How to Pick an Airsoft Pistol
Learn about airsoft handguns and sidearms and how you can use them as extra guns or as core weapons on the airsoft playing field. Numerous airsoft pistols are fully approved and licensed replications of their real firearm counterparts and operate and appear in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than authentic bullets.
There are several kinds of airsoft handguns such as CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these varieties of handguns have benefits and differences related to them. Finding out about the styles of airsoft pistols allows you to figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most standard and long-lasting types of handguns. These handguns use pressurized CO2 gas to push airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel.
These styles of airsoft pistols are great choices for playing airsoft in colder weather conditions since the high pressure CO2 gas is less susceptible to FPS decreases caused by temperature. This offers exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for instance where other types of airsoft guns like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly fire pellets.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges resemble a chrome metal cylinder and store high pressured CO2 gas composed of a single carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, so the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are bound in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cylinders under really high pressure of roughly ~ 800psi which converts to 55bar.
The CO2 gas cylinders cannot be used multiple times and you can typically purchase them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to preserve the CO2 gas safely within, once they are opened (firing them in an airsoft handgun breaks the seal) cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are not used up. You need to try to run through the entire CO2 cartridge the very same day you open the seal. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some pistol target practice and burn up the remainder of the excess gas. There is no gas level guide on the cartridge so you have to shoot until the pistol stops shooting airsoft BBs.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while if the cylinders are stored sealed. They are made with the supplier’s use by date normally printed on the box or cartridge, however they will likely survive for a prolonged time past this date if the cartridge seal is not tampered with.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 pistols, however they use green gas or propane instead of CO2 cartridges. The impact on the battleground and green gas weapon efficiency is almost the same as CO2 pistols with the guns at about 300+ FPS.
The propane gas is kept in the handgun’s magazine that can typically hold between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the handgun style. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and o-rings keep the gas stored in the magazine until the pistol’s trigger is pulled.
When running a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or backup weapon, bringing additional mags is highly recommended for quickly reloading and engaging the op force. Having additional magazines allows you to get back in the action during firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas pistols are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are typically not enabled to be used for indoor shooting. This is a safety regulation due to the close quarters proximity of airsoft players during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas handguns can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy propelling the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various kinds of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs and non-blowback pistols. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane gas is stored in the mag by rubber seals, o-rings, and silicone gaskets, cold weather can affect these seals and cause the stored gas to leak out before shooting the pistol. The lack of pressure can make the airsoft BBs to merely land a number of feet away (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the pistol would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather).
One fix to this issue is to keep the GBB handgun magazines warmer by putting them next to your body or by a heater just before game play starts. If you really want to play with a reliable airsoft pistol in the cold weather, it might also be worth getting a CO2 version of your favorite pistol.
About Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that fire the BBs out of the handgun’s barrel. The manual functioning of reloading, cocking, and firing spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols.
Spring airsoft guns work best in springer battles where opponents can just use related, single shot spring weapons or as an alternative backup weapon for CQB settings when you can frequently quietly sneak up on other airsoft opponents to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a rapid second follow-up shot will not be required since the other person is already struck and out of the gameplay or headed back to respawn. When engaging several rivals because the spring airsoft gun just shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be careful.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring guns are incredibly efficient under the appropriate situations. Spring guns like pistols can normally shoot accurately up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to engage targets decreases quickly.
Details About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to bring as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s handle. They work similar to an AEG rifle and use pressured air pumped through electrically cycled cylinders, pistons, and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very quickly at that.
AEG handgun mags generally can hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs as high as about 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or about 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electric gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute which depends if you have enough spare mags to reload the gun and the battery lasts that long. These handguns can precisely fire airsoft BBs at around 150 foot ranges.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has actually grown considerably in recent years. The initial gens were a little bit questionable and unreliable, but the new designs have most of the deficiencies worked out and make reliable airsoft backup weapons. They can be improved with maximized mag capacities along with accommodating larger batteries.
A significant advantage of using an AEG pistol is that you have the power to rewire the adapters to use a more substantial battery. Depending on the AEG handgun type, you can gain a substantial increase in performance by adopting a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) instead of the stock AEP battery.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me to Buy?
Finding the ideal airsoft handgun for you depends upon how much you can afford, how often you plan to play airsoft using it, and where you hope to play. Consider a GBB pistol or AEP handgun if you have more than $100 to spend on your airsoft pistol. These kinds of handguns are normally the best of the best, have the most effective efficiency, and could be a great airsoft gun to invest in. If you have between more than fifty but less than one-hundred dollars to spend on upgrading your airsoft arsenal, take a look at a CO2 pistol or cheaper green gas blowback handgun. Middle of the road guns like these will still finish the job and will be resilient sidearms. Look for a lower end CO2 or spring handgun if you have less than fifty dollars. You can still buy a long-lasting airsoft pistol to use for the handgun games.
