How to Choose an Airsoft Pistol
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. Practicing your accuracy and getting the best handgun can be a game changer in improving your shots. Pistols, naturally, are diminished range airsoft weapons. They are frequently designed after real guns or replicas of authentic handguns. Quite a few airsoft pistols are fully licensed versions of their real world pistol counterparts. These airsoft guns can run in the same ways and look and feel identically to the real guns they are designed around while blasting airsoft BBs in place of real world bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols including CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these styles of sidearms have benefits and differences connected with them. Finding out about the styles of airsoft sidearms allows you to decide which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft pistols are among the most tough and standard types of pistols. They are all-season handguns and operate well in a lot of kinds of weather and environments. These pistols use pressurized CO2 gas to move airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel. The CO2 cartridge is usually kept in the handgun’s magazine.
These kinds of airsoft weapons are very good for playing in cold temperatures because the compressed CO2 gas is less susceptible to performance decreases caused by temperature. This offers exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for instance where other kinds of airsoft sidearms like green gas cease to function or hardly shoot BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a shiny steel cylinder and hold high pressure CO2 gas comprised of a single carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms, so the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are bound in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is held in the 12 gram cartridges under extremely high pressure of approximately ~ 800psi that translates to 55bar.
The CO2 gas cartridges are not reusable and you can usually purchase them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to preserve the CO2 gas securely inside, but the moment they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft handgun breaks the seal) cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are not expended. You should try to run through the whole CO2 cartridge the exact same day you open the seal. Use the chance to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the excess gas if the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level indicator on the cartridge so you need to shoot until the handgun stops shooting airsoft BBs.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They come with a manufacturer’s expiration date usually printed on the box or cylinder, however, they can survive for an extended period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Green Gas Airsoft Sidearm Facts
Green gas airsoft pistols are similar to CO2 handguns, however they use green gas or propane instead of CO2 cartridges. The impact on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is virtually the same as CO2 handguns with the weapons at about 300+ FPS.
The propane gas is stashed in the handgun’s magazine which can typically hold between 15 to 20+ BBs based on the pistol type. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone seals keep the gas stored in the magazine up until the handgun’s trigger is pulled.
When running a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or secondary gun, bringing extra pistol mags is advised for quickly reloading and getting back into the game. Having additional mags helps you reengage in the action in the course of firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas pistols are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields considering rifles and full-sized AEGs are typically not permitted to be used for indoor shooting. This is an essential safety standard due to the close range distance of airsoft players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas handguns can still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel assists to keep the joules and energy sending the BB lower compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various types of green gas airsoft pistols. First, there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These pistols run like an actual pistol with the pistol slide “blowing back” with every shot. The propane induces the slide to cycle when a brand-new airsoft BB is chambered. This cycling is very cool, however the GBB handguns often cost more and likely have more to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a stationary slide which does not move. The non-blowback handguns typically cost less than GBBs. Performance is about the same between the two varieties of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
While green gas normally performs very well, it does have constraints. When green gas and GBB guns are used over the winter playing in the snow or in cold weather conditions (such as under 32 deg F). Because the green gas or propane gas is stored in the mag by silicone seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold weather can negatively affect these seals and trigger the stored gas to escape before shooting. The decrease in pressure can make the airsoft BBs to only shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when it would typically shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temps).
One fix for this issue is to make the GBB handgun magazines warmer by placing them next to a heat source or by your body prior to game play. This can help to heat up the rubber gaskets and help to seal in the green gas. If you really desire to play with a dependable airsoft handgun in the cold, it can also be better to buy a CO2 version of your preferred handgun. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and perform far better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Handgun Info
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that launch the BBs out of the handgun barrel. They are normally single-shot. The manual functions of cocking, firing, and reloading spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns. This makes spring guns fun to use, however they are less useful when going up against challengers on the airsoft field with upgraded airsoft guns like fully auto airsoft AEG SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2 or GBB airsoft pistols.
Spring sidearms and guns perform best in springer wars where participants can exclusively use related, single shot spring handguns or as a transition backup weapon for CQB environments when you can frequently surprise other airsoft game players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a rapid 2nd follow-up shot will not be needed because the other player is already hit by the first BB and out of the game play or going back to respawn. Beware when engaging numerous opponents due to the fact that the spring airsoft gun just fires as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Handgun Effectiveness
Spring handguns are incredibly reliable under the appropriate game conditions. Spring handguns can often fire up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12g BBs however the ability to engage targets decreases quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handgun Information
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely an option to carry as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s grip. They operate just like an AEG SMG and use pressured air forced through electrically cycled gearboxes and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG pistol magazines generally carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has risen substantially in the last few years. The earliest gen AEP guns were a little bit undependable and sketchy, however the new models have the deficiencies worked out and make efficient airsoft secondary guns. They can be modded with enhanced magazine capacities and also accommodating larger batteries.
A significant benefit of buying an AEG pistol is that you have the capacity to rewire the connections to use a more substantial battery with longer life. Based on the AEG handgun style, you can get a substantial boost in functionality by using a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) in place of the standard AEP battery. Take care of changing the elements and wires because you need to take into consideration the volts, mAh, and loads of the batteries. Ask a professional airsoft technician at your nearest airsoft shop or store if you have customization concerns.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me to Play with?
If you have over one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft pistol, you may want to consider a green gas blowback handgun or automatic electric handgun. If you have in-between $50 to $100 to shell out, look at a CO2 handgun or cheaper GBB pistol. You can still look for a durable airsoft handgun by checking out cheaper pistols and by shopping for used pistols if you are trying to save money.
