How to Pick an Airsoft Pistol
Learn about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Numerous airsoft handguns are completely licensed editions of their genuine handgun equivalents and run and appear in the same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of authentic bullets.
There are a number of kinds of airsoft handguns including CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric sidearms. Each of these types of sidearms come with benefits and differences connected with them. Learning more about the kinds of airsoft handguns allows you to figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most common and sturdy styles of pistols. They are all season, all weather handguns working well in a lot of kinds of extreme temperatures, weather and environments. These pistols use pressurized CO2 gas to send airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within the cylinder and is generally held in the handgun’s mag inside the handle.
These types of airsoft weapons are exceptional for airsoft games in cold and snowy weather conditions because the high pressure CO2 gas is less vulnerable to performance decreases with low temperature. This gives CO2 airsoft sidearms exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for instance where other varieties of airsoft sidearms like green gas stop operating or hardly shoot airsoft BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a metallic cylinder and contain high pressured CO2 gas made up of just one carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms, thus the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are attached in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is held in the 12 gram cartridges under extremely high pressure of roughly ~ 800psi which correlates to 55bar.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, however the moment they are opened (firing them in an airsoft weapon breaks the cartridge seal) they will begin 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 extra gas.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while if they are kept sealed. They are made with the supplier’s use by date normally listed on the package or cylinder, but they can stay pressurized for a prolonged period past this date if the cartridge seal is not punctured.
Information About Green Gas Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 pistols, however they use green gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The effect on the battleground and green gas weapon efficiency is virtually the exact same as CO2 handguns with the weapons at about 300+ FPS.
The propane is kept in the pistol’s magazine which can typically hold in-between 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 magazine till the handgun’s trigger is pulled.
When using a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or backup weapon, bringing additional pistol mags is advised for quickly reloading. Having additional magazines allows you to get back in the action in the course of firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas handguns are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles and full-sized AEGs are usually not allowed to be used for indoor game play. This is an essential safety rule due to the close quarters proximity of airsoft players during shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas handguns still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy forcing the BB lower compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different types of green gas airsoft pistols. First there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These pistols run like a real pistol with the pistol slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. The gas causes the slide to cycle when a new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. The result is extremely cool, however the GBB pistols typically are more expensive and likely have more that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback handguns commonly 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 usually can be used extremely well on the airsoft field, it does have issues. When they are used during the winter in the snow or in colder weather (such as below 32 degrees F). Considering that the green gas or propane is held in the weapon’s mag using silicone seals and gaskets, the cold can negatively affect these seals and cause the stored gas to escape prior to firing the pistol. This can cause the airsoft BBs to just shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when it would usually shoot BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather conditions).
One strategy to this issue is to make the GBB handgun magazines warmer by placing them next to your body prior to game play starts. If you absolutely desire to play with a trustworthy airsoft pistol in the cold weather, it might also be worth getting a CO2 style of your favorite pistol.
Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by powerful coil springs that launch the BBs out of the handgun’s barrel. The manual functioning of firing, reloading, and cocking spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols.
Spring sidearms work best in springer wars where airsoft players can just use comparable, single shot spring weapons or as an alternative backup gun for CQB settings when you can often quietly sneak up on other airsoft players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a rapid second followup shot will not be required considering that the other player is now hit by the airsoft BB and out of the game or heading back to respawn. Beware when engaging multiple enemies because the spring gun just fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring handguns are very effective under the best conditions during airsoft games. Their FPS commonly chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These weapons usually fire lighter weight airsoft BBs since the springs are less effective than other types of airsoft guns. Spring guns can generally shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs however the ability to hit targets reduces quickly. Shooting standard 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a reduced shooting distance of around 60 to 80 feet or less with enhanced accuracy.
Facts About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to bring as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are often powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s grip. They operate much like an AEG SMG and use forced air with electrically cycled gearboxes, pistons, and cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG pistol magazines generally hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can launch airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually grown significantly over the last few years. The initial gen AEP guns were a bit questionable and undependable, but the new designs have the bugs worked out and make reliable airsoft backup weapons. They can be further upgraded with enhanced mag storage capacities together with accommodating larger batteries.
A big advantage of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the connections to use a more substantial battery. Depending on the AEG pistol type, you can gain a sizable output in efficiency by using a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) instead of the stock battery.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me?
Finding the most ideal airsoft pistol for you depends upon how much you can afford to spend, how much you plan to play airsoft with it, and where you decide to play. If you have more than $100 to invest in your airsoft handgun, take a look at a green gas blowback pistol or AEG handgun. These are typically the best of the best, have great efficiency, and could be a great gun to invest in. Look into a CO2 handgun or cheaper GBB handgun if you have around fifty to one-hundred dollars to invest. These guns will still work well and can be tough sidearms. Look for a cheaper CO2 or spring pistol if you have less than $50. You can still buy a strong airsoft pistol to use for the handgun games.
