How to Choose an Airsoft Handgun
Find information about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as extra guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Lots of airsoft handguns are fully accredited variations of their genuine firearm counterparts and look and run in the same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than genuine bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns including CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these forms of handguns have benefits and differences associated with them. Learning more about the types of airsoft pistols allows you to figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most common and long lasting styles of handguns. They are all-weather handguns and work well in many kinds of weather and climates. These handguns use pressurized CO2 gas to send airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas and is generally housed in the handgun’s handle.
These kinds of airsoft weapons are exceptional for playing in cooler weather considering that the pressurized CO2 gas is less sensitive to variation by temperature levels. This fact gives CO2 airsoft sidearms exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for instance where other sorts of handguns like green gas stop functioning or hardly fire BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by common 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look like a shiny steel cylinder and contain high-pressure CO2 gas comprised of just one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms, as a result of the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are attached in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cartridge cylinders under really high pressure of about ~ 800psi that translates to 55bar.
The CO2 gas cartridges cannot be used multiple times and you can commonly purchase them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to preserve the CO2 gas safely and securely within, but soon after they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft handgun breaks the seal) cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. You need to attempt to dissipate the whole CO2 cartridge the same day you open the seal. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the chance to do some pistol accuracy and target practice and use up the remainder of the additional gas. There is no gas level guide on the cartridge so you have to shoot until the pistol stops shooting BBs.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if the cylinders are stored sealed. They come with the supplier’s expiration date typically printed on the box or cartridge cylinder, but they will probably last for a very long time past this date if the cartridge seals are not tampered with.
Details About Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 pistols, however they use green gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The operational impact on the battleground and green gas weapon performance is practically the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons at about 300+ FPS.
The propane gas is kept in the pistol’s airsoft magazine that can frequently hold between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the pistol type. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas stored in the mag until the handgun’s trigger is squeezed.
When carrying a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or backup weapon, bringing extra pistol mags is suggested for rapidly reloading. Having additional magazines on-hand allows you to re engage in the action throughout firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas handguns are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields considering that rifles and full-sized AEGs are normally not enabled to be used for indoor engagements. This is an essential safety regulation because of the close range 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 pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy shooting the BB at a decreased level compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different varieties of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These handguns run like an actual pistol with the gun’s slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. When a fresh airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber, the gas triggers the slide to cycle. This functionality is very cool, but the guns typically cost more and possibly have more which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a fixed slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback guns normally cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same when comparing the two kinds of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Because the green gas or propane gas is stored in the handgun mag using rubber seals and gaskets, cold temps can affect these o-rings and cause the stored gas to escape before shooting the gun. This lack of pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to only shoot a number of feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the GBB handgun would normally shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temps).
One solution to this challenge is to keep the GBB handgun mags warmer by positioning them inside your jacket next to your body before game play. This can help to heat up the rubber seals and better seal in the green gas. It might also be worth checking out a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun if you truly need to play airsoft with a dependable 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 Sidearms
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by powerful springs with irregular pitches that send the BBs out of the handgun’s barrel. The manual actions of reloading, firing, and cocking spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols.
Spring pistols work best in springer wars where players can solely use related, single shot spring handguns or as a transition backup gun for CQB buildings when you can usually sneak up to other airsoft participants to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a fast 2nd followup shot will not be called for since the other opponent is already hit by the first shot and out of the game or heading back to respawn. Be careful when attacking numerous adversaries considering the gun only shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring pistols are really useful under the appropriate conditions during airsoft games. Spring handguns can normally shoot up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12 gram BBs but target accuracy reduces quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearm Info
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely an option to bring into the field as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s grip. They operate just like an AEG gun and use pressured air forced through electrically cycled pistons, cylinders, and gearboxes to shoot airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG pistol magazines typically carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can launch airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually grown considerably recently. The early generation guns were a bit undependable and questionable, however the new models have most of the deficiencies resolved and make effective airsoft backup weapons. They can be further upgraded with enhanced mag capacities and by accommodating bigger batteries.
A large benefit of using an AEG pistol is that you have the capability to rewire the connections to use a larger battery. Depending upon the AEG handgun version, you may be able to get a big jump in efficiency by using a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as opposed to the standard mini battery. Be careful when adjusting the elements and the gun’s wires since you need to think about the volts, mAh, and loads of the batteries. Ask a qualified airsoft gun technician at your local airsoft store if you have customization inquiries.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me to Buy?
Deciding on the most ideal airsoft sidearm for you depends upon how much you can afford, how much you wish to play airsoft with it, and where you decide to play. If you can use $100 or more to spend on your airsoft pistol, take a look at a green gas blowback or GBB handgun or AEG pistol. These kinds of guns are typically the best of the best, have great performance, and are usually a pretty good gun to invest in. Look into a CO2 handgun or cheaper GBB handgun if you have around $50 to $100 to put towards an airsoft gun purchase. Mid-tier guns like these will still get the job done and can be pretty tough sidearms. If you have $50 or less, try to find a lower end CO2 or spring handgun. You can still buy a well-built airsoft handgun to use for the pistol airsoft guns.
