How to Choose an Airsoft Handgun
Learn about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as extra guns or as core weapons on the airsoft playing field. Many airsoft handguns are completely licensed replications of their authentic weapon equivalents and look and function in the same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than actual bullets.
There are a number of varieties of airsoft pistols consisting of CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these styles of pistols have benefits and differences related to them. Learning about the styles of airsoft sidearms helps you make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Sidearm Details
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most typical and tough types of sidearms. These pistols use pressurized CO2 gas to shoot airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel.
These types of airsoft weapons are very good for airsoft games in cooler weather conditions given that the high pressure CO2 gas is less sensitive to performance variations with low temperature. This provides great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for instance where other kinds of guns like green gas stop performing or hardly shoot pellets.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look like a metallic cylinder and hold high-pressure CO2 gas consisting of just one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, for this reason the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are bound in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is held in the 12 gram cylinders under extremely high pressure of around ~ 800psi that correlates to 55bar.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely within, however once they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft weapon 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 handgun target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while if the cylinders are stored sealed. They do have the manufacturer’s best used by date usually printed on the package or cylinder, however they will probably last for a long period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Details About Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 handguns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. As an alternative, they use green gas or propane for propellant to propel the airsoft BBs. The impact on airsoft games and green gas handgun operation is virtually the same as CO2 handguns with the weapons shooting up to about 300+ FPS. Shots are efficiently fired in semi-automatic or automatic firing modes and can accurately hit targets at very short to mid-range ranges.
The green gas is stashed in the pistol’s magazine which can normally hold in-between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending on the handgun type. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and seals keep the gas pressurized in the mag until the handgun’s trigger is pulled.
When carrying a green gas pistol on the airsoft field as a secondary or main weapon, additional mags are encouraged for rapidly reloading. Having additional mags allows you to re engage in the action throughout firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas pistols are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields considering that rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are typically not enabled to be used for indoor game play. This is a safety rule due to the close range proximity of airsoft players during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy forcing the BB at a decreased level compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various varieties of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These pistols work like a realistic handgun with the slide “blowing back” with every shot. Each time a fresh airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber, the gas induces the slide to cycle. The result is extremely cool, but the guns typically cost more and likely have more parts which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns use a fixed slide which does not move. The non-blowback pistols commonly cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same when comparing the two kinds of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas generally can be used very well on the airsoft field, it does have issues. When they are used during the winter airsoft games in the snow or in cold weather conditions (such as under 32 degrees F). Because the green gas or propane gas is stored in the mag using rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, the cold can negatively affect the seals and cause the stored gas to escape prior to shooting. This can cause the airsoft BBs to just shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when it would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer temperatures).
One fix to this problem is to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by positioning them next to your body or by a heater prior to game play. If you absolutely desire to play with a reputable airsoft handgun in the cold weather, it might additionally be worth getting a CO2 style of your preferred pistol.
Spring Airsoft Handgun Info
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong coil springs that launch the BBs out of the gun barrel. The manual functioning of firing, reloading, and cocking spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB guns.
Spring airsoft guns perform the best in springer battles where opponents can solely use related, single shot spring weapons or as a transition weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can usually sneak up to other airsoft players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a fast 2nd follow-up shot is not required given that the other opponent is already struck and out of the gameplay or heading back to respawn. Look out when fighting a number of enemies considering the spring gun only fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring guns are really effective under the best circumstances and airsoft games. Their FPS commonly chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These weapons normally fire lighter weight airsoft BBs since the pitched springs are less effective than other kinds of airsoft guns like rifles. Spring guns can usually shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to engage targets accurately diminishes quickly. Shooting regular 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a decreased shooting distance of around 60 to 80 feet or less with enhanced target accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handgun Details
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to use as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are often powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s handle. They operate much like an AEG rifle and use pressurized air pumped through electrically cycled pistons, gearboxes, and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG handgun magazines normally can carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can launch airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has actually increased considerably in recent years. The initial generations were a bit sketchy and undependable, but the latest versions have the deficiencies worked out and make effective airsoft secondary guns. They can be further upgraded with increased mag capacities and also accommodating larger batteries.
A huge advantage of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the battery connections to use a bigger battery. Depending on the AEG handgun model, you can get a substantial output in performance by using a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock AEP battery.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me to Buy?
Picking out the most ideal airsoft pistol for you depends upon your gun budget, how much you would like to play airsoft with it, and where you hope to play. Consider a green gas blowback pistol or AEG handgun if you have over one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft handgun. These guns are usually the top of the line, have the very best efficiency, and could be a great airsoft gun to invest in. If you can afford in-between more than $50 but less than $100 to use for your gun, have a look at a CO2 handgun or cheaper green gas blowback pistol. These mid-tier guns will still function well and will be pretty sturdy sidearms. Look for a cheap CO2 or spring handgun if you have less than $50. You can still buy a resilient airsoft handgun to use for the handgun airsoft guns.
