How to Choose an Airsoft Handgun
Find out about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as backup weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the right handgun and practicing with it can be a game changer in the accuracy of your shots. Sidearms, by nature, are reduced range airsoft guns. They are most often designed after firearm guns or copies of authentic handguns. Numerous airsoft handguns are completely licensed versions of their actual handgun counterparts. These airsoft guns can visually look and function (short of shooting bullets) in the same ways identically to the real guns they are designed around while firing airsoft BBs rather than authentic bullets.
There are a number of kinds of airsoft handguns including CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these forms of pistols have positives and negatives connected with them. Learning more about the kinds of airsoft pistols lets you figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Handgun Details
CO2 airsoft pistols are among the most resilient and typical kinds of handguns. They are all season pistols and work well in lots of types of temperatures, weather and climates. These sidearms use pressurized CO2 gas to launch airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas and is usually stored in the handgun’s handle.
These styles of airsoft guns are very good for airsoft games in cooler weather conditions given that the pressurized CO2 gas is less susceptible to variation by low temperature. This provides good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for instance where other kinds of airsoft sidearms like green gas stop operating or barely shoot BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look like a metallic cylinder and store high pressure CO2 gas consisting of one carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The CO2 cartridge cylinders are not multiple-use and you can usually order them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely and securely within, once they are opened (firing them in an airsoft handgun breaks the cartridge seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are not used up. You need to attempt to burn 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 additional gas if the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level guide on the cartridge so you have to shoot up until the handgun stops firing.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while. They come with the supplier’s expiry date usually printed on the package or cartridge, however they will probably maintain pressure for an extended period past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Information About Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft pistols are similar to CO2 pistols, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. As an alternative, they use green gas or propane for propellant to shoot the airsoft BBs. The result on gameplay and green gas weapon operation is just about the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to 300+ feet per second (FPS). Shots are quickly fired in semi-automatic or automatic firing modes and precisely hit targets at shorter to mid-range ranges.
The green gas is kept in the handgun’s mag which can frequently hold around 15 to 20+ 6mm airsoft BBs based on the handgun design. A sequence of valves, silicone stoppers, and seals keep the propane gas pressurized in the mag up to when the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a good plan to top off and fill up your green gas in your mag each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding airsoft players can additionally take extra bottles of propane gas in the field for refilling in-between lulls in the battle or in-between gameplay.
When using a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or secondary gun, bringing additional handgun magazines is strongly recommended for quickly reloading and getting back into the game. Having extra mags on-hand helps you re engage in the action in the middle of firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas pistols are great for CQB at airsoft fields since long guns and full-sized AEGs are usually not authorized to be used during indoor shooting. This is an essential safety regulation due to the close quarters proximity of gamers during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas handguns still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel helps to keep the joules and energy propelling 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 different varieties of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
While green gas typically works very well, it does have restrictions. When they are used over the winter in the snow or in cold temperatures (like under 32 deg F). Since the green gas or propane is held in the pistol mag by rubber seals and gaskets, the cold can affect these seals and trigger the gas to leak out prior to firing the handgun. The depressurized gas can make the airsoft BBs to only shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the pistol would normally shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temps).
One solution to this problem is to keep the GBB pistol magazines warmer by positioning them near your body before game play. This can help to heat up the seals, gaskets, and valves and help to seal in the green gas. It might also be worth buying a CO2 variation of your preferred handgun if you truly need to play with a reputable airsoft pistol in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and these guns shoot better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Pistol Details
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by strong coil springs that launch the airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel. They are normally single-shot. The manual functions of firing, reloading, and cocking spring airsoft guns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns. When fighting other airsoft players on the airsoft field with upgraded weapons, fully automatic airsoft AEG SMGs, rifles, and CO2 or GBB airsoft pistols, this can make them entertaining to use, but less effective.
Spring sidearms perform best in springer wars where airsoft players can exclusively use similar, single shot spring weapons or as a close quarters combat backup weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can often quietly sneak up on other airsoft participants to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a fast 2nd followup shot is not required because the other person is already hit by the airsoft BB and out of the game or going back to respawn. Take care when fighting many different airsoft players since the spring gun just fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring pistols are remarkably efficient under the best circumstances and airsoft games. Their FPS generally chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12g airsoft BBs. These handguns typically fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the springs are less effective than other types of airsoft guns like SMGs. Spring pistols can generally be accurate at up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however the ability to engage targets diminishes rapidly. Shooting normal 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a shooting distance of about 60 to 80 feet with heightened precision.
Info on AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to bring as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s handle. They function similar to an AEG SMG and use pressured air with electrically cycled pistons and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol mags normally can carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has risen considerably recently. The earliest gen AEP guns were a little bit questionable and undependable, but the newer designs have the problems resolved and make reliable airsoft secondary weapons. They can be further modded with increased magazine capacities along with accommodating more powerful batteries.
A substantial benefit of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the capability to rewire the adapters to use a more substantial battery. Depending on the AEG pistol model, you can get a large increase in functionality by using a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) rather than the stock battery.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me to Play with?
Selecting the most ideal airsoft pistol for you depends upon how much you can afford to spend, how much you plan to play airsoft using it, and where you decide to play. Consider a GBB green gas pistol or automatic electric AEP pistol if you have $100 or more to spend on your airsoft handgun. These kinds of guns are usually the best of the best, have great performance, and can be a good airsoft gun to invest in. Check out a CO2 pistol or less expensive GBB handgun if you have about fifty to one-hundred dollars to put towards an airsoft gun purchase. These will still finish the job and are pretty tough sidearms. Look for a cheap CO2 or spring handgun if you have less than $50. You can still get a long lasting airsoft handgun to use for the pistol games.
