How to Choose an Airsoft Handgun
Learn more about airsoft handguns and how you can use them as backup weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the ideal handgun and practicing with it can make all the difference in improving your shots. Handguns, by nature, are diminished range airsoft guns. They are quite often manufactured after genuine guns or copies of real handguns. A lot of airsoft pistols are fully licensed adaptations of their real world weapon equivalents. These airsoft guns can handle in the same ways and look and feel identically to the real guns they are designed around while blasting airsoft BBs rather than real-world bullets.
There are a few types of airsoft handguns such as CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric sidearms. Each of these kinds of sidearms have benefits and differences related to them. Learning about the kinds of airsoft sidearms lets you decide which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft pistols are among the most heavy-duty and typical kinds of handguns. They are all-season weapons and work well in a lot of kinds of temperatures, weather and climates. These sidearms use pressurized CO2 gas to force airsoft BBs down the handgun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within the cylinder and is usually held in the pistol’s handle.
These types of airsoft pistols are great for playing in colder weather conditions due to the fact that the pressurized CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less prone to performance decreases by temperature levels. This fact gives CO2 airsoft sidearms very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for example where other kinds of pistols like green gas stop performing or hardly fire pellets.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft guns are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges resemble a chrome metal cylinder and store high pressure CO2 gas made up of 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms, therefore the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are bonded in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is stored in the 12 gram cylinders under really high pressure of about ~ 800psi that correlates to 55bar.
The CO2 gas cartridge cylinders are not refillable and you can commonly buy them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to preserve the CO2 gas securely within, once they are opened (firing them inside of an airsoft handgun breaks the cartridge seal) they will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. You must attempt to use up the entire CO2 cartridge the very same day you open the seal. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the remaining extra gas. There is no gas level indicator on the cartridge so you need to shoot up until the gun stops shooting airsoft BBs.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while. They do have a supplier’s expiry date normally noted on the box or cylinder, however they will probably maintain pressure for a very long period past this date if the cartridge seals are not tampered with.
Info About Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 pistols, however they use green gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The result on the battleground and green gas weapon performance is almost the exact same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to 300+ FPS.
The propane is stored in the handgun’s airsoft mag which can typically hold around 15 to 20+ BBs based on the pistol style. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas pressurized in the mag till the pistol’s trigger is pulled.
When carrying a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a primary or backup weapon, bringing additional mags is highly recommended for quickly reloading and engaging the op force. Having additional magazines allows you to re-engage in the action throughout firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas handguns are excellent for CQB at airsoft fields because rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are usually not approved to be used during indoor shooting. This is a safety regulation due to the close range proximity of airsoft players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas handguns can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy propelling the BB lower compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different types of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback pistols. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
While green gas typically can be used very well on the airsoft field, it does have limitations. When they are used in the winter in the snow or in colder temps (such as below 32 deg F). Given that the green gas or propane is kept in the mag by rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, low temperatures can negatively impact the seals and trigger the stored gas to escape before firing the handgun. This can cause the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when it would typically shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer weather).
One option to this issue is to make the GBB pistol mags warmer by putting them next to your body or near a heat source prior to game play starts. If you truly want to play with a dependable airsoft pistol in the cold weather, it might also be worth getting a CO2 variation of your preferred pistol.
Info on Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong coil springs that shoot the BBs out of the pistol’s barrel. The manual actions of cocking, shooting, and reloading spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB guns.
Spring airsoft guns perform most effectively in springer wars where players can exclusively use related, single shot spring weapons or as a close quarters weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can frequently sneak up to other airsoft players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a rapid 2nd follow-up shot isn’t called for because the other person is now hit by the first shot and out of the game or heading back to respawn. Be careful when engaging many different enemies considering the spring gun only fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Handgun Effectiveness
Spring handguns are extremely efficient under the proper scenarios. Spring handguns can normally fire up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs however target accuracy decreases quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to carry as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s handle. They operate much like an AEG SMG and use forced air with electrically cycled gearboxes, pistons, and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG pistol mags usually carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can launch airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has increased substantially in the last few years. The earliest gen AEP guns were a bit questionable and undependable, however the more recent models have most of the problems worked out and make reliable airsoft secondary weapons. They can be further upgraded with maximized mag capacities as well as accommodating more powerful batteries.
A big perk of using an AEG handgun is that you have the ability to rewire the connectors to use an increased capacity battery with longer life. Depending on the AEG handgun type, you can gain a big output in functionality by utilizing a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as an alternative to the standard mini battery. Take extra precautions when adjusting the elements and wires because you must take into account the volts, mAh, and loads of the batteries. If you have modding concerns, ask an experienced airsoft tech at your closest airsoft store or shop.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me to Buy?
Picking out the most ideal airsoft handgun for you depends on how much you can afford, how much you want to play airsoft using it, and where you hope to play. If you can afford at least one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft pistol, take a look at a green gas blowback or GBB handgun or AEP pistol. These kinds of pistols are normally the top-tier guns, have the very best performance, and can be an excellent gun to get. If you have in-between more than $50 but less than $100 to spend on upgrading your airsoft arsenal, check out a CO2 pistol or a more affordable green gas handgun. These mid-tier guns will still function well and will be pretty resilient sidearms. Look for a cheap CO2 or spring pistol if you have less than $50. You can still find a durable airsoft pistol to use for the handgun airsoft guns.
