How to Choose an Airsoft Pistol
Learn about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as secondary guns or as core weapons on the airsoft playing field. Lots of airsoft pistols are completely accredited models of their genuine gun equivalents and operate and look in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than genuine bullets.
There are several types of airsoft pistols including CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun pistols. Each of these varieties of handguns have positives and negatives related to them. Learning more about the varieties of airsoft pistols helps you figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most popular and durable types of sidearms. These pistols use pressurized CO2 gas to force airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel.
These forms of airsoft weapons are great choices for airsoft games in cold weather conditions because the pressurized CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less sensitive to FPS decreases with temperature. This gives CO2 airsoft guns very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for instance where other types of airsoft pistols like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly shoot airsoft BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look like a shiny cylinder and store high pressure CO2 gas made up of 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely inside, but soon after they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft handgun 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 opportunity to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the excess gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime. They do have a manufacturer’s best used by date typically printed on the box or cylinder, but they will survive for an extended period past this date if the cartridge seal is not punctured.
Information About Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft pistols are comparable to CO2 handguns, but they use green gas or propane instead of CO2 cartridges. The effect on the battleground and green gas weapon efficiency is virtually the very same as CO2 pistols with the guns at around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is kept in the pistol’s magazine which can frequently hold between 15 to 20+ 6mm BBs depending on the gun model. A set of valves, rubberized stoppers, and seals keep the propane housed in the pistol mag until the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a great idea to fill up and top off your green gas reserves in your pistol mag each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding airsoft players can also carry supplemental bottles of propane gas in the field for reloading mags in-between lulls in the war or in-between activities.
When using a green gas pistol on the airsoft field as a primary or backup weapon, extra magazines are recommended for quickly reloading and getting back into the game. Having extra magazines allows you to re-engage in the action in the middle of firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas pistols are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields considering rifles and full-sized AEGs are typically not authorized to be used for indoor shooting. This is an essential safety regulation due to the close quarters distance of gamers during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas handguns still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy shooting the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various forms of green gas airsoft pistols. First, there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These guns run like a legitimate pistol with the slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. Each time a new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber, the gas triggers the slide to cycle. The result is really cool, however the guns frequently are more expensive and potentially have more parts that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback weapons normally cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same between the two types of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
While green gas typically functions extremely well on the airsoft field, it does have constraints. This includes when green gas guns are played with in the winter in the snow or in colder weather (like under 32 deg F). Because the green gas or propane is stored in the weapon’s magazine using rubber seals and gaskets, low temperatures can impact these seals and trigger the gas to seep out before shooting airsoft BBs. This can cause the airsoft BBs to only shoot several feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the pistol would typically shoot BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer weather).
One fix for this challenge is to make the GBB pistol magazines warmer by putting them close to your body before airsoft game play. This can help to warm up the seals, gaskets, and valves and help to seal in the green gas. It can also be worth buying a CO2 variation of your favorite pistol if you really want to play airsoft with a reliable airsoft pistol in the cold. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and the gun will shoot better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Handgun Info
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by powerful coil springs that launch the airsoft BBs down the gun barrel. They are normally able to only shoot one BB. The manual functioning of reloading, cocking, and shooting spring airsoft guns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols. When shooting at rivals on the airsoft field with upgraded weapons, fully auto airsoft AEG assault rifles, sniper rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols, this makes spring guns enjoyable to use, however less effective.
Spring pistols work best in springer battles where airsoft players can exclusively use related, single shot spring handguns or as an alternative backup gun for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can frequently sneak up to other airsoft participants to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a fast 2nd follow-up shot will not be really needed because the other player is already hit by the first shot and out of the gameplay or headed back to respawn. When engaging a number of enemies because the spring gun simply fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be careful.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring pistols are extremely effective under the appropriate circumstances. Spring guns can usually shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to engage targets reduces rapidly.
Info on AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to bring into the field as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s grip. They work just like an AEG SMG and use forced air with electrically cycled gearboxes, pistons, and cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very rapidly at that.
AEG handgun mags usually can carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot 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 Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually increased substantially in recent years. The first generations were a little bit questionable and unreliable, however the more recent models have the issues resolved and make reliable airsoft secondary guns. They can be modified with enhanced mag storage capacities together with accommodating more powerful batteries.
A huge perk of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the capability to rewire the wires to use an enhanced battery with higher mAh. Depending upon the AEG handgun version, you can gain a sizable jump in functionality using a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as a replacement for the standard mini battery. Take extra precautions when modifying the elements and the gun’s wires since you should think about the volts, mAh, and loads of the battery. Ask an experienced weapon technician at your closest airsoft store if you have customization questions.
What Airsoft Handgun is Best for Me to Play with?
Selecting the right airsoft handgun for you depends on how much you can afford, how often you plan to play airsoft using it, and where you decide to play. Consider a green gas blowback handgun or AEG handgun if you have over one-hundred dollars to invest on your airsoft handgun. These guns are normally the best of the best, have the very best performance, and could be a great airsoft gun to invest in. Look into a CO2 handgun or cheaper GBB pistol if you have between more than $50 but less than $100 to invest. These guns will still work well and are pretty sturdy sidearms. Look for a cheaper CO2 or spring handgun if you have less than fifty dollars. You can still buy a dependable airsoft pistol to use for the handgun airsoft guns.
