How to Choose an Airsoft Handgun
Find out about airsoft pistols and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your accuracy and getting the best sidearm can make a big difference in aiming your shots. Handguns, by nature, are diminished range airsoft guns. They are normally made after firearm sidearms or imitations of legitimate handguns. Quite a few airsoft pistols are completely licensed releases of their real world weapon equivalents. These airsoft guns can appear and function (sans shooting bullets) in the same ways identically to the real guns they are modeled around while shooting airsoft BBs instead of authentic bullets.
There are a number of varieties of airsoft sidearms consisting of CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these forms of sidearms come with benefits and differences related to them. Finding out about the types of airsoft pistols allows you to decide which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most durable and typical types of sidearms. These handguns use sealed CO2 gas cylinders to propel airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel.
These forms of airsoft guns are very good for airsoft games in cold and snowy weather conditions due to the fact that the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less susceptible to performance variations by temperature. This gives CO2 airsoft sidearms great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for instance where other kinds of guns like green gas cease to work or hardly shoot pellets.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges resemble a shiny cylinder and hold high-pressure CO2 gas consisting of 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The CO2 gas cartridge cylinders cannot be refilled and you can normally buy them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to preserve the CO2 gas safely and securely inside, once they are punctured (firing them in an airsoft pistol breaks the cartridge seal) the cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. You must try to run through the entire CO2 cartridge the very same day you open the seal. Use the opportunity to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas if the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level guide on the cartridge so you need to shoot up until the weapon stops firing airsoft BBs.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime. They are made with a supplier’s expiration date typically listed on the box or cartridge cylinder, but they can maintain pressure for a long period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not tampered with.
Details About Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft sidearms resemble CO2 pistols, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Instead, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to fire 6mm airsoft BBs. The operational impact on airsoft games and green gas weapon functionality is basically the same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to about 300+ feet per second. Shots are quickly fired in automatic or semi-automatic firing modes and can accurately hit targets at very short to mid-range ranges.
The green gas is held in the handgun’s mag and can typically hold in-between 15 to 20+ 6mm BBs depending upon the handgun design. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and seals keep the propane gas stored in the pistol mag prior to when the handgun’s trigger is pulled. It is a good choice to top off and refill the propane reserves in your magazine each time you load it into the handgun. Pistol-wielding gamers can additionally take supplemental bottles of propane gas in the field for reloading magazines in-between lulls in the fight or in-between games.
When carrying a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a secondary or main gun, bringing extra handgun magazines is encouraged for rapidly reloading and getting back into the game. Having additional magazines on-hand helps you re engage in the action throughout firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas pistols are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields since long guns and full-sized AEGs are usually not permitted to be used for indoor shooting. This is a safety regulation because of the close quarters distance of airsoft players during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas pistols still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy sending the BB lower compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different styles of green gas airsoft handguns. To start with there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These guns operate like a real pistol with the pistol slide “blowing back” with every shot. The propane gas triggers the slide to cycle every time when a brand-new airsoft BB is chambered. This functionality is extremely cool, however the pistols often cost more and possibly have more which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a fixed slide which does not move. The non-blowback guns generally cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same when comparing the two styles of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Because the green gas or propane is held in the mag using rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold weather can affect these o-rings and allow the gas to escape before shooting the gun. This can cause the airsoft BBs to merely land a number of feet away (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the handgun would normally shoot BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather).
One option to fix this issue is to make the GBB pistol magazines warmer by putting them close to your body before airsoft game play. This can help to warm up the rubber gaskets and better seal in the green gas. It might also be worth buying a CO2 variation of your preferred handgun if you really need to play airsoft with a dependable airsoft pistol in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and the gun shoots better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Pistol Facts
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that propel the BBs down the handgun barrel. They are typically able to only shoot one BB at a time. The manual functions of cocking, reloading, and firing spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns. When shooting at enemies on the airsoft field with advanced weaponry, automatic airsoft AEG SMGs, assault rifles, sniper rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols, this makes spring airsoft guns entertaining to use, but less effective.
Spring airsoft guns perform most effectively in springer wars where opponents can only use similar, single shot spring weapons or as a close quarters weapon for CQB buildings when you can usually sneak up to other airsoft participants to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a fast second followup shot will not be called for due to the fact that the other opponent is now struck and out of the game or going back to respawn. When engaging a number of rivals because the spring airsoft gun simply shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring guns are quite reliable under the right conditions. Their FPS typically chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These pistols usually fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs because the springs are less effective than other types of airsoft guns. Spring pistols can normally engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however accuracy diminishes rapidly. Choosing standard 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a shooting distance of around 60 to 80 feet with improved target accuracy.
Facts About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to bring as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s butt. They function much like an AEG rifle and use forced air pumped through electrically cycled gearboxes, pistons, and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol magazines generally store around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs right up to about 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or around 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electrically powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute which is estimated if you have enough spare magazines to reload (after every 20 to 30 shots) and the battery lasts that long. These AEP pistols can precisely shoot airsoft BBs at about 150 foot distances.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually increased substantially in recent years. The initial gens were a bit questionable and unreliable, however the new versions have most of the deficiencies worked out and make efficient airsoft secondary guns. They can be further modded with enhanced magazine capacities and also accommodating more powerful batteries.
A massive advantage of using an AEG handgun is that you have the power to rewire the connections to use a more substantial battery. Depending on the AEG handgun type, you can gain a substantial output in functionality by taking advantage of a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) rather than the stock mini battery.
Which Airsoft Handgun is Right for Me to Buy?
If you have over one-hundred dollars to use to buy your airsoft handgun, take a look at a GBB handgun or automatic electric handgun. If you have around fifty to one-hundred dollars to shell out, look at a good quality CO2 pistol or less expensive GBB pistol. If you are on a budget, you can still find a long lasting airsoft handgun to use for the pistol games.
