How to Pick an Airsoft Pistol
Learn about airsoft sidearms and how you can use them as backup weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your accuracy and getting the right sidearm can make an impact in the accuracy of your shots. Sidearms, by nature, are much shorter range airsoft weapons. They are usually made after real pistols or imitations of authentic pistols. Quite a few airsoft pistols are fully certified releases of their real-world firearm equivalents. These airsoft guns can appear and function (short of shooting bullets) in the same ways almost identically to the real guns they are designed after while blasting airsoft BBs as opposed to real world bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols including CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun pistols. Each of these types of pistols come with positives and negatives associated with them. Learning about the kinds of airsoft sidearms allows you to figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Handgun Details
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most common and long lasting types of pistols. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to move airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel.
These forms of airsoft weapons are good for airsoft games in cooler temperatures given that the pressurized CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less vulnerable to variation caused by low temperature. This provides exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter season for instance where other kinds of airsoft sidearms like green gas cease to function or barely shoot BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft guns are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look like a metal cylinder and hold high pressure CO2 gas comprised of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, thus the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are bound in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cartridge cylinders under very high pressure of approximately ~ 800psi which converts to 55bar.
The CO2 cartridge cylinders are not multiple-use and you can commonly buy them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely and securely inside, once they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft pistol breaks the cartridge seal) the cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. You need to attempt to deplete 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 extra gas if the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level gauge on the cartridge so you have to shoot up until the handgun stops shooting.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime. They have a maker’s best used by date normally listed on the box or cylinder, however, they will likely stay pressurized for a long period past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Information About Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft handguns function similarly to CO2 handguns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Alternatively, they use green gas or propane for propellant to propel 6mm airsoft BBs. The result on gameplay and green gas pistol operation is just about the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to about 300+ FPS. Shots are quickly fired in fully-automatic or semi-automatic firing modes and accurate at shorter to mid-range distances.
The green gas is housed in the pistol’s mag and can often hold roughly 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the handgun style. A bunch of valves, rubber gaskets, and o-rings keep the propane gas sealed in the pistol mag till the handgun’s trigger is pulled. It is a great habit to fill up and top off the propane reserves in your pistol mag each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding gamers can even carry supplemental bottles of green gas in the field for reloading magazines in-between breaks in the battle or in-between gameplay.
When carrying a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a main or secondary gun, bringing extra handgun magazines is recommended for quickly reloading and getting back into the game. Having additional magazines helps you get back in the action during firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas handguns are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles and full-sized AEGs are generally not enabled to be used for indoor shooting. This is an essential safety regulation because of the close quarters distance of airsoft players during shooting engagements. While green gas pistols still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy sending the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different styles of green gas airsoft pistols. First, there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These guns work like a genuine handgun with the pistol slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. The propane gas causes the slide to cycle each time a new airsoft BB is chambered. This functioning while shooting is really cool, but the GBB weapons frequently cost more and potentially have more parts that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns have a stationary slide which does not move. The non-blowback weapons normally cost less than GBBs. Performance is about the same between the two kinds of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas usually performs effectively, it does have limits. For example, when they are used throughout the winter in the snow or in colder temperatures (like under 32 deg F). Considering that the green gas or propane gas is kept in the magazine by silicone seals and gaskets, the cold can negatively impact these seals and cause the gas to escape prior to firing the handgun. This can make the airsoft BBs to just shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the gun would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temps).
One option to fix this issue is to try to keep the GBB handgun magazines warmer by putting them next to a heater or by your body prior to game play. This can help to heat up the seals, gaskets, and valves and help to seal in the green gas. It can also be worth buying a CO2 version of your preferred handgun if you really prefer to play airsoft with a reputable airsoft handgun in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and perform better in sub-freezing temperatures and while playing in the snow.
About Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by powerful coil springs that send the BBs out of the handgun barrel. The manual functioning of reloading, firing, and cocking spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns.
Spring sidearms and guns perform the best in springer wars where airsoft players can solely use similar, single shot spring weapons or as an alternative backup gun for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can usually surprise other airsoft participants to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a fast second follow-up shot is not really needed given that the other person is already hit and out of the game play or moving back to respawn. Be careful when engaging several foes due to the fact that the weapon just fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Handgun Efficiency
Spring guns are remarkably reliable under the appropriate circumstances. Their FPS generally chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These guns normally fire lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the coiled springs are less effective than other kinds of airsoft guns like rifles. Spring handguns can normally be accurate at up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs however precision decreases rapidly. Choosing normal 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a range of about 60 to 80 feet or less with enhanced target accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handgun Details
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to bring as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s handle. They operate similar to an AEG gun and use pressurized air forced through electrically cycled gearboxes, pistons, and cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol magazines normally carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has grown substantially in the last few years. The initial generations were a bit unreliable and questionable, however the more recent designs have most of the deficiencies resolved and make reliable airsoft backup weapons. They can be modified with enhanced magazine capacities along with accommodating larger batteries.
A significant benefit of using an AEG handgun is that you have the power to rewire the adapters to use a larger capacity battery. Depending on the AEG pistol type, you can gain a huge jump in performance by adopting a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock AEP battery.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me?
If you have over one-hundred dollars to use to buy your airsoft handgun, you may want to consider a green gas blowback pistol or AEG handgun. If you have around $50 to $100 to shell out, check out a CO2 handgun or less expensive GBB pistol. If your gun budget is lower, you can still choose a resilient airsoft handgun to use for the pistol games by checking out lower end pistols and by trading with other players on the used airsoft gun market.
