How to Choose an Airsoft Handgun
Find information about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as extra weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. A lot of airsoft pistols are fully manufactured editions of their real firearm counterparts and function and look in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than real bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols including CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun pistols. Each of these styles of sidearms have positives and negatives connected with them. Learning more about the types of airsoft handguns helps you choose which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Handgun Details
CO2 airsoft sidearms are among the most typical and long-lasting types of pistols. They are all-season, all-weather pistols and function well in many types of weather, extreme temperatures, and environments. These pistols use pressurized CO2 gas to force airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within the cylinder and is typically stored in the handgun’s mag inside the handle.
These forms of airsoft weapons are good for playing airsoft in cold temperatures due to the fact that the pressurized CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less vulnerable to variation with low temperatures. This fact provides exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter season for instance where other kinds of airsoft pistols like green gas cease to operate or hardly fire airsoft BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by typical 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a chrome cylinder and hold high pressure CO2 gas consisting of just one carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms hence the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The CO2 cartridge cylinders cannot be used multiple times and you can typically order them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to retain the CO2 gas safely inside, once they are opened (firing them inside of an airsoft handgun breaks the cartridge seal) the cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. You need to attempt to consume the entire CO2 cartridge the same day you open the seal. Use the opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas if the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level indication on the cartridge so you have to shoot until the pistol stops shooting BBs.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if the cylinders are kept sealed. They are made with a manufacturer’s use by date usually printed on the package or cartridge, however they will last for a prolonged period past this date if the cartridge seals are not punctured.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Pistol Info
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 handguns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. As an alternative, they use green gas or propane for propellant to propel the airsoft pellets. The result on the battlefield and green gas sidearm operation is almost the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to 300+ feet per second (FPS). Shots are quickly fired in automatic or semi-automatic shooting modes and can hit targets at very short to mid-range proximities.
The propane is kept in the pistol’s magazine that can commonly hold in-between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the pistol type. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and o-rings keep the gas stored in the magazine up until the handgun’s trigger is pulled.
When carrying a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or secondary weapon, extra pistol mags are strongly recommended for rapidly reloading. Having additional magazines helps you reengage in the action in the course of firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas pistols are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields considering rifles and full-sized AEGs are normally not authorized to be used for indoor gameplay. This is a safety standard because of the close range proximity of gamers during the shooting engagements. While green gas pistols still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy pushing the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various sorts of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
While green gas typically functions extremely well on the airsoft field, it does have limits. This includes when they are played with in the winter season in the snow or in cold weather (like less than 32 degrees F). Considering that the green gas or propane is stored in the mag by rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, low temperatures can impact the seals and cause the gas to escape prior to firing the pistol. The decrease in pressure can make the airsoft BBs to only shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the gun would ordinarily shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather).
One strategy to this problem is to make the GBB pistol mags warmer by positioning them next to your body or by a heater just before the airsoft game play starts. If you truly want to play with a reputable airsoft pistol in the cold weather, it might also be worth getting a CO2 style of your favorite pistol.
Spring Airsoft Sidearm Information
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong coil springs that send the BBs out of the pistol barrel. The manual action of reloading, cocking, and firing spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns.
Spring sidearms and guns work the best in springer wars where participants can just use comparable, single shot spring guns or as a transitional backup weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can frequently quietly sneak up on other airsoft players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a rapid second follow-up shot isn’t required due to the fact that the other opponent is already hit by the airsoft BB and out of the game or heading back to respawn. When engaging many different enemies since the gun only shoots as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring handguns are incredibly efficient under the appropriate game circumstances. Their FPS usually chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12g airsoft BBs. These pistols usually fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the coiled springs are less effective than other types of airsoft guns like SMGs. Spring handguns can typically engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but accuracy diminishes rapidly. Shooting basic 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a decreased range of about 60 to 80 feet with enhanced accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice 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 handle. They operate much like an AEG SMG and use pressured air forced through electrically cycled pistons and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG handgun magazines normally can hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can launch airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has grown considerably in recent years. The initial generations were a little bit sketchy and undependable, but the new models have the issues resolved and make efficient airsoft secondary guns. They can be further modded with increased mag capacities and also accommodating bigger batteries.
A big perk of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the capability to rewire the connections to use a larger battery with longer life. Depending upon the AEG pistol model, you are able to gain a sizable output in performance by using a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) rather than the standard mini battery. Beware of adjusting the parts and the gun’s wires because you must take into account the volts, mAh, and electrical loads of the battery. If you have modding questions, ask a qualified airsoft service tech at your closest airsoft shop or store.
Which Airsoft Handgun is Right for Me?
If you have $100 or more to use to buy your airsoft pistol, check out a GBB handgun or automatic electric pistol. If you have between fifty to one-hundred dollars to shell out, review a good quality CO2 handgun or less expensive GBB handgun. If your gun budget is lower, you can still get a durable airsoft handgun to use for the handgun games by checking out lower end pistols and by shopping the used gun market.
