How to Pick an Airsoft Handgun
Find information about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as backup weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the right handgun and practicing with it can be a game changer in aiming your shots. Pistols, naturally, are short range airsoft guns. They are generally manufactured after genuine pistols or look-alikes of legitimate pistols. A lot of airsoft sidearms are completely licensed editions of their real-world weapon equivalents. These airsoft guns can look and operate in the same ways almost identically to the real guns they are designed after while blasting airsoft BBs rather than authentic bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols consisting of CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these forms of sidearms has positives and negatives connected with them. Learning about the varieties of airsoft sidearms allows you to choose which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most long lasting and standard types of sidearms. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to launch airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel.
These styles of airsoft guns are very good for airsoft games in cold and snowy weather conditions since the pressurized CO2 gas is less susceptible to variation with low temperatures. This provides good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for instance where other types of handguns like green gas stop performing or hardly shoot airsoft BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft guns are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges resemble a shiny steel cylinder and contain high pressured CO2 gas made up of one carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms, subsequently the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are bonded in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is held in the 12 gram cartridges under very high pressure of about ~ 800psi that translates to 55bar.
The CO2 cartridge cylinders cannot be used multiple times and you can usually purchase them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely inside, once they are opened (firing them in an airsoft handgun breaks the seal) the cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. You ought to try to consume the whole CO2 cartridge the exact same day you open the seal. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas leftover, use the opportunity to do some handgun accuracy and target practice and use up the remaining excess gas. There is no gas level gauge on the cartridge so you have to shoot until the weapon stops firing.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if the cylinders are stored sealed. They do have the maker’s expiration date usually listed on the package or cartridge, however they will likely last for a long period past this date if the cartridge seals are not punctured.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Handgun Details
Green gas airsoft pistols are comparable to CO2 pistols, but they use green gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The result on the battlefield and green gas weapon performance is practically the same as CO2 handguns with the weapons shooting up to 300+ FPS.
The propane is held in the pistol’s airsoft magazine that can commonly hold in-between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the pistol style. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and seals keep the gas stored in the magazine until the handgun’s trigger is squeezed.
When using a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field or arena as a backup or main gun, bringing additional pistol mags is advised for rapidly reloading and engaging the op force. Having additional mags on-hand helps you get back in the action in the middle of firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas pistols are great for CQB at airsoft fields because rifles and full-sized AEGs are generally not authorized to be used for indoor shooting. This is a safety regulation due to the close quarters distance of airsoft players during shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas pistols can still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy moving the BB lower compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different types of green gas airsoft handguns. First, there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These handguns operate like an authentic pistol with the gun’s slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. The propane gas induces the slide to cycle every time when a fresh airsoft BB is chambered. This functionality is very cool, but the weapons usually cost more and potentially have more parts which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a fixed slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback weapons usually cost less than GBBs. Performance is around the same when comparing the two styles of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane is stored in the handgun mag by using rubber seals, o-rings, and silicone gaskets, cold temps can impact these o-rings and cause the stored gas to leak out before shooting. This lack of pressure can make the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a few feet away (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the gun would normally shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temps).
One strategy to this issue is to keep the GBB handgun mags warmer by holding them next to your body or near a heat source just before game play starts. If you truly need to play with a trustworthy airsoft handgun in the cold, it might additionally be worth getting a CO2 variation of your favorite pistol.
Spring Airsoft Pistol Info
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by strong coil springs that launch the airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel. They are generally one shot. The manual actions of firing, reloading, and cocking spring airsoft guns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols. This makes spring airsoft guns fun to use, yet they can be less efficient when encountering challengers on the airsoft field with upgraded airsoft guns, automatic airsoft AEG assault rifles and CO2 or GBB airsoft pistols.
Spring sidearms perform the best in springer battles where players can just use related, single shot spring handguns or as a close quarters backup gun for CQB settings when you can often sneak up to other airsoft players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a fast 2nd follow-up shot isn’t really needed due to the fact that the other player is now struck and out of the game play or headed back to respawn. When engaging multiple players since the spring airsoft gun just fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be cautious.
About Spring Handgun Efficiency
Spring pistols are quite useful under the best conditions during games. Their FPS generally chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These pistols normally fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the pitched springs are less effective than other kinds of airsoft guns like rifles. Spring pistols can normally engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however the ability to engage targets reduces rapidly. Choosing normal 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a reduced range of around 60 to 80 feet with heightened precision.
Info on AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also an option to bring into the field as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s butt. They work just like an AEG SMG and use pressured air forced through electrically cycled pistons and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol magazines typically can hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has risen significantly recently. The earliest gen guns were a bit sketchy and undependable, however the new models have the issues resolved and make effective airsoft secondary guns. They can be modded with maximized magazine storage capacities along with accommodating bigger batteries.
A massive advantage of using an AEG pistol is that you have the capability to rewire the battery connections to use a bigger battery. Depending on the AEG pistol style, you can gain a sizable output in performance by taking advantage of a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) instead of the stock mini battery.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me to Play with?
Deciding on the right airsoft sidearm for you depends on your gun budget, how much you desire to play airsoft using it, and where you plan to play. If you can use over $100 to spend on your airsoft handgun, look at a green gas pistol or AEP pistol. These guns are usually the best of the best, have great build qualities, and can be a really good gun to get. Look at a CO2 pistol or less costly green gas GBB handgun if you have in-between more than $50 but less than $100 to put into an airsoft gun purchase. These mid-tier guns will still get the job done and are tough sidearms. If you have less than fifty dollars, look for a lower end CO2 or spring pistol. You can still buy a heavy-duty airsoft handgun to use for the handgun games.
