How to Pick an Airsoft Pistol
Find out about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as backup guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the ideal pistol and practicing with it can make all the difference in aiming your shots. Pistols, naturally, are reduced range airsoft guns. They are normally developed after authentic sidearms or reproductions of legitimate handguns. A large number of airsoft handguns are completely licensed editions of their real-world firearm counterparts. These airsoft guns can function (short of shooting bullets) in the same ways and visually appear similarly to the real guns they are designed around while blasting airsoft BBs instead of genuine bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns including CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these forms of handguns come with positives and negatives connected with them. Learning more about the types of airsoft handguns allows you to choose which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
About CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most typical and heavy duty types of handguns. These handguns use CO2 stored in small cylinders to launch airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel.
These kinds of airsoft pistols are great choices for playing airsoft in cold and snowy temperatures since the high pressure CO2 gas is less prone to FPS decreases by temperature. This provides excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for instance where other styles of airsoft handguns like green gas stop functioning or hardly shoot BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft guns are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look like a metal cylinder and store high pressured CO2 gas consisting of one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms, subsequently the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are bonded in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cylinders under really high pressure of roughly ~ 800psi which correlates to 55bar.
The CO2 cylinders are not refillable and you can usually buy them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely within, but the moment they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft weapon breaks the cartridge seal) cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are not used up. You need to attempt to expend the whole CO2 cartridge the exact same day you open the seal. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas leftover, use the opportunity to do some pistol accuracy and target practice and expend the remaining additional gas. There is no gas level indicator on the cartridge so you have to shoot up until the pistol stops shooting BBs.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while if the cylinders are stored sealed. They come with the manufacturer’s best used by date normally printed on the box or cartridge, but they can survive for a very long period past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 handguns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. The operational impact on the battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is virtually the same as CO2 handguns with the weapons around 300+ FPS.
The propane gas is kept in the handgun’s airsoft mag which can normally hold between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the handgun type. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and o-rings keep the gas pressurized in the magazine until the handgun’s trigger is squeezed.
When carrying a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a secondary or main gun, bringing extra handgun mags is recommended for rapidly reloading and getting back into the game. Having additional mags on-hand allows you to reengage in the action in the middle of firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas handguns are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields because long guns and full-sized AEGs are normally not allowed to be used for indoor gameplay. This is a safety regulation because of the close quarters distance of gamers during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas pistols can still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy launching the BB at a lower level compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different varieties of green gas airsoft pistols. 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 stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas generally performs effectively on the airsoft field, it does have limits. This includes when green gas guns are played with in the winter season in the snow or in colder weather (like under 32 deg F). Given that the green gas or propane is stored in the weapon’s magazine by silicone seals, o-rings, and gaskets, low temperatures can affect the seals and allow the gas to escape prior to shooting airsoft BBs. The depressurized gas can make the airsoft BBs to only shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the pistol would usually shoot BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer temperatures).
One option to this issue is to make the GBB handgun magazines warmer by placing them next to your body or near a heat source just before the airsoft game play. If you absolutely desire to play with a trustworthy airsoft pistol in the cold weather, it may additionally be worth getting a CO2 version of your preferred pistol.
Spring Airsoft Sidearm Facts
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by strong springs that fire the BBs out of the pistol barrel. The manual functions of reloading, shooting, and cocking spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols.
Spring pistols perform most effectively in springer wars where participants can only use similar, single shot spring handguns or as a close quarters backup gun for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can often quietly sneak up on other airsoft players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a quick second followup shot will not be required because the other opponent is already struck and out of the game or headed back to respawn. Look out when attacking a number of players considering the spring gun only shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Handgun Effectiveness
Spring pistols are remarkably useful under the most ideal game circumstances. Spring handguns can normally shoot accurately up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12g BBs but the ability to hit targets decreases rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handgun Details
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to bring as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are often powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s grip. They operate similar to an AEG gun and use pressurized air forced through electrically cycled pistons and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol mags typically carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs up to about 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 actually increased considerably over the last few years. The first generation AEP guns were a bit unreliable and questionable, however the newer designs have most of the issues resolved and make efficient airsoft backup guns. They can be improved with maximized magazine storage capacities as well as accommodating larger batteries.
A large benefit of using an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the battery connectors to use a larger capacity battery. Depending on the AEG handgun model, you can gain a huge output in functionality by taking advantage of a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) rather than the stock battery.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me to Play with?
Choosing the most ideal airsoft handgun for you depends on your budget, how much you would like to play airsoft with it, and where you decide to play. Look into a green gas blowback handgun or AEG handgun if you have over $100 to spend on your airsoft pistol. These guns are normally the top-tier guns, have great build qualities, and are usually a pretty good gun to get. 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. These guns will still do the job and can be long lasting sidearms. If you have $50 or less, look for a cheap CO2 or spring handgun. You can still find a strong airsoft handgun to use for the pistol airsoft guns.
