How to Pick an Airsoft Pistol
Learn about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as secondary guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Numerous airsoft handguns are completely licensed variations of their actual handgun counterparts and look and run in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than genuine bullets.
There are several types of airsoft sidearms such as CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these forms of sidearms have benefits and differences associated with them. Finding out about the styles of airsoft pistols lets you make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most long-lasting and popular styles of handguns. They are all weather handguns working well in a lot of kinds of weather, varying temperatures, and environments. These handguns use pressurized CO2 gas to move airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within a cylinder and is typically held in the gun’s magazine in the handle.
These kinds of airsoft weapons are exceptional for airsoft games in cold and snowy weather because the high pressure CO2 gas is less prone to variation by low temperature. This fact provides exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for example where other types of handguns like green gas stuffer from low performance or barely shoot airsoft BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft guns are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look like a shiny steel cylinder and hold high pressured CO2 gas comprised of one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms, for this reason the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are attached in the following order “O= C =O”. The gas is stored in the 12 gram cartridge cylinders under very high pressure of near ~ 800psi which correlates to 55bar.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, but as soon as they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft weapon breaks the seal) they will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if they are kept sealed. They have the manufacturer’s use by date typically printed on the box or cylinder, however they will likely survive for a long period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not tampered with.
Green Gas Airsoft Pistol Facts
Green gas airsoft pistols are comparable to CO2 pistols, however they use propane gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The result on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon performance is almost the exact same as CO2 pistols with the guns at around 300+ FPS.
The propane gas is kept in the handgun’s magazine which can typically hold in-between 15 to 20+ BBs based on the pistol design. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and o-rings keep the gas stored in the mag before the pistol’s trigger is pulled.
When running a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a main or backup gun, bringing extra handgun magazines is recommended for quickly reloading and engaging the op force. Having additional magazines on-hand helps you re engage in the action during firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas handguns are excellent for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles and full-sized AEGs are generally not approved to be used during 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 hurt. While green gas handguns still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel assists to keep the joules and energy pushing the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different styles of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs and non-blowback pistols. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas normally can be used very well on the airsoft field, it does have constraints. When green gas and GBB guns are used over the winter in the snow or in cold weather conditions (such as under 32 degrees F). Given that the green gas or propane is stored in the magazine by rubber seals and gaskets, cold temperatures can impair these seals and allow the gas to escape prior to shooting airsoft BBs. The decrease in pressure can make the airsoft BBs to only shoot several feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the pistol would ordinarily shoot BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather conditions).
One solution to this issue is to make the GBB pistol mags warmer by holding them next to your body before game play. This can help to heat up the seals and valves and better seal in the green gas. If you definitely want to play with a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold, it might also be better to check out a CO2 variation of your preferred pistol. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and the gun will shoot better in sub-freezing temperatures and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Handgun Facts
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by powerful springs that launch the airsoft BBs down the pistol barrel. They are normally able to only shoot one BB. The manual actions of reloading, shooting, and cocking spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns. When fighting against opponents on the airsoft field with advanced weaponry, auto airsoft AEG assault rifles, sniper rifles, and CO2 or GBB airsoft pistols, this can make spring guns entertaining to use, however less effective.
Spring handguns work the best in springer wars where airsoft players can solely use similar, single shot spring pistols or as an alternative backup weapon for CQB buildings when you can usually sneak up to other airsoft players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a fast second follow-up shot isn’t needed due to the fact that the other player is already hit by the first shot and out of the game play or running back to respawn. Look out when attacking multiple adversaries because the gun only shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring handguns are very useful under the best scenarios. Spring handguns can typically shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however the ability to hit targets decreases quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistol Details
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to bring into the field as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s butt. They function just like an AEG gun and use pressurized air with electrically cycled gearboxes, pistons, and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol magazines typically store around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs as high as around 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS when loaded with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electric battery powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute assuming you have enough spare mags to reload the gun and the battery holds out that long. These handguns can effectively fire airsoft BBs at around 150 foot ranges.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually risen substantially in the last few years. The earliest gen guns were a little bit unreliable and questionable, however the latest versions have most of the bugs resolved and make effective airsoft backup weapons. They can be modded with enhanced mag capacities in addition to accommodating more powerful batteries.
A large advantage of using an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the connections to use a bigger battery. Depending on the AEG handgun style, you can get a big jump in efficiency by employing a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock battery.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me?
Picking out the most ideal airsoft sidearm for you depends on your gun budget, how often you would like to play airsoft with it, and where you plan to play. Look into a green gas blowback handgun or AEP handgun if you have more than one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft handgun. These are normally the best of the best, have good build qualities, and are usually a good sidearm to purchase. If you can afford between more than $50 but less than $100 to use for your gun, have a look at a CO2 handgun or cheaper green gas handgun. Mid-tier guns like these will still be fun to play with and are resilient sidearms. If you have $50 or less, try to find a lower end CO2 or spring handgun. You can still buy a strong airsoft pistol to use for the handgun airsoft guns.
