How to Pick an Airsoft Handgun
Learn about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as extra weapons or as core weapons on the airsoft playing field. Lots of airsoft handguns are completely manufactured and licensed releases of their authentic pistol counterparts and look and operate in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of authentic bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols consisting of CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun pistols. Each of these kinds of handguns have negatives and positives related to them. Learning about the types of airsoft pistols lets you figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
About CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft handguns are among the most sturdy and typical varieties of handguns. They are all season, all weather pistols and function well in a lot of types of weather conditions and climates. These sidearms use high pressure CO2 gas to shoot airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel. The CO2 cartridge is normally stored in the pistol’s magazine.
These styles of airsoft pistols are great for playing in colder weather since the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less prone to performance decreases by temperature. This gives CO2 airsoft guns exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the wintertime for example where other types of sidearms like green gas stuffer from low performance or barely fire BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look like a metal cylinder and contain high-pressure CO2 gas composed of one carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms, as a result the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are bonded in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cartridges under really high pressure of approximately ~ 800psi which correlates to 55bar.
The CO2 cartridge cylinders cannot be used multiple times and you can normally order them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely within, but when they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft handgun breaks the cartridge seal) the cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are not used up. You should try to use up the entire CO2 cartridge the same day you open the seal. Use the chance to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas if the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level sign on the cartridge so you have to shoot up until the weapon stops shooting airsoft BBs.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if the cylinders are stored sealed. They do have the supplier’s best used by date normally marked on the package or cartridge cylinder, however they may maintain pressure for a prolonged time past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 handguns, but they use green gas or propane instead of CO2 cartridges. The operational impact on the battleground and green gas weapon efficiency is virtually the same as CO2 handguns with the weapons at around 300+ FPS.
The propane is held in the pistol’s magazine which can usually hold in-between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending on the handgun design. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and o-rings keep the gas pressurized in the mag until the pistol’s trigger is pulled.
When playing with a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a backup or primary gun, extra handgun mags are suggested for quickly reloading and engaging the op force. Having additional magazines allows you to get back in the action in the course of firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas handguns are excellent for CQB at airsoft fields considering that rifles and full-sized AEGs are generally not permitted to be used for indoor gameplay. This is a safety rule because of the close quarters distance of gamers during the shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy sending the BB lower compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various styles of green gas airsoft handguns. First, there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These pistols run like a legitimate handgun with the gun’s slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. The propane induces the slide to cycle each time when a new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. The result is extremely cool, but the guns typically cost more and possibly have more parts that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback pistols normally cost less than GBBs. Performance is about the same when comparing the two kinds of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
While green gas typically can be used extremely well, it does have drawbacks. When green gas and GBB guns are used throughout the winter airsoft games in the snow or in cold weather conditions (like under 32 degrees F). Since the green gas or propane is stored in the magazine by rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold temperatures can impair the seals and allow the stored gas to escape prior to shooting airsoft BBs. The depressurized gas can make the airsoft BBs to just shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the gun would ordinarily shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather).
One fix for this challenge is to make the GBB handgun mags warmer by putting them next to your body before airsoft game play. This can help to warm up the seals and valves and help to seal in the green gas. It may also be worth getting a CO2 version of your favorite handgun if you really need to play airsoft with a trustworthy airsoft pistol in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and the gun will shoot far better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Facts About Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong springs that launch the BBs out of the pistol barrel. They are normally single-shot. The manual action of firing, cocking, and reloading spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns. When dealing with competitors on the airsoft field with upgraded weapons and fully automatic airsoft AEG SMGs, assault rifles, sniper rifles, and CO2 or GBB airsoft handguns, this can make spring guns enjoyable to use, but less efficient.
Spring sidearms and guns work best in springer wars where game players can solely use related, single shot spring handguns or as a close quarters backup gun for CQB buildings when you can usually quietly sneak up on other airsoft game players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a quick 2nd follow-up shot is not required considering that the other person is now struck and out of the game or going back to respawn. Take care when fighting numerous foes considering the springer only fires as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Handgun Effectiveness
Spring pistols are incredibly efficient under the correct conditions during games. Spring pistols can commonly shoot up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12 gram BBs however precision reduces quickly.
Info on AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to bring into the field as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s grip. They operate similar to an AEG SMG and use forced air pumped through electrically cycled gearboxes and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG handgun mags usually carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually grown significantly in recent years. The early gens were a bit unreliable and sketchy, however the new versions have the problems resolved and make efficient airsoft secondary guns. They can be further modded with increased magazine storage capacities together with accommodating bigger batteries.
A significant perk of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the opportunity to rewire the wires to use an increased capacity battery. Based on the AEG pistol model, you can get a big leap in performance and fire rate by using a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as opposed to the standard mini battery. Beware of adjusting the components and the gun’s wires since you should take into consideration the voltages, mAh, and loads of the batteries. Ask a pro gun technician at your closest airsoft shop if you have modding concerns.
What Airsoft Handgun is Best for Me to Play with?
Deciding on the best airsoft sidearm for you depends on how much you can afford, how much you want to play airsoft with it, and where you hope to play. If you have over one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft handgun, look at a green gas blowback handgun or AEP handgun. These kinds of guns are normally the top of the line, have good efficiency, and are usually an excellent handgun to purchase. Take a look at a CO2 pistol or more affordable GBB pistol if you have about $50 to $100 to put towards an airsoft gun purchase. These guns will still function well and will be long lasting sidearms. If you have less than fifty dollars, choose a low end CO2 or springer handgun. You can still get a resilient airsoft pistol to use for the handgun airsoft guns.
