How to Choose an Airsoft Pistol
Find information about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as extra weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Numerous airsoft pistols are completely approved and licensed replications of their actual gun equivalents and look and operate in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of real bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns consisting of CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these varieties of handguns come with negatives and positives associated with them. Learning about the kinds of airsoft pistols helps you make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Sidearm Details
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most common and tough types of handguns. These handguns use pressurized CO2 gas to shoot airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel.
These kinds of airsoft pistols are excellent for playing in cooler weather conditions considering that the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less vulnerable to variation caused by low temperatures. This provides great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for instance where other styles of guns like green gas stop functioning or hardly shoot airsoft BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by common 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look similar to a metallic cylinder and store high-pressure CO2 gas made up of a single carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms, for this reason the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are bonded in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is held in the 12 gram cartridge cylinders under really high pressure of approximately ~ 800psi that correlates to 55bar.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, but as soon as they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft weapon breaks the cartridge 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 pistol target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime if they are stored sealed. They come with a maker’s best used by date normally printed on the box or cylinder, however, they may survive for a very long time past this date if the cartridge seals are not punctured.
Info About Green Gas Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft pistols are similar to CO2 handguns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Rather, they use green gas or propane for propellant to fire 6mm airsoft pellets. The operational impact on gameplay and green gas sidearm performance is essentially the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to about 300+ FPS. Shots are rapidly fired in semi-automatic or fully-automatic firing modes and precisely hit targets at short to mid-range distances.
The green gas is sealed in the pistol’s magazine and can typically hold roughly 15 to 20+ BBs based on the gun style. A set of valves, silicone gaskets, and seals keep the propane sealed in the pistol mag prior to when the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a great habit to fill up and top off the propane supply in your mag each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding airsoft players can also carry additional bottles of green gas in the field for reloading mags in-between lulls in the battle or in-between gameplay.
When carrying a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a backup or primary weapon, bringing extra handgun mags is suggested for rapidly reloading and engaging the op force. Having additional mags on-hand helps you re engage in the action in the middle of firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas handguns are excellent for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles and full-sized AEGs are typically not approved to be used during indoor gameplay. This is an essential safety guideline because of the close quarters distance of airsoft players during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel helps to keep the joules and energy moving the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various kinds of green gas airsoft pistols. First, there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These handguns function like a realistic handgun with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. The propane gas induces the slide to cycle every time a fresh airsoft BB is chambered. This effect is really cool, however the GBB handguns typically cost more and possibly have more which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns use a fixed slide which does not move. The non-blowback pistols usually cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is around the same when comparing the two styles of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
While green gas generally can be used extremely well on the airsoft field, it does have restrictions. For example, when green gas guns are played with throughout the winter in the snow or in colder temperatures (like under 32 deg F). Because the green gas or propane is stored in the weapon’s magazine using silicone seals and gaskets, cold weather can negatively affect the seals and cause the gas to escape before firing the handgun. The depressurized gas can make the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when it would ordinarily shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temps).
One fix for this challenge is to keep the GBB handgun mags warmer by positioning them next to a heat source or by your body prior to airsoft game play. This can help to warm the seals and valves and help to seal in the green gas. It may also be worth buying a CO2 variation of your preferred handgun if you actually need to play airsoft with a reliable airsoft pistol in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and the gun shoots much better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Handgun Info
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that propel the airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel. They are generally single-shot. The manual functioning of shooting, cocking, and reloading spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols. When shooting at rivals on the airsoft field with upgraded rifles like fully auto airsoft AEG assault rifles and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols, this makes them entertaining to use, however less effective.
Spring sidearms perform best in springer wars where game players can only use related, single shot spring handguns or as an alternative backup weapon for CQB buildings when you can often surprise other airsoft opponents to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a fast second follow-up shot isn’t needed considering that the other person is now hit by the first shot and out of the game play or going back to respawn. Look out when attacking several players due to the fact that the weapon only fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Handgun Effectiveness
Spring handguns are really useful under the right situations. Spring guns like pistols can usually shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but accuracy reduces rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to bring as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are often powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s butt. They operate similar to an AEG gun and use pressurized air pumped through electrically cycled gearboxes, pistons, and cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG pistol magazines typically can carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs as high as about 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS when loaded with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electrical gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which depends on if you have enough magazines to reload (after every 20 to 30 shots) and the battery maintains its charge that long. These handguns can effectively shoot airsoft BBs at about 150 foot distances.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has actually risen considerably over the last few years. The early generation AEP guns were a little bit undependable and sketchy, but the new versions have most of the issues resolved and make reliable airsoft secondary guns. They can be further modded with enhanced mag capacities and also accommodating more powerful batteries.
A substantial advantage of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the capability to rewire the connectors to use a more substantial battery with longer life. Based on the AEG pistol type, you may be able to get a substantial output in performance and fire rate utilizing a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as opposed to the standard battery. Be careful with changing the elements and the gun’s wires because you need to take into consideration the volts, mAh, and loads of the battery. If you have customization questions, ask a professional gun service technician at your closest airsoft store.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me to Play with?
If you have over $100 to use to buy your airsoft pistol, you may want to consider a green gas blowback pistol or automatic electric handgun. If you have between fifty to one-hundred dollars to shell out, evaluate a CO2 pistol or cheaper GBB pistol. You can still find a long lasting airsoft handgun by checking out lower end pistols and by trading with other players in the used gun market if you are trying to save money.
