How to Pick an Airsoft Pistol
Find out about airsoft handguns and pistols and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your accuracy and getting the right sidearm can be a game changer in the accuracy of your shots. Pistols, naturally, are short range airsoft guns. They are usually created after authentic sidearms or clones of legitimate pistols. Many different airsoft pistols are fully certified models of their real handgun counterparts. These airsoft guns can look and function (without shooting bullets) in the same ways almost identically to the real guns they are designed after while firing airsoft BBs instead of actual bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft sidearms including 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. Finding out about the kinds of airsoft handguns allows you to choose which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
About CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft handguns are among the most common and durable varieties of handguns. They are all-weather pistols and work well in a lot of kinds of extreme temperatures, weather and climates. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to force airsoft BBs down the pistol barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas and is normally housed in the gun’s magazine.
These kinds of airsoft handguns are very good for playing in cooler weather since the compressed CO2 gas is less vulnerable to FPS decreases with low temperature. This fact offers very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter season for instance where other types of airsoft guns like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly fire pellets.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges resemble a metal cylinder and store high pressure CO2 gas composed of just one carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The CO2 cylinders are not multiple-use and you can typically purchase them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to preserve the CO2 gas securely inside, once they are punctured (firing them in an airsoft gun breaks the seal) cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are not expended. You need to attempt to dissipate the entire CO2 cartridge the very same day you open the seal. Use the chance to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas if the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level indication on the cartridge so you have to shoot until the handgun stops shooting.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime if the cylinders are kept sealed. They come with a manufacturer’s best used by date usually printed on the box or cartridge, however, they may survive for an extended time past this date if the cartridge seal is not punctured.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Pistol Facts
Green gas airsoft sidearms function similarly to CO2 handguns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Instead, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to shoot 6mm airsoft pellets. The outcome on the battlefield and green gas handgun functionality is essentially the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to 300+ feet-per-second (FPS). Shots are efficiently fired in semi-automatic or fully-automatic shooting modes and accurate at very short to mid-range ranges.
The propane is kept in the pistol’s airsoft magazine which can typically hold around 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the pistol style. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and o-rings keep the gas pressurized in the mag before the pistol’s trigger is pulled.
When carrying a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a backup or primary weapon, bringing extra magazines is advised for quickly reloading and getting back into the game. Having additional mags helps you re engage in the action in the course of firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas pistols are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields considering rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are typically not permitted to be used during indoor shooting. This is a safety rule due to the close range proximity of airsoft players during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas pistols still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy moving the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different sorts of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback handguns. 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 magazine using rubber seals and silicone gaskets, cold weather can affect these o-rings and allow the gas to escape before shooting the gun. The decrease in pressure can make the airsoft BBs to just land a number of feet (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when the pistol would typically shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temperatures).
One option to fix this challenge is to try to keep the GBB handgun mags warmer by holding them close to your body prior to game play. This can help to warm the seals, gaskets, and valves and better seal in the green gas. It may also be worth buying a CO2 version of your favorite pistol if you really prefer to play airsoft with a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and the gun will shoot better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Sidearm Info
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong coil springs that propel the BBs out of the pistol barrel. The manual functions of reloading, cocking, and firing spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB guns.
Spring sidearms work most effectively in springer battles where game players can exclusively use comparable, single shot spring weapons or as a close quarters combat weapon for CQB buildings when you can frequently quietly sneak up on other airsoft opponents to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a fast 2nd followup shot isn’t really needed because the other person is already struck and out of the game or moving back to respawn. When engaging a number of rivals because the spring gun just fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be careful.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring handguns are quite efficient under the most ideal game conditions. Their FPS normally chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These pistols generally fire lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the springs are less powerful than other styles of airsoft guns like rifles. Spring pistols can normally shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to engage targets diminishes rapidly. Shooting basic 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a range of around 60 to 80 feet with improved accuracy.
About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to bring into the field as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s handle. They function much like an AEG SMG and use forced air with electrically cycled pistons and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very quickly at that.
AEG handgun magazines normally can hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12g airsoft BBs or around 200 to 250 FPS when loaded with 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electric battery powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute which is estimated if you have enough spare magazines to reload (after every 20 to 30 shots) and the battery lasts that long. These AEP handguns can effectively shoot airsoft BBs at around 150 foot distances.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has increased considerably recently. The earliest gens were a little bit unreliable and questionable, but the new versions have most of the issues resolved and make effective airsoft secondary guns. They can be further modded with maximized mag capacities in addition to accommodating bigger batteries.
A large advantage of using an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the connections to use a larger battery. Depending on the AEG pistol model, you can get a sizable jump in efficiency by using a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as an alternative for the stock battery.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me to Play with?
If you have over one-hundred dollars to use to buy your airsoft pistol, check out a green gas blowback handgun or automatic electric pistol. If you have around $50 to $100 to invest, evaluate a good quality CO2 pistol or more affordable GBB pistol. You can still get a durable airsoft pistol by checking out cheaper pistols and by trading with other players in the used airsoft gun market if you are on a budget.
