How to Choose an Airsoft Pistol
Find information about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as backup weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. A lot of airsoft handguns are fully manufacturer licensed versions of their actual handgun counterparts and run and appear in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of actual bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols consisting of CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these kinds of sidearms have benefits and differences related to them. Finding out about the varieties of airsoft handguns helps you decide which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most typical and long lasting varieties of handguns. They are all season handguns and function well in many kinds of weather, temperatures, and climates. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to move airsoft BBs down the weapon barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within the cylinder and is usually held in the handgun’s magazine inside the handle.
These styles of airsoft pistols are excellent for airsoft games in cold weather conditions since the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less prone to performance variations caused by low temperatures. This fact gives CO2 airsoft pistols very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for instance where other sorts of airsoft pistols like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly shoot pellets.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by typical 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges resemble a metallic cylinder and hold high-pressure CO2 gas made up of just one carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, however the moment 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 matches 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.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime. They come with the maker’s expiration date usually marked on the box or cylinder, however they may survive for a prolonged period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Sidearm Facts
Green gas airsoft pistols are similar to CO2 handguns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. The operational impact on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is virtually the very same as CO2 handguns with the weapons at about 300+ FPS.
The propane is held in the pistol’s airsoft magazine which can often hold between 15 to 20+ BBs based on the handgun model. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and seals keep the gas pressurized in the magazine before the handgun’s trigger is squeezed.
When using a green gas pistol on the airsoft field as a primary or backup gun, bringing additional mags is suggested for quickly reloading and getting back into the game. Having additional magazines allows you to get back in the action in the middle of firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas pistols are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields because rifles and full-sized AEGs are generally not permitted to be used for indoor game play. This is an essential safety rule due to the close range distance of gamers during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas pistols still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel assists to keep the joules and energy moving the BB lower compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various kinds of green gas airsoft handguns. First there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These guns operate like a realistic pistol with the pistol slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. The propane gas causes the slide to cycle each time a brand-new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. This cycling is really cool, however the guns typically cost more and possibly have more parts which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns use a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback handguns usually cost less than GBBs. Performance is around the same when comparing the two types of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane gas is held in the handgun magazine using rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, the cold can affect these seals and allow the stored gas to escape before shooting the pistol. The lack of pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when the GBB handgun would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temperatures).
One solution to this problem is to make the GBB handgun mags warmer by placing them next to your body or near a heat source prior to game play starts. If you really need to play with a reputable airsoft handgun in the cold weather, it might also be worth getting a CO2 version of your preferred handgun.
Facts About Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft guns are powered by powerful coil springs that fire the BBs out of the handgun barrel. They are normally able to only shoot one BB at a time. The manual functioning of shooting, cocking, and reloading spring guns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns. When shooting at enemies on the airsoft field with upgraded rifles, automatic airsoft AEG SMGs, rifles, and CO2 or GBB airsoft handguns, this makes spring airsoft guns entertaining to use, however less efficient.
Spring sidearms perform most effectively in springer battles where participants can only use similar, single shot spring guns or as a close quarters weapon for CQB environments when you can frequently quietly sneak up on other airsoft game players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a quick 2nd followup shot isn’t needed due to the fact that the other person is already hit by the first BB and out of the gameplay or running back to respawn. When engaging multiple opponents considering that the springer simply shoots as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring handguns are incredibly effective under the appropriate scenarios. Spring handguns can commonly fire up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12g BBs but the ability to engage targets reduces quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistol Info
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to bring as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are often powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s grip. They function similar to an AEG gun and use pressured air with electrically cycled pistons, gearboxes, and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol mags usually hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can launch airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has grown considerably in the last few years. The earliest generation AEP guns were a little bit sketchy and unreliable, but the more recent designs have most of the problems worked out and make reliable airsoft backup weapons. They can be upgraded with increased magazine storage capacities and by accommodating more powerful batteries.
A large perk of using an AEG pistol is that you have the capacity to rewire the connections to use an enhanced capacity battery. Depending upon the AEG handgun model, you may be able to gain a big jump in performance and fire rate by utilizing a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) instead of the standard AEP battery. Take extra precautions when tweaking the components and the gun’s wires because you need to take into account the volts, mAh, and loads of the batteries. If you have modding concerns, ask an expert airsoft gun tech at your nearest airsoft shop.
What Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me to Play with?
Finding the ideal airsoft sidearm for you depends on how much you want to spend, how often you desire to play airsoft with it, and where you plan to play. If you can afford at least one-hundred dollars to invest in your airsoft pistol, look at a green gas blowback pistol or AEG handgun. These guns are usually the top of the line, have the very best efficiency, and are usually a pretty good gun to invest in. If you can afford about $50 to $100 to spend, look at a CO2 pistol or a less expensive GBB pistol. These will still get the job done and are pretty durable sidearms. If you have $50 or less, consider a low end CO2 or spring pistol. You can still get a heavy-duty airsoft pistol to use for the handgun games.
