How to Pick an Airsoft Handgun
Learn more about airsoft handguns and pistols and how you can use them as backup guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the best handgun and practicing with it can be a game changer in hitting your shots. Pistols, naturally, are shorter range airsoft guns. They are normally fashioned after firearm guns or models of legitimate handguns. Lots of airsoft sidearms are fully certified models of their real weapon counterparts. These airsoft guns can visually appear and function (sans shooting bullets) in the same ways identically to the real guns they are modeled after while firing airsoft BBs in place of genuine 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 styles of handguns has negatives and positives connected with them. Learning about the kinds of airsoft pistols allows you to choose which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most dependable and common kinds of handguns. They are all weather pistols and operate well in many kinds of weather conditions and climates. These sidearms use high pressure CO2 gas to force airsoft BBs down the pistol barrel. The CO2 cartridge is typically kept in the gun’s mag inside the handle.
These forms of airsoft weapons are great for playing in colder weather conditions considering that the compressed CO2 gas is less prone to variation by low temperature. This provides good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for instance where other sorts of pistols like green gas stop working or hardly shoot BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look like a metallic cylinder and hold high-pressure CO2 gas made up of a single carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms, hence the molecular formula comes out to be “C + O2 “. These atoms are attached in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is stored in the 12 gram cartridge cylinders under really high pressure of near ~ 800psi that converts to 55bar.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely inside, however once they are opened (firing them in an airsoft pistol breaks the seal) they will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They do have the supplier’s use by date typically marked on the package or cartridge cylinder, however, they will last for a long time past this date if the cartridge seals are not tampered with.
Info About Green Gas Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 pistols, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. As an alternative, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to fire 6mm airsoft pellets. The outcome on gameplay and green gas pistol functionality is just about the same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to about 300+ feet-per-second (FPS). Shots are rapidly fired in automatic or semi-automatic shooting modes and can accurately hit targets at short to mid-range ranges.
The green gas is stored in the pistol’s magazine which can frequently hold in-between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the handgun style. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and seals keep the green gas sealed in the magazine up to the point the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a great idea to top off and fill up your green gas supply in the pistol mag each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding airsoft players can even carry excess bottles of green gas in the field for refilling mags between breaks in the war or between gameplay.
When bringing a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a secondary or primary gun, bringing additional handgun mags is advised for quickly reloading and engaging opponents. Having extra magazines allows you to re-engage in the action in the middle of firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas handguns are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are usually not authorized to be used during indoor engagements. This is a safety rule because of the close quarters distance of gamers during the shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas handguns can still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel helps to keep the joules and energy forcing the BB lower compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different types of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These pistols run like a genuine handgun with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. The gas triggers the slide to cycle when a new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. This functionality is really cool, however the GBB guns often are more expensive and possibly have more parts that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback guns usually cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is around the same when comparing the two kinds of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
While green gas typically works very well, it does have constraints. When green gas and GBB guns are used over the winter playing in the snow or in colder temps (such as under 32 deg F). Considering that the green gas or propane is held in the weapon’s magazine by rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, the cold can impact the seals and allow the stored gas to seep out before shooting airsoft BBs. The depressurized gas can cause the airsoft BBs to only shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the gun would typically shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather).
One solution to this problem is to try to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by putting them near your body just before the game play. This can help to warm 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 pistol if you really prefer to play with a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and perform better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that shoot the BBs out of the handgun’s barrel. The manual actions of reloading, firing, and cocking spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols.
Spring sidearms and guns perform the best in springer wars where airsoft players can only use comparable, single shot spring pistols or as a close quarters combat backup weapon 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 case, a fast 2nd followup shot is not called for due to the fact that the other player is now hit by the first shot and out of the game or headed back to respawn. When engaging many different players since the gun only shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be careful.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring handguns are considerably useful under the best conditions during airsoft games. Their FPS typically chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12g airsoft BBs. These handguns generally fire lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the coiled springs are less effective than other styles of airsoft weapons. Spring pistols can usually shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however the ability to engage targets diminishes rapidly. Shooting conventional 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a decreased range of around 60 to 80 feet or less with enhanced precision.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to bring as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s grip. They function much like an AEG rifle and use forced air forced through electrically cycled cylinders and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG handgun mags generally store around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or about 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electrical gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which depends if you have enough spare magazines to maintain the ammo supply and the battery holds out that long. These AEP handguns can accurately shoot airsoft BBs at around 150 foot distances.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually grown substantially in recent years. The early gens were a bit unreliable and questionable, but the latest versions have most of the issues resolved and make efficient airsoft backup guns. They can be improved with increased magazine capacities and also accommodating more powerful batteries.
A massive benefit of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the adapters to use a bigger battery. Depending on the AEG pistol model, you can get a sizable output in performance by using a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as an alternative for the stock mini battery.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me to Play with?
Choosing the most ideal airsoft sidearm for you depends on how much you can afford to spend, how much you wish to play airsoft with it, and where you hope to play. Look into a GBB handgun or AEP handgun if you have over one-hundred dollars to invest on your airsoft handgun. These kinds of pistols are usually the top-tier guns, have the very best performance, and can be a great pistol to purchase. If you have between more than $50 but less than $100 to use for your gun, take a look at a CO2 handgun or less expensive green gas pistol. These will still finish the job and will be sturdy sidearms. Look for a low end CO2 or spring handgun if you have fifty dollars or less. You can still buy a resilient airsoft pistol to use for the handgun airsoft guns.
