How to Pick an Airsoft Handgun
Learn more about airsoft handguns and how you can use them as backup weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your shot accuracy and getting the ideal handgun can be a game changer in the accuracy of your shots. Pistols, by nature, are much shorter range airsoft weapons. They are usually produced after real guns or copies of authentic handguns. Many different airsoft pistols are fully certified releases of their real world weapon equivalents. These airsoft guns can visually appear and function (sans shooting bullets) in the same ways similarly to the real guns they are modeled after while shooting airsoft BBs in place of real world bullets.
There are a number of kinds of airsoft handguns including CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these kinds of pistols come with benefits and differences related to them. Finding out about the varieties of airsoft handguns allows you to decide which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft guns are one of the most popular and long-lasting types of handguns. These handguns use sealed CO2 gas cylinders to force airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel.
These types of airsoft pistols are excellent for playing in colder weather considering that the pressurized CO2 gas is less vulnerable to performance variations with temperature levels. This fact gives CO2 airsoft sidearms great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for instance where other kinds of airsoft pistols like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly shoot pellets.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look like a chrome metal cylinder and contain high pressured CO2 gas made up of one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms, subsequently the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are connected in the following order “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cylinders under very high pressure of about ~ 800psi that correlates to 55bar.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, but soon after they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft weapon breaks the cartridge 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 additional gas.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while if the cylinders are kept sealed. They are made with the manufacturer’s best used by date usually marked on the box or cylinder, but they may stay pressurized for a long time past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft pistols are similar to CO2 pistols, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. The operational impact on the battleground and green gas weapon efficiency is almost the exact same as CO2 handguns with the weapons at about 300+ FPS.
The green gas is stored in the handgun’s mag which can frequently hold in-between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending upon the handgun style. A bunch of valves, silicone gaskets, and o-rings keep the green gas pressurized in the magazine until the handgun’s trigger is squeezed. It is a good plan to fill up and top off the propane reserves in your magazine each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding gamers can additionally bring surplus bottles of propane in the field for reloading between breaks in the fight or between missions.
When bringing a green gas pistol on the airsoft field as a secondary or main weapon, extra pistol mags are strongly recommended for rapidly reloading and getting back into the game. Having additional mags helps you re engage in the action during firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are excellent for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are usually not allowed to be used during indoor game play. This is an essential safety guideline because of the close quarters proximity of airsoft players during the shooting engagements. While green gas handguns can still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy forcing the BB lower compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different types of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback pistols. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas usually works extremely well, it does have constraints. This includes when green gas guns are played with during the winter in the snow or in colder temperatures (like under 32 degrees F). Given that the green gas or propane is held in the pistol mag using silicone seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold temperatures can impair these seals and cause the gas to leak out prior to shooting airsoft BBs. This can make the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when it would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer weather).
One option to fix this challenge is to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by holding them near your body prior to airsoft game play. This can help to heat up the rubber seals and better seal in the green gas. It may also be worth checking out a CO2 version of your favorite handgun if you truly need to play airsoft with a trustworthy airsoft pistol in the cold. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and the gun shoots much better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Facts About Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by powerful coil springs that propel the BBs down the handgun barrel. They are generally able to only shoot one BB at a time. The manual action of firing, reloading, and cocking spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns. This makes spring guns entertaining to use, but they are usually less efficient when going up against opponents on the airsoft field with advanced weaponry like auto airsoft AEG rifles and CO2 or GBB airsoft handguns.
Spring sidearms work most effectively in springer battles where game players can just use similar, single shot spring weapons or as a transitional weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can often sneak up to other airsoft participants to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a quick second follow-up shot is not called for considering that the other opponent is now hit by the first BB and out of the gameplay or headed back to respawn. Take care when engaging many different adversaries due to the fact that the springer just shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring pistols are incredibly effective under the proper circumstances. Spring guns like pistols can usually shoot accurately up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12 gram BBs but precision reduces quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearm Facts
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to carry as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are often powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s grip. They function similar to an AEG rifle and use compressed air forced through electrically cycled pistons and cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very quickly at that.
AEG handgun magazines typically carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has actually risen substantially in recent years. The earliest generations were a bit questionable and undependable, but the latest designs have the problems resolved and make efficient airsoft secondary weapons. They can be modified with maximized mag capacities in addition to accommodating more powerful batteries.
A substantial advantage of using an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the wires to use an enhanced capacity battery. Depending on the AEG handgun version, you are able to get a sizable output in functionality by using a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) rather than the stock mini battery. Take care of adjusting the elements and the gun’s wires since you need to take into account the volts, mAh, and electrical loads of the battery. If you have customization concerns, ask an experienced gun tech at your nearest airsoft shop.
What Airsoft Handgun is Best for Me?
If you have more than one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft pistol, you may want to consider a GBB handgun or AEG pistol. If you have between $50 to $100 to buy a gun, review a good quality CO2 handgun or cheaper GBB handgun. If you are on a budget, you can still find a long lasting airsoft handgun to use for the handgun games by checking out lower end pistols and by shopping the used gun market.
