How to Pick an Airsoft Handgun
Find out about airsoft guns like pistols and how you can use them as backup weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your accuracy and getting the right pistol can make an impact in aiming your shots. Pistols, by nature, are shorter range airsoft guns. They are often produced after real world handguns or models of genuine handguns. Numerous airsoft pistols are completely certified releases of their actual handgun counterparts. These airsoft guns can run in the same ways and look and feel almost identically to the real guns they are modeled after while firing airsoft BBs rather than real-world bullets.
There are a number of kinds of airsoft handguns including CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these varieties of pistols have benefits and differences associated with them. Learning more about the varieties of airsoft handguns allows you to make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most typical and heavy-duty styles of pistols. They are all-season pistols working well in many kinds of weather, varying temperatures, and climates. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to push airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within a cylinder and is generally held in the pistol’s mag inside the handle.
These types of airsoft weapons are good choices for playing airsoft in cold weather conditions considering that the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less vulnerable to FPS decreases caused by low temperatures. This fact provides very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter season for example where other sorts of airsoft pistols like green gas cease to operate or hardly fire pellets.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look like a chrome cylinder and store high-pressure CO2 gas consisting of 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The CO2 gas cylinders cannot be used multiple times and you can commonly order them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely and securely within, but as soon as they are punctured (firing them in an airsoft weapon breaks the cartridge seal) cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. You should attempt to use up the entire CO2 cartridge the same day you open the seal. Use the opportunity to do some handgun 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 indicator on the cartridge so you need to shoot until the handgun stops cycling.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They do have the supplier’s use by date normally marked on the box or cartridge cylinder, however they will likely stay pressurized for a long period past this date if the cartridge seal is not punctured.
Green Gas Airsoft Pistol Information
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 pistols, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. The operational impact on the battlefield and green gas weapon performance is practically the same as CO2 handguns with the guns at around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is housed in the handgun’s magazine which can typically hold around 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending upon the pistol model. A set of valves, rubber gaskets, and o-rings keep the propane housed in the pistol mag prior to when the pistol’s trigger is squeezed. It is a great idea to refill and top off the green gas supply in the pistol mag each time you load it into the handgun. Pistol-wielding gamers can also take extra bottles of propane in the field for reloading in-between breaks in the battle or in-between activities.
When playing with a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or secondary weapon, bringing additional mags is strongly recommended for quickly reloading and engaging the op force. Having additional magazines on-hand allows you to re-engage in the action in the middle 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 because rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are usually not enabled to be used during indoor engagements. This is a safety standard due to the close quarters proximity of gamers during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas handguns can still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel helps to keep the joules and energy launching the BB at a lower level compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different styles of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback pistols. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas usually works extremely well, it does have restrictions. For example, when green gas guns are used throughout the winter season in the snow or in colder weather (like lower 32 deg F). Considering that the green gas or propane gas is kept in the magazine by silicone seals and gaskets, cold weather can negatively impact these seals and make the stored gas to leak out prior to firing the pistol. This can cause the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when it would normally shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather).
One strategy to this problem is to make the GBB pistol magazines warmer by placing them next to your body prior to the airsoft game play starts. If you truly need to play with a reliable airsoft pistol in the cold weather, it might also be worth getting a CO2 style of your preferred pistol.
Spring Airsoft Pistol Details
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that propel the BBs out of the gun barrel. They are typically one shot. The manual action of shooting, cocking, and reloading spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns. This makes them fun to use, but they are usually less useful when fighting competitors on the airsoft field with upgraded weapons and fully automatic airsoft AEG SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2 or GBB airsoft pistols.
Spring handguns perform best in springer wars where opponents can solely use similar, single shot spring handguns or as a transition weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can frequently surprise other airsoft players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a quick 2nd followup shot will not be needed since the other opponent is now hit and out of the gameplay or moving back to respawn. Be careful when fighting a number of airsoft players because the gun only shoots as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Handgun Effectiveness
Spring pistols are extremely effective under the most ideal circumstances. Spring pistols can commonly shoot accurately up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs however target accuracy reduces rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handgun Facts
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to bring into the field as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s grip. They function just like an AEG gun and use forced air forced through electrically cycled pistons and cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very rapidly at that.
AEG handgun magazines typically carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can launch airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has actually increased significantly in the last few years. The initial generation AEP guns were a bit undependable and sketchy, however the newer versions have most of the problems resolved and make efficient airsoft secondary weapons. They can be upgraded with increased mag storage capacities along with accommodating bigger batteries.
A big benefit of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the battery connectors to use a larger battery. Depending on the AEG pistol model, you can get a sizable jump in efficiency by using a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) rather than the stock AEP battery.
What Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me to Play with?
If you have over one-hundred dollars to use to buy your airsoft handgun, you may want to consider a GBB pistol or AEG pistol. If you have around $50 to $100 to upgrade your gun, review a good quality CO2 handgun or less expensive GBB handgun. If your gun budget is lower, you can still get a resilient airsoft pistol to use for the handgun games by checking out lower end pistols and by shopping the used airsoft gun market.
