Information on Airsoft Handgun Types
Learn about airsoft handguns and sidearms and how you can use them as backup guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. A lot of airsoft pistols are fully manufactured releases of their genuine handgun counterparts and look and run in the same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than real bullets.
There are a number of varieties of airsoft pistols such as CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these varieties of pistols have negatives and positives associated with them. Learning more about the kinds of airsoft pistols lets you decide which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most standard and durable kinds of handguns. They are all season, all weather handguns and operate well in many types of varying temperatures, weather and environments. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to push airsoft BBs down the handgun barrel. The CO2 cartridge is usually held in the handgun’s magazine in the handle.
These types of airsoft pistols are good for airsoft games in cold temperatures given that the pressurized CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less prone to FPS decreases with low temperature. This provides exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter season for example where other types of airsoft pistols like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly fire BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look like a shiny metallic cylinder and store high-pressure CO2 gas consisting of just one carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely inside, however as soon as they are opened (firing them inside of an airsoft weapon breaks the cartridge seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the remaining gas.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if the cylinders are stored sealed. They have the maker’s best used by date usually noted on the package or cartridge, however, they may survive for an extended period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Pistol Details
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 pistols, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. The effect on the battlefield and green gas weapon performance is almost the same as CO2 pistols with the guns around 300+ FPS.
The propane gas is stored in the handgun’s mag that can often hold around 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending on the pistol type. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas pressurized in the magazine before the pistol’s trigger is squeezed.
When running a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field or arena as a secondary or primary weapon, extra handgun mags are recommended for rapidly reloading. Having additional mags allows you to get back in the action throughout firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles and full-sized AEGs are generally not permitted to be used for indoor gameplay. This is a safety standard due to the close quarters distance of gamers during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas pistols still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel assists to keep the joules and energy pushing the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different types of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
While green gas usually can be used extremely well, it does have issues. This includes when green gas guns are played with throughout the winter airsoft games in the snow or in very cold temperatures (like less than 32 deg F). Because the green gas or propane is kept in the weapon’s magazine by rubber seals and gaskets, cold weather can impair the seals and trigger the gas to escape prior to shooting airsoft BBs. This can make the airsoft BBs to only shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when it would normally shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather).
One fix for this challenge is to make the GBB pistol mags warmer by positioning them near your body just before the game play. This can help to heat up the seals and help to seal in the green gas. It might also be worth getting a CO2 variation of your favorite pistol if you actually prefer to play with a reliable airsoft pistol in the cold. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and these guns shoot far better in sub-freezing temperatures and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Sidearm Details
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by strong coil springs that shoot the BBs out of the gun’s barrel. The manual actions of reloading, shooting, and cocking spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB airsoft guns.
Spring guns perform most effectively in springer battles where game players can only use similar, single shot spring guns or as a close quarters combat backup gun for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can frequently sneak up to other airsoft participants to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a quick 2nd followup shot is not required considering that the other person is now hit by the first BB and out of the gameplay or heading back to respawn. Beware when engaging many different airsoft players due to the fact that the spring gun just shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Handgun Efficiency
Spring handguns are incredibly efficient under the best conditions. Spring pistols can typically fire up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to hit targets reduces quickly.
Facts About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to bring 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 similar to an AEG gun and use pressured air with electrically cycled cylinders and gearboxes to shoot airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol mags normally can carry about 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 Performance
AEG pistol quality has actually risen substantially in the last few years. The first gen AEP guns were a bit questionable and unreliable, but the new versions have most of the problems worked out and make efficient airsoft secondary weapons. They can be further upgraded with increased magazine storage capacities together with accommodating larger batteries.
A big perk of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the capacity to rewire the battery connectors to use an enhanced capacity battery with longer life. Based on the AEG pistol version, you are able to gain a big output in performance by utilizing a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) in place of the standard mini battery. Beware of modifying the parts and the gun’s wires because you should take into consideration the voltages, mAh, and electrical loads of the batteries. If you have modding questions, ask an expert weapon service tech at your closest airsoft store.
Which Airsoft Handgun is Right for Me?
If you have $100 or more to spend on your airsoft handgun, take a look at a GBB handgun or automatic electric handgun. If you have in-between fifty to one-hundred dollars to upgrade your gun, review a CO2 handgun or more affordable GBB pistol. You can still play with a durable airsoft pistol by checking out cheaper pistols and by trading with players selling used airsoft guns if you are on a budget.
