and contain high pressured CO2 gas consisting of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, so the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are bonded in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is held in the 12 gram cartridge cylinders under very high pressure of close to ~ 800psi which converts to 55bar.
The CO2 cartridges cannot be refilled and you can usually buy them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to preserve the CO2 gas securely inside, once they are punctured (firing them inside of an airsoft pistol breaks the seal) cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. You ought to attempt to use up the entire CO2 cartridge the same day you open the seal. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some pistol target practice and expend the rest of the additional gas. There is no gas level sign on the cartridge so you need to shoot up until the weapon stops firing airsoft BBs.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They come with the supplier’s expiry date typically printed on the box or cartridge cylinder, however they will probably maintain pressure for a long time past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Pistol Information
Green gas airsoft pistols are similar to CO2 pistols, however they use propane gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The operational impact on the battlefield and green gas weapon performance is almost the exact same as CO2 handguns with the weapons around 300+ FPS.
The propane is stored in the handgun’s magazine which can usually hold in-between 15 to 20+ BBs based on the pistol type. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone seals keep the gas stored in the mag until the pistol’s trigger is squeezed.
When bringing a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a backup or main weapon, bringing additional handgun mags is suggested for rapidly reloading and engaging opponents. Having extra mags helps you re engage in the action in the middle of firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas pistols are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are typically not allowed to be used for indoor game play. This is an essential safety guideline due to the close quarters distance of gamers during shooting engagements. While green gas handguns still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy launching the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different styles of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These guns function like a real handgun with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. The gas causes the slide to cycle every time a new airsoft BB is chambered. This functioning while shooting is really cool, however the GBB guns usually are more expensive and likely have more which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a fixed slide which does not move. The non-blowback pistols normally cost less than GBBs. Performance is around the same between the two styles of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
While green gas usually can be used extremely well, it does have restrictions. For example, when green gas guns are played with in the winter season in the snow or in colder temperatures (like lower 32 deg F). Since the green gas or propane gas is held in the pistol mag using silicone seals and gaskets, low temperatures can negatively impact these seals and trigger the gas to escape prior to shooting airsoft BBs. The decrease in pressure can make the airsoft BBs to only shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when it would typically shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer weather).
One strategy to this issue is to make the GBB handgun magazines warmer by putting them next to your body or near a heat source before the airsoft game play starts. If you really want to play with a trustworthy airsoft pistol in the cold, it may additionally be worth getting a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun.
Details About Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong springs that launch the BBs out of the handgun barrel. The manual action of cocking, shooting, and reloading spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns.
Spring sidearms perform best in springer battles where airsoft players can only use related, single shot spring guns or as a close quarters weapon for CQB environments when you can often quietly sneak up on other airsoft opponents to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a fast 2nd followup shot is not really needed given that the other player is already hit by the first shot and out of the game or headed back to respawn. Beware when attacking a number of adversaries because the springer only shoots as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring handguns are really reliable under the appropriate game conditions. Their FPS generally chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12g airsoft BBs. These weapons normally fire lighter weight airsoft BBs because the pitched springs are less effective than other kinds of airsoft weapons. Spring handguns can normally shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to hit targets accurately decreases rapidly. Shooting standard 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a decreased range of around 60 to 80 feet or less with improved precision.
Info on AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to bring as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are often powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s grip. They function much like an AEG SMG and use pressured air pumped through electrically cycled gearboxes and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG handgun mags normally can hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can launch airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has grown significantly in recent years. The early gen guns were a little bit questionable and undependable, however the new designs have the issues worked out and make reliable airsoft backup guns. They can be modded with maximized magazine storage capacities as well as accommodating more powerful batteries.
A big advantage of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the adapters to use a more substantial battery. Depending on the AEG pistol design, you can get a big output in efficiency by adopting a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock AEP battery.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me to Buy?
Deciding on the right airsoft handgun for you depends on your budget, how often you intend to play airsoft with it, and where you hope to play. Look into a green gas blowback pistol or AEG pistol if you have over one-hundred dollars to invest on your airsoft pistol. These kinds of pistols are normally the best of the best, have the very best performance, and are usually a good gun to get. Take a look at a CO2 handgun or more affordable green gas GBB handgun if you have about more than fifty but less than one-hundred dollars to put towards an airsoft gun purchase. These will still work well and are tough sidearms. If you have less than $50, find a low end CO2 or spring pistol. You can still buy a tough airsoft handgun to use for the handgun airsoft guns.
