How to Pick an Airsoft Pistol
Find information about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as secondary weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. A large number of airsoft pistols are fully manufacturer licensed variations of their real pistol equivalents and function and appear in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of genuine bullets.
There are several 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 styles of sidearms has negatives and positives related to them. Finding out about the varieties of airsoft pistols lets you choose which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Handgun Details
CO2 airsoft handguns are among the most dependable and common styles of handguns. They are all season, all weather handguns and operate well in lots of kinds of weather conditions and climates. These sidearms use high pressure CO2 gas to launch airsoft BBs down the weapon barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within a cylinder and is usually stored in the pistol’s handle.
These styles of airsoft guns are very good for playing airsoft in cold and snowy weather conditions given that the high pressure CO2 gas is less susceptible to performance variations caused by temperature levels. This fact offers excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for example where other kinds of handguns like green gas cease to operate or barely fire pellets.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by typical 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look like a metal cylinder and store high-pressure CO2 gas made up of a single carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms hence the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The CO2 cartridges are not reusable 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, but when they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft handgun breaks the cartridge seal) cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are not used up. You ought to try to run through the whole CO2 cartridge the same day you open the seal. Use the opportunity to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas if the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level indication on the cartridge so you need to shoot until the weapon stops firing airsoft BBs.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime if the cylinders are kept sealed. They do have a manufacturer’s expiry date typically marked on the box or cartridge cylinder, however they will last for an extended time past this date if the cartridge seal is not punctured.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft pistols function similarly to CO2 pistols, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Rather, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to propel 6mm airsoft pellets. The effect on the battlefield and green gas pistol efficiency is basically the same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to about 300+ feet per second (FPS). Shots are quickly fired in fully-automatic or semi-automatic shooting modes and precisely hit targets at short to mid-range distances.
The green gas is stored in the pistol’s mag which can often hold between 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the handgun model. A bunch of valves, silicone stoppers, and seals keep the propane gas housed in the pistol mag prior to when the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a great habit to top off and refill your green gas in your mag each time you load it into the pistol. Pistol-wielding players can even carry extra bottles of green gas in the field for reloading magazines in-between lulls in the fight or in-between missions.
When bringing a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a secondary or primary weapon, bringing additional handgun magazines is strongly recommended for rapidly reloading and engaging the op force. Having additional mags helps you get back in the action in the course of firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas pistols are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields considering long guns and full-sized AEGs are usually not enabled to be used during indoor game play. This is an essential safety rule because of the close quarters distance of 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 handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy propelling the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different forms of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These guns function like an actual handgun with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. Every time a fresh airsoft BB is chambered, the gas induces the slide to cycle. The result is very cool, however the GBB guns typically cost more and potentially have more parts to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns use a fixed slide which does not move. The non-blowback pistols normally cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same between the two kinds of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas usually functions extremely well, it does have constraints. When they are used throughout the winter season in the snow or in cold weather (like below 32 degrees F). Considering that the green gas or propane is stored in the pistol mag by rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, low temperatures can negatively impact the seals and allow the gas to escape prior to shooting. This can make the airsoft BBs to just shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the pistol would typically shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temperatures).
One solution to this problem is to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by holding them close to your body before airsoft game play. This can help to warm the seals and help to seal in the green gas. If you honestly want to use a trustworthy airsoft pistol in the cold, it might also be better to check out a CO2 variation of your favorite pistol. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and these guns shoot far better in sub-freezing temperatures and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Sidearm Info
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that propel the airsoft BBs down the handgun barrel. They are typically one shot. The manual actions of firing, reloading, and cocking spring airsoft guns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols. When fighting against enemies on the airsoft field with upgraded weapons, fully auto airsoft AEG SMGs, rifles, and CO2 or GBB airsoft pistols, this makes them fun to use, but less effective.
Spring guns work best in springer wars where opponents can solely use similar, single shot spring handguns or as a close quarters combat weapon for CQB settings when you can frequently quietly sneak up on other airsoft opponents to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a quick 2nd followup shot will not be required given that the other person is already hit and out of the game play or headed back to respawn. When engaging multiple airsoft players considering that the springer just fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be cautious.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring guns are really reliable under the appropriate scenarios. Spring guns can typically fire up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12 gram BBs however target accuracy decreases rapidly.
About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to carry as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s grip. They work just like an AEG gun and use pressurized air forced through electrically cycled cylinders and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol mags normally can hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has grown significantly in the last few years. The first generations were a bit questionable and unreliable, but the new versions have the problems resolved and make reliable airsoft backup weapons. They can be modded with maximized magazine capacities and also accommodating larger batteries.
A big benefit of using an AEG handgun is that you have the ability to rewire the battery connectors to use a larger capacity battery. Depending on the AEG pistol type, you can get a substantial output in efficiency by using a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as an alternative for the stock mini battery.
Which Airsoft Handgun is Best for Me to Play with?
If you have over one-hundred dollars to use to buy your airsoft pistol, you may want to consider a GBB handgun or automatic electric handgun. If you have in-between fifty to one-hundred dollars to upgrade your gun, look at a good quality CO2 pistol or less expensive GBB pistol. You can still look for a long lasting airsoft pistol by checking out cheaper pistols and by trading with other players in the used airsoft gun market if you are on a budget.
