How to Pick an Airsoft Pistol
Learn more about airsoft pistols and how you can use them as backup weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your shot accuracy and getting the ideal sidearm can make a big difference in aiming your shots. Pistols, by nature, are lower range airsoft weapons. They are most often produced after authentic handguns or copies of actual pistols. Lots of airsoft pistols are fully licensed versions of their genuine handgun equivalents. These airsoft guns can visually look and function (except for shooting bullets) in the same ways similarly to the real guns they are designed after while blasting airsoft BBs instead of real bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns consisting of CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these forms of sidearms have benefits and differences related to them. Learning more about the types of airsoft pistols allows you to decide which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
About CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most common and dependable types of handguns. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to force airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel.
These types of airsoft guns are great choices for playing in colder weather conditions due to the fact that the compressed CO2 gas is less prone to performance variations by temperature. This gives CO2 airsoft pistols great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for instance where other types of airsoft guns like green gas stuffer from low performance or barely shoot BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges resemble a chrome metal cylinder and store high pressured CO2 gas composed of a single carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms, consequently the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are bonded in the following order “O= C =O”. The gas is held in the 12 gram cartridges under extremely high pressure of close to ~ 800psi which converts to 55bar.
The CO2 gas cylinders cannot be refilled and you can commonly buy them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to preserve the CO2 gas safely and securely inside, but when they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft gun breaks the cartridge seal) the cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are not expended. You ought to attempt to burn up the whole CO2 cartridge the exact same day you open the seal. Use the opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the excess gas if the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level guide on the cartridge so you need to shoot until the handgun stops shooting.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They are made with the supplier’s expiry date typically marked on the box or cylinder, however, they may stay pressurized for a prolonged period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Information About Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft pistols function similarly to CO2 pistols, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Alternatively, they use green gas or propane for propellant to propel the airsoft BBs. The effect on airsoft games and green gas pistol effectiveness is just about the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to 300+ feet per second (FPS). Shots are quickly fired in semi-automatic or fully-automatic shooting modes and can accurately hit targets at shorter to mid-range ranges.
The propane is kept in the handgun’s airsoft mag that can frequently hold in-between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the pistol type. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone seals keep the gas stored in the magazine till the pistol’s trigger is pulled.
When bringing a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field or arena as a secondary or primary weapon, bringing extra pistol mags is encouraged for quickly reloading and engaging the op force. Having extra mags on-hand helps you get back in the action in the middle of firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas handguns are excellent for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles and full-sized AEGs are normally not allowed to be used for indoor game play. This is a safety rule because of the close quarters distance of players during the shooting engagements. While green gas pistols still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy moving the BB lower compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different types of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These guns function like an authentic handgun with the pistol slide “blowing back” with every shot. Every time a brand-new airsoft BB is chambered, the gas triggers the slide to cycle. This cycling is extremely cool, however the GBB guns often are more expensive and possibly have more which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a stationary slide which does not move. The non-blowback weapons commonly cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is around the same when comparing the two kinds of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
While green gas generally works extremely well, it does have limits. When green gas and GBB guns are used in the winter airsoft games in the snow or in colder weather (like below 32 degrees F). Because the green gas or propane is kept in the pistol mag by rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold temperatures can impact these seals and cause the gas to leak out before shooting. The decrease in pressure can make the airsoft BBs to just shoot several feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the pistol would normally shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather conditions).
One fix to this issue is to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by placing them next to your body, beside a heater, or inside your jacket prior to game play. If you absolutely want to play with a dependable airsoft pistol in the cold weather, it may additionally be worth getting a CO2 variation of your preferred handgun.
Info on Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong springs that launch the BBs out of the gun’s barrel. The manual actions of firing, reloading, and cocking spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB airsoft guns.
Spring guns perform the best in springer battles where players can just use related, single shot spring weapons or as an alternative backup weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can often surprise other airsoft game players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a fast second follow-up shot is not really needed given that the other person is already struck and out of the game or going back to respawn. When engaging numerous rivals given that the gun just shoots as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be careful.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring handguns are very useful under the proper game circumstances. Their FPS typically chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These handguns usually fire lighter weight airsoft BBs because the springs are less effective than other kinds of airsoft guns like SMGs. Spring pistols can typically engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs however the ability to engage targets accurately is reduced rapidly. Shooting regular 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a reduced shooting distance of about 60 to 80 feet or less with heightened target accuracy.
Details About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely an option to use as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s grip. They operate similar to an AEG SMG and use forced air with electrically cycled cylinders and gearboxes to shoot airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG handgun magazines typically can carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs as high as around 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or about 200 to 250 FPS when loaded with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electric gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which depends if you have enough magazines to reload (after every 20 to 30 rounds) and the battery lasts that long. These handguns can precisely shoot airsoft BBs at around 150 foot ranges.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has increased significantly recently. The early generations were a bit undependable and sketchy, but the newer models have most of the deficiencies resolved and make efficient airsoft backup guns. They can be modded with enhanced magazine capacities along with accommodating bigger batteries.
A substantial benefit of using an AEG handgun is that you have the power to rewire the adapters to use a bigger battery. Depending on the AEG pistol design, you can get a large increase in performance by adopting a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) rather than the stock AEP battery.
Which Airsoft Handgun is Best for Me?
Choosing the most ideal airsoft sidearm for you depends upon your budget, how much you desire to play airsoft using it, and where you plan to play. If you can use more than one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft handgun, look at a green gas pistol or AEP pistol. These kinds of handguns are usually the top-tier guns, have good performance, and could be an excellent airsoft gun to invest in. Look into a CO2 handgun or cheaper green gas GBB pistol if you have between more than fifty but less than one-hundred dollars to invest. Middle of the road guns like these will still be fun to play with and can be pretty long lasting sidearms. If you have less than fifty dollars, choose a lower end CO2 or springer handgun. You can still buy a long lasting airsoft pistol to use for the handgun airsoft guns.
