How to Pick an Airsoft Pistol
Find information about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as secondary guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Many airsoft pistols are fully manufacturer licensed editions of their genuine weapon equivalents and look and run in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than real bullets.
There are several types of airsoft sidearms including CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these forms of sidearms come with benefits and differences associated with them. Learning more about the types of airsoft handguns allows you to figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most long-lasting and standard styles of handguns. They are all-season, all-weather pistols and function well in lots of types of extreme temperatures, weather and environments. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to propel airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within the cylinder and is usually located in the handgun’s handle.
These styles of airsoft pistols are great for airsoft games in cooler weather conditions because the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less vulnerable to FPS decreases caused by temperature. This fact provides great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter season for instance where other kinds of airsoft guns like green gas stop performing or hardly shoot BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by typical 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a chrome metal cylinder and contain high pressured CO2 gas made up of a single carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms, hence the molecular formula comes out to be “C + O2 “. These atoms are connected in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cartridges under really high pressure of about ~ 800psi which translates to 55bar.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely inside, but once they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft pistol breaks the cartridge seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the chance to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the remaining gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime. They come with a maker’s best used by date typically listed on the package or cartridge, but they can maintain pressure for a prolonged period past this date if the cartridge seals are not tampered with.
Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft pistols are comparable to CO2 pistols, however they use propane gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The impact on the battleground and green gas weapon efficiency is almost the very same as CO2 handguns with the weapons around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is stored in the handgun’s mag which can often hold in-between 15 to 20+ BBs based on the pistol type. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and silicone seals keep the gas stored in the mag until the handgun’s trigger is pulled.
When running a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a main or secondary gun, bringing additional mags is encouraged for quickly reloading and engaging opponents. Having extra mags helps you reengage in the action during firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields considering that long guns and full-sized AEGs are generally not enabled to be used for indoor engagements. This is an essential safety regulation due to the close quarters distance of players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas handguns still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel assists to keep the joules and energy moving the BB at a decreased level compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various forms of green gas airsoft pistols. First, there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These handguns run like an actual handgun with the pistol slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. When a new airsoft BB is chambered, the gas triggers the slide to cycle. This cycling is really cool, however the GBB pistols often cost more and potentially have more to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns use a stationary slide which does not move. The non-blowback weapons typically cost less than GBBs. Performance is around the same between the two styles of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Since the green gas or propane gas is housed in the handgun magazine by using rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold temperatures can affect these o-rings and allow the stored gas to leak out before shooting. The lack of pressure can make the airsoft BBs to simply shoot a number of feet away (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when the gun would usually shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temperatures).
One option to fix this issue is to keep the GBB pistol magazines warmer by placing them close to your body before airsoft game play. This can help to warm the seals and help to seal in the green gas. It can also be worth buying a CO2 version of your favorite handgun if you truly need to play with a trustworthy airsoft pistol in the cold. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and perform far better in sub-freezing temperatures and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Pistol Information
Spring airsoft guns are powered by powerful springs with irregular pitches that send the BBs out of the handgun’s barrel. The manual actions of cocking, reloading, and firing spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols.
Spring sidearms perform best in springer wars where game players can only use related, single shot spring handguns or as a close quarters backup weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can usually surprise other airsoft participants to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a quick second follow-up shot isn’t called for considering that the other person is already struck and out of the game or headed back to respawn. Take care when attacking numerous players considering the spring gun only shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring guns are remarkably efficient under the right circumstances. Their FPS often chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12g airsoft BBs. These guns generally fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the pitched springs are less powerful than other types of airsoft guns like rifles. Spring handguns can generally shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs however precision reduces rapidly. Shooting standard 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a decreased range of around 60 to 80 feet or less with improved target accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handgun Info
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to bring into the field as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s grip. They operate much like an AEG SMG and use pressurized air forced through electrically cycled pistons and gearboxes to shoot airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG pistol magazines normally hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can launch airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has increased considerably in recent years. The early gen guns were a little bit sketchy and undependable, however the new models have the issues worked out and make efficient airsoft secondary guns. They can be further modded with increased mag capacities in addition to accommodating more powerful batteries.
A big advantage of using an AEG pistol is that you have the capacity to rewire the connectors to use a larger battery. Depending on the AEG handgun type, you may be able to gain a substantial jump in performance and fire rate by using a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) instead of the standard AEP battery. Take care of changing the elements and the gun’s wires because you must think about the volts, mAh, and electrical loads of the battery. Ask a qualified airsoft tech at your closest airsoft store or shop if you have modding problems.
What Airsoft Handgun is Right for Me to Buy?
If you have more than one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft handgun, check out a green gas blowback pistol or automatic electric handgun. If you have around $50 to $100 to spend, look at a good quality CO2 pistol or cheaper GBB pistol. You can still get a durable airsoft handgun by checking out lower end pistols and by trading with players selling used airsoft handguns if you are on a budget.
