How to Choose an Airsoft Handgun
Find out about airsoft guns like pistols and how you can use them as backup weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the ideal sidearm and practicing with it can be a game changer in aiming your shots. Pistols, by nature, are shorter range airsoft guns. They are quite often crafted after actual guns or imitations of real pistols. A lot of airsoft sidearms are fully licensed variations of their actual gun equivalents. These airsoft guns can operate in the same ways and visually appear identical to the real guns they are designed after while shooting airsoft BBs as opposed to real world bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns such as CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these forms of sidearms have negatives and positives connected with them. Finding out about the kinds of airsoft pistols allows you to figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft pistols are among the most heavy-duty and common styles of handguns. They are all-season handguns working well in lots of types of temperatures, weather and climates. These pistols use pressurized CO2 gas to move airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within a cylinder and is normally kept in the gun’s mag inside the handle.
These kinds of airsoft handguns are good for playing in cooler weather conditions considering that the compressed CO2 gas is less susceptible to variation with temperature levels. This provides exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for example where other kinds of airsoft pistols like green gas stop operating or hardly shoot BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by typical 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look like a shiny metallic cylinder and hold high pressure CO2 gas consisting of one carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The CO2 gas cartridges cannot be refilled and you can usually buy them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely inside, once they are punctured (firing them inside of an airsoft handgun breaks the cartridge seal) cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are not expended. You should try to deplete the entire CO2 cartridge the exact same day you open the seal. Use the opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas if the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level guide on the cartridge so you have to shoot until the weapon stops firing airsoft BBs.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They are made with the maker’s use by date usually printed on the package or cylinder, however they may stay pressurized for an extended time past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 pistols, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Instead, they use green gas or propane for propellant to fire the airsoft BBs. The operational impact on the battlefield and green gas weapon operation is almost the same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to about 300+ FPS. Shots are efficiently fired in automatic or semi-automatic firing modes and can hit targets at shorter to mid-range proximities.
The propane gas is held in the pistol’s airsoft magazine which can frequently hold around 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the pistol style. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and o-rings keep the gas pressurized in the mag until the handgun’s trigger is squeezed.
When carrying a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or backup weapon, additional mags are highly recommended for rapidly reloading and engaging opponents. Having additional magazines on-hand allows you to join in the action in the middle of firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas pistols are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields considering rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are typically not approved to be used for indoor game play. This is an essential safety standard due to the close quarters distance of airsoft players during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas handguns still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy moving the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various types of green gas airsoft handguns. To begin with there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These guns operate like a genuine handgun with the pistol slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. The propane gas induces the slide to cycle when a brand-new airsoft BB is chambered. The result is extremely cool, however the GBB guns typically cost more and likely have more that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a fixed slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback pistols generally cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is around the same between the two varieties of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas usually can be used effectively, it does have restrictions. For example, when they are played with during the winter airsoft games in the snow or in colder temperatures (like under 32 degrees F). Because the green gas or propane is stored in the magazine by silicone seals and gaskets, cold weather can impact the seals and allow the gas to escape before 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 usually shoot BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temperatures).
One fix for this challenge is to keep the GBB handgun magazines warmer by placing them next to a heat source or by your body prior to airsoft game play. This can help to heat up the seals and help to seal in the green gas. If you honestly want to use a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold, it might also be better to get a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and the gun shoots far better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Info on Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft guns are powered by powerful springs with irregular pitches that shoot the BBs out of the pistol’s barrel. The manual action of reloading, firing, and cocking spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns.
Spring sidearms and guns perform the best in springer battles where game players can only use related, single shot spring handguns or as a close quarters combat backup gun for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can usually sneak up to other airsoft opponents to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a quick second followup shot is not called for since the other person is now hit by the first BB and out of the game play or headed back to respawn. When engaging many different airsoft players given that the spring gun just shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be careful.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring pistols are really useful under the best conditions during games. Spring handguns can commonly shoot accurately up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however the ability to engage targets decreases quickly.
Details About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to use as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s handle. They function just like an AEG SMG and use pressured air with electrically cycled gearboxes and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol magazines generally can hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually increased considerably over the last few years. The first generation AEP guns were a little bit unreliable and questionable, however the more recent designs have most of the problems worked out and make efficient airsoft secondary guns. They can be further modified with increased magazine capacities together with accommodating more powerful batteries.
A large advantage of using an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the adapters to use an enhanced capacity battery with higher mAh. Based on the AEG handgun style, you are able to gain a sizable boost in efficiency utilizing a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) rather than the standard battery. Take care of changing the elements and the gun’s wires because you must consider the voltages, mAh, and electrical loads of the battery. Ask a pro airsoft gun specialist at your local airsoft store if you have modding issues.
What Airsoft Handgun is Right for Me to Buy?
Choosing the ideal airsoft handgun for you depends on your gun budget, how often you wish to play airsoft with it, and where you hope to play. Take a look at a GBB pistol or AEP pistol if you have over $100 to spend on your airsoft pistol. These are typically the top-tier guns, have the greatest build qualities, and are usually a great investment. If you have in-between fifty to one-hundred dollars to spend, have a look at a CO2 handgun or a cheaper green gas handgun. These will still do the job and will be pretty sturdy sidearms. Look for a low end CO2 or spring handgun if you have less than $50. You can still find a strong airsoft pistol to use for the pistol airsoft guns.
