How to Pick an Airsoft Pistol
Find information about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as extra weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Many airsoft pistols are fully licensed replications of their genuine handgun counterparts and look and run in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than authentic bullets.
There are a number of varieties of airsoft sidearms including CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric sidearms. Each of these varieties of sidearms come with positives and negatives related to them. Finding out about the styles of airsoft pistols helps you make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Sidearm Details
CO2 airsoft pistols are among the most typical and sturdy varieties of pistols. They are all season weapons working well in many types of weather and environments. These pistols use high pressure CO2 gas to move airsoft BBs down the pistol barrel. The CO2 cartridge is normally located in the gun’s mag inside the handle.
These kinds of airsoft weapons are excellent for playing airsoft in cooler weather conditions given that the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less sensitive to performance decreases by low temperatures. This provides very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for instance where other kinds of handguns like green gas cease to function or barely fire airsoft BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft guns are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges resemble a metallic cylinder and hold high-pressure CO2 gas consisting of one carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms, as a result of the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are bonded in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cartridge cylinders under extremely high pressure of near ~ 800psi which translates to 55bar.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, however once they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft gun breaks the cartridge 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 pistol target practice and use up the rest of the excess gas.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while if the cylinders are kept sealed. They come with the maker’s use by date usually listed on the package or cartridge, however, they will stay pressurized for a long time past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Sidearm Info
Green gas airsoft handguns function similarly to CO2 pistols, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Alternatively, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to shoot 6mm airsoft pellets. The operational impact on the airsoft battlefield and green gas pistol efficiency is practically the same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to 300+ feet per second. Shots are rapidly fired in semi-automatic or automatic firing modes and precisely hit targets at very short to mid-range ranges.
The propane is stored in the pistol’s airsoft mag which can typically hold between 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the handgun design. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas stored in the magazine before the pistol’s trigger is squeezed.
When carrying a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or backup weapon, extra magazines are strongly recommended for rapidly reloading and getting back into the game. Having extra magazines allows you to join 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 suitable for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are typically not authorized to be used during indoor gameplay. This is a safety regulation because of the close range proximity of gamers during shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy pushing the BB at a lower level compared to AEG 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 handguns. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These handguns run like an authentic pistol with the slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. Every time a fresh airsoft BB is chambered, the gas causes the slide to cycle. This functioning while shooting is very cool, but the handguns frequently cost more and likely have more parts that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns use a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback handguns typically cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same between the two kinds of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
While green gas usually can be used effectively, it does have restrictions. When green gas and GBB guns are used during the winter season in the snow or in colder temperatures (such as under 32 degrees F). Given that the green gas or propane is stored in the weapon’s mag using silicone seals and gaskets, cold temperatures can negatively affect these seals and make the gas to seep out before shooting. The decrease in pressure can make the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when it would ordinarily shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temperatures).
One fix for this issue is to try to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by positioning them inside your jacket next to your body prior to airsoft game play. This can help to warm up the rubber seals and better seal in the green gas. It might also be worth buying a CO2 variation of your preferred handgun if you actually need to play with a reliable airsoft pistol in the cold. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and the gun shoots better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong coil springs that launch the BBs out of the handgun barrel. They are generally one shot only. The manual action of shooting, cocking, and reloading spring pistols makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols. This makes them entertaining to use, however they are less efficient when confronting attackers on the airsoft field with upgraded rifles, automatic airsoft AEG rifles, sniper rifles, and CO2 or GBB airsoft handguns.
Spring sidearms and guns perform the best in springer battles where airsoft players can exclusively use related, single shot spring weapons or as a transition backup gun for CQB buildings when you can usually surprise other airsoft opponents to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a fast 2nd followup shot isn’t required since the other player is already struck and out of the game or going back to respawn. When engaging multiple players since the weapon only shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring guns are very effective under the most ideal conditions during games. Spring handguns can typically fire up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but accuracy decreases rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely an option to carry as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s butt. They operate much like an AEG rifle and use forced air with electrically cycled gearboxes and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG pistol mags generally hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually grown substantially recently. The earliest generation guns were a little bit questionable and unreliable, however the newer models have most of the deficiencies resolved and make effective airsoft secondary weapons. They can be upgraded with enhanced mag storage capacities and also accommodating bigger batteries.
A substantial advantage of using an AEG pistol is that you have the capability to rewire the adapters to use a larger capacity battery. Depending on the AEG pistol design, you can gain a big jump in functionality by using a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) instead of the stock AEP battery.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me?
Deciding on the ideal airsoft pistol for you depends upon your budget, how much you want to play airsoft with it, and where you plan to play. If you have $100 or more to spend on your airsoft pistol, take a look at a green gas blowback handgun or AEP pistol. These guns are usually the top-tier guns, have the greatest efficiency, and could be a really good investment. Check out a CO2 pistol or less expensive GBB pistol if you have around $50 to $100 to put towards an airsoft gun purchase. Middle of the road guns like these will still be fun to play with and will be pretty sturdy sidearms. Look for a cheap CO2 or spring pistol if you have $50 or less. You can still get a durable airsoft handgun to use for the handgun games.
