How to Choose 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. A lot of airsoft handguns are completely manufactured models of their actual pistol counterparts and look and run in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of genuine bullets.
There are a number of varieties of airsoft pistols such as CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these kinds of handguns come with positives and negatives connected with them. Learning more about the styles of airsoft pistols lets you decide which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most resilient and common types of sidearms. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to move airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel.
These kinds of airsoft pistols are very good for airsoft games in cold and snowy weather conditions considering that the compressed CO2 gas is less prone to FPS decreases with temperature levels. This provides great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for example where other styles of guns like green gas stop performing or barely shoot airsoft BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look like a metal cylinder and hold high pressure CO2 gas made up of one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms, so the molecular formula comes out to be “C + O2 “. These atoms are connected in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is stored in the 12 gram cartridges under extremely high pressure of about ~ 800psi which translates to 55bar.
The CO2 cartridge cylinders cannot be refilled and you can typically order them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to retain the CO2 gas securely inside, but when they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft weapon breaks the cartridge seal) the cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are not used up. You ought to try to deplete 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 excess gas if the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level gauge on the cartridge so you have to shoot until the gun stops firing airsoft BBs.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime if the cylinders are stored sealed. They have the supplier’s expiration date typically marked on the box or cylinder, however they will likely stay pressurized for a very long period past this date if the cartridge seal is not broken.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Pistol Facts
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 handguns, but they use propane gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The operational impact on the battlefield and green gas weapon performance is practically the exact same as CO2 handguns with the guns at around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is kept in the handgun’s grip within the magazine and can commonly hold around 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the gun style. A bunch of valves, silicone stoppers, and o-rings keep the green gas stored in the pistol mag up to when the handgun’s trigger is pulled. It is a great choice to fill up and top off your green gas supply in the mag each time you load it into the gun. Pistol-wielding gamers can additionally carry supplemental bottles of green gas or propane in the field for reloading mags in-between lulls in the battle or between gameplay.
When running a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field or arena as a backup or main gun, extra handgun magazines are suggested for quickly reloading and getting back into the game. Having additional magazines helps you reengage in the action during firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas handguns are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields because long guns and full-sized AEGs are normally not authorized to be used for indoor shooting. This is an essential safety standard due to the close range proximity of airsoft players during the shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas pistols can still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel assists to keep the joules and energy launching the BB lower compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various forms of green gas airsoft pistols. To begin with there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These pistols run like a legitimate pistol with the gun’s slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. The propane triggers the slide to cycle each time a new airsoft BB is chambered. The result is very cool, but the GBB weapons usually are more expensive and potentially have more to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns use a fixed slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback weapons usually cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is around the same when comparing the two styles of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Because the green gas or propane is stored in the magazine by using rubber seals and silicone gaskets, cold temperatures can negatively impact these seals and cause the stored gas to leak out prior to shooting the pistol. The lack of pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to just land a couple of feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the green gas handgun would normally shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather conditions).
One option to fix this issue is to make the GBB pistol mags warmer by positioning them next to a heater or by your body prior to airsoft game play. This can help to heat up the rubber seals and help to seal in the green gas. It might also be worth getting a CO2 version of your favorite pistol if you actually want to play airsoft with a reputable airsoft pistol in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and the gun shoots far better in sub-freezing temperatures and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Sidearm Facts
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by powerful coil springs that launch the airsoft BBs down the gun barrel. They are generally able to only shoot one BB at a time. The manual functioning of reloading, shooting, and cocking spring airsoft guns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns. When fighting against attackers on the airsoft field with advanced weaponry, automatic airsoft AEG assault rifles and CO2 or GBB airsoft handguns, this can make them fun to use, but less effective.
Spring sidearms work the best in springer battles where opponents can solely use similar, single shot spring pistols or as a transitional backup gun for CQB environments when you can usually surprise other airsoft game players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a rapid second followup shot isn’t needed since the other player is now hit by the first BB and out of the game or heading back to respawn. When engaging several foes considering that the weapon simply shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be careful.
About Spring Handgun Efficiency
Spring handguns are very efficient under the best circumstances. Spring pistols can typically fire up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but precision decreases rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistol Details
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also an option to carry as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s butt. They function much like an AEG SMG and use pressured air forced through electrically cycled cylinders, pistons, and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol mags normally store around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs approximately about 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electrically powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute which is estimated if you have enough spare mags to reload (after every 20 to 30 rounds) and the battery holds out that long. These AEP pistols can accurately fire airsoft BBs at around 150 foot ranges.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has increased considerably recently. The earliest generations were a little bit questionable and undependable, but the new models have the deficiencies worked out and make efficient airsoft secondary guns. They can be modded with increased magazine storage capacities and also accommodating larger batteries.
A huge benefit of using an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the adapters to use a larger battery. Depending on the AEG pistol style, you can get a big output in performance by taking advantage of a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) rather than the stock AEP battery.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me to Play with?
Looking for the most ideal airsoft sidearm for you depends on how much you can afford, how often you would like to play airsoft using it, and where you plan to play. Consider a green gas blowback pistol or AEG handgun if you have more than one-hundred dollars to invest on your airsoft handgun. These are usually the best of the best, have great build qualities, and can be a great handgun to buy. If you have about $50 to $100 to devote to your airsoft gun purchase, take a look at a CO2 pistol or a 2nd-tier green gas handgun. These mid-tier guns will still get the job done and can be tough sidearms. Look for a cheaper CO2 or spring pistol if you have less than fifty dollars. You can still find a heavy-duty airsoft pistol to use for the pistol airsoft guns.
