How to Choose an Airsoft Handgun
Learn about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as backup weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. A lot of airsoft handguns are completely licensed models of their real firearm counterparts and run and look in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than authentic bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols such as CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these varieties of handguns has negatives and positives connected with them. Finding out about the kinds of airsoft sidearms allows you to make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
About CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most popular and dependable types of sidearms. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to shoot airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel.
These kinds of airsoft handguns are great for playing airsoft in cold weather conditions given that the pressurized CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less susceptible to performance variations caused by temperature levels. This gives CO2 airsoft sidearms excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for example where other styles of pistols like green gas cease to work or barely fire airsoft BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look similar to a shiny metallic cylinder and hold high-pressure CO2 gas composed of 1 carbon atom and two oxygen atoms hence the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, however soon after they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft pistol breaks the seal) they will start 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.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime. They come with the manufacturer’s best used by date typically marked on the box or cartridge cylinder, however, they will likely stay pressurized for a very long period past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Green Gas Airsoft Handgun Information
Green gas airsoft pistols are comparable to CO2 handguns, however they use green gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The impact on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is practically the very same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to 300+ FPS.
The green gas is sealed in the handgun’s grip within the magazine which can typically hold around 15 to 20+ 6mm BBs depending on the gun model. A set of valves, rubberized gaskets, and seals keep the gas housed in the magazine till the handgun’s trigger is squeezed. It is a good habit to refill and top off your green gas supply in the magazine each time you load it into the pistol. Pistol-wielding gamers can also take excess bottles of green gas in the field for reloading mags in-between breaks in the battle or in-between activities.
When running a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or secondary gun, additional magazines are advised for rapidly reloading and engaging the op force. Having additional magazines helps you re engage in the action in the middle of firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields considering that long guns and full-sized AEGs are normally not enabled to be used for indoor engagements. This is an essential safety guideline due to the close quarters proximity of airsoft players during the shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas handguns still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel assists to keep the joules and energy forcing the BB at a lower level compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various kinds of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
While green gas typically functions very well on the airsoft field, it does have constraints. When green gas and GBB guns are used during the winter season in the snow or in colder temperatures (like under 32 degrees F). Considering that the green gas or propane gas is stored in the mag by silicone seals and gaskets, cold temperatures can negatively affect these seals and make the stored gas to escape prior to shooting airsoft BBs. This can cause the airsoft BBs to merely shoot several feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the pistol would usually shoot BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather).
One fix to this problem is to make the GBB pistol magazines warmer by holding them next to your body or near a heat source just before game play. If you truly desire to play with a reputable airsoft pistol in the cold weather, it might also be worth getting a CO2 style of your favorite handgun.
Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by powerful springs that fire the BBs out of the handgun barrel. They are typically single-shot. The manual actions of shooting, reloading, and cocking spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns. This makes spring airsoft guns entertaining to use, but they are usually less effective when facing players on the airsoft field with upgraded airsoft guns like automatic airsoft AEG SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2 or GBB airsoft handguns.
Spring sidearms perform the best in springer battles where participants can exclusively use comparable, single shot spring weapons or as a close quarters combat backup gun for CQB buildings when you can often sneak up to other airsoft game players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a quick second followup shot is not really needed because the other player is now struck and out of the game play or going back to respawn. When engaging a number of adversaries because the spring gun only shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring handguns are really efficient under the ideal situations. Spring guns like pistols can commonly shoot accurately up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however accuracy reduces quickly.
Details About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to bring as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are often powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s butt. They function much like an AEG rifle and use compressed air with electrically cycled pistons and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG handgun magazines generally store about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs as high as about 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or around 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electric battery powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which is estimated if you have enough spare magazines to reload and the battery holds out that long. These pistols can precisely shoot airsoft BBs at around 150 foot ranges.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has increased substantially in the last few years. The earliest generations were a little bit undependable and sketchy, however the latest models have the problems resolved and make efficient airsoft secondary guns. They can be upgraded with enhanced mag storage capacities along with accommodating bigger batteries.
A big benefit of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the battery wires to use an increased capacity battery with longer life. Depending upon the AEG pistol design, you are able to gain a substantial leap in performance utilizing a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) instead of the standard AEP battery. Take extra precautions when modifying the components and wires because you must think about the voltages, mAh, and loads of the batteries. If you have customization questions, ask an expert gun specialist at your closest airsoft store or shop.
What Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me?
If you have more than one-hundred dollars to use to buy your airsoft pistol, evaluate a green gas blowback pistol or automatic electric pistol. If you have in-between fifty to one-hundred dollars to spend, review a good quality CO2 pistol or cheaper GBB pistol. You can still look for a long lasting airsoft handgun by checking out cheaper pistols and by trading with players selling used airsoft pistols if you are on a budget.
