How to Choose an Airsoft Pistol
Find out about airsoft sidearms and 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 sidearm can make all the difference in the accuracy of your shots. Sidearms, by nature, are much shorter range airsoft weapons. They are generally made after authentic guns or reproductions of actual handguns. Lots of airsoft sidearms are completely licensed adaptations of their authentic pistol equivalents. These airsoft guns can function (except for shooting bullets) in the same ways and look and feel identical to the real guns they are modeled after while blasting airsoft BBs instead of genuine bullets.
There are a number of kinds of airsoft pistols such as CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric sidearms. Each of these forms of handguns have negatives and positives associated with them. Learning about the types of airsoft sidearms lets you decide which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Handgun Details
CO2 airsoft handguns are among the most popular and heavy-duty types of pistols. They are all-season guns and function well in lots of kinds of weather, extreme temperatures, and climates. These pistols use pressurized CO2 gas to push airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel. The CO2 cartridge is usually held in the gun’s magazine inside the handle.
These types of airsoft guns are good for playing airsoft in colder weather conditions because the pressurized CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less susceptible to performance variations by low temperature. This fact gives CO2 airsoft guns exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for example where other varieties of guns like green gas stop performing or barely fire airsoft BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by common 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look like a shiny cylinder and contain high pressure CO2 gas composed of just one carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The CO2 cartridges cannot be refilled and you can normally buy them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely and securely within, once they are opened (firing them inside of an airsoft weapon breaks the seal) they will start to lose pressure if they are not expended. You ought to try to burn up the whole CO2 cartridge the same day you open the seal. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas leftover, use the chance to do some pistol accuracy and target practice and expend the remaining additional gas. There is no gas level sign on the cartridge so you have to shoot up until the pistol stops cycling.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while. They do have a maker’s use by date normally listed on the package or cylinder, however, they will survive for a very long time past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Info About Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft sidearms are similar to CO2 pistols, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Rather, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to shoot the airsoft pellets. The result on gameplay and green gas sidearm performance is just about the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to 300+ feet per second (FPS). Shots are efficiently fired in semi-automatic or fully-automatic shooting modes and precisely hit targets at short to mid-range proximities.
The propane gas is kept in the pistol’s airsoft magazine that can frequently hold around 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the handgun model. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone seals keep the gas pressurized in the magazine until the handgun’s trigger is squeezed.
When using a green gas pistol on the airsoft field as a backup or primary weapon, additional magazines are encouraged for quickly reloading. Having extra magazines helps you re-engage in the action during firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas handguns are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles and full-sized AEGs are generally not permitted to be used for indoor game play. This is an essential safety standard due to the close quarters distance of players during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas pistols still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel helps to keep the joules and energy launching the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various types of green gas airsoft pistols. To begin with there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These handguns operate like a legitimate handgun with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. Every time a new airsoft BB is chambered, the gas triggers the slide to cycle. The result is extremely cool, however the GBB pistols typically cost more and possibly have more to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a fixed slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback pistols typically cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is around the same when comparing the two kinds of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas usually performs effectively on the airsoft field, it does have drawbacks. When they are used throughout the winter playing in the snow or in colder temps (like under 32 degrees F). Considering that the green gas or propane is held in the weapon’s magazine by silicone seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold temperatures can impair the seals and allow the gas to leak out prior to shooting. This can cause the airsoft BBs to just shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the gun would normally shoot BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather conditions).
One option to fix this issue is to try to keep the GBB handgun mags warmer by positioning them next to a heat source or by your body before airsoft game play. This can help to warm the seals and valves and better seal in the green gas. If you definitely desire to play airsoft with a dependable airsoft handgun in the cold, it can also be better to check out a CO2 version of your preferred pistol. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and perform far better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
About Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by powerful coil springs that launch the BBs out of the handgun’s barrel. The manual action of firing, cocking, and reloading spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB airsoft guns.
Spring guns perform most effectively in springer battles where players can exclusively use related, single shot spring handguns or as a close quarters combat weapon for CQB environments when you can frequently surprise other airsoft opponents to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a fast second followup shot is not really needed since the other person is already hit by the airsoft BB and out of the game or going back to respawn. When engaging multiple adversaries since the springer just fires as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be careful.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring guns are really reliable under the proper conditions. Their FPS normally chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These weapons normally fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the springs are less effective than other types of airsoft guns. Spring pistols can generally engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but the ability to engage targets accurately is reduced rapidly. Choosing regular 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a reduced shooting distance of about 60 to 80 feet or less with improved precision.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearm Details
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to carry as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are often powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s grip. They operate just like an AEG rifle and use pressured air forced through electrically cycled pistons and gearboxes to shoot airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG handgun mags generally can hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can launch airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually risen significantly in recent years. The first gen AEP guns were a bit undependable and questionable, however the new models have most of the problems worked out and make effective airsoft secondary guns. They can be further modified with enhanced magazine storage capacities along with accommodating more powerful batteries.
A huge perk of buying an AEG pistol is that you have the opportunity to rewire the battery connectors to use an enhanced capacity battery with higher mAh. Based on the AEG pistol model, you may be able to gain a sizable output in functionality by utilizing a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) instead of the standard mini battery. Take extra precautions when tweaking the parts and wires because you have to consider the voltages, mAh, and electrical loads of the battery. Ask a pro gun service technician at your nearest airsoft store if you have modding problems.
What Airsoft Handgun is Best for Me to Buy?
If you have more than one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft handgun, evaluate a green gas blowback pistol or AEG handgun. If you have around $50 to $100 to upgrade your gun, check out a CO2 handgun or less expensive GBB handgun. If you have fifty dollars or less, you can still get a durable airsoft pistol to use for the pistol games.
