How to Pick an Airsoft Handgun
Find information about airsoft guns like pistols and how you can use them as backup weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the right pistol and practicing with it can make all the difference in the accuracy of your shots. Pistols, by nature, are shorter range airsoft guns. They are generally crafted after authentic guns or models of authentic pistols. Quite a few airsoft pistols are fully licensed releases of their authentic pistol equivalents. These airsoft guns can visually 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 actual bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns such as CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these forms of sidearms has positives and negatives connected with them. Finding out about the kinds of airsoft pistols allows you to make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most popular and durable kinds of handguns. They are all-season weapons and function well in lots of kinds of extreme temperatures, weather and climates. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to move airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within a cylinder and is normally held in the handgun’s handle.
These types of airsoft handguns are great for playing in cold and snowy weather since the pressurized CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less susceptible to FPS decreases by low temperature. This provides great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for instance where other varieties of airsoft sidearms like green gas stuffer from low performance or barely fire BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges resemble a metallic cylinder and store high pressure CO2 gas composed of 1 carbon atom and two oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, however once they are opened (firing them in an airsoft gun breaks the seal) they will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft games 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.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while if the cylinders are stored sealed. They do have a supplier’s expiration date normally noted on the box or cartridge, however they can maintain pressure for an extended time past this date if the cartridge seals are not tampered with.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Sidearm Info
Green gas airsoft sidearms are similar to CO2 pistols, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Rather, they use green gas or propane for propellant to shoot the airsoft pellets. The effect on the battlefield and green gas pistol performance is practically the same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to 300+ feet per second. Shots are rapidly fired in automatic or semi-automatic shooting modes and can hit targets at very short to mid-range ranges.
The green gas is kept in the pistol’s magazine which can typically hold roughly 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending upon the gun design. A sequence of valves, rubber stoppers, and o-rings keep the propane gas sealed in the pistol mag up to the point the pistol’s trigger is squeezed. It is a good plan to top off and refill your green gas in the magazine each time you load it into the gun. Pistol-wielding airsoft players can additionally bring supplemental bottles of propane in the field for reloading mags in-between breaks in the battle or between games.
When bringing a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a secondary or main weapon, bringing extra magazines is recommended for rapidly reloading and getting back into the game. Having extra mags allows you to reengage in the action during firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas pistols are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields considering that rifles and full-sized AEGs are generally not permitted to be used for indoor shooting. This is a safety guideline due to the close range distance of players during shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas handguns can still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel helps to keep the joules and energy sending the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various varieties of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback pistols. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane is stored in the mag by using rubber seals and gaskets, cold temperatures can negatively influence these o-rings and allow the gas to leak out before shooting. This lack of pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to just shoot a number of feet away (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when the green gas pistol would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather).
One fix to this issue is to make the GBB handgun mags warmer by placing them next to your body or by a heater before game play. If you absolutely want to play with a reliable airsoft pistol in the cold weather, it might also be worth getting a CO2 version of your favorite handgun.
Info on Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by powerful coil springs that launch the airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel. They are normally one shot only. The manual functioning of cocking, reloading, and firing spring pistols makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns. This makes them interesting to use, yet they can be less useful when facing challengers on the airsoft field with upgraded airsoft guns like fully automatic airsoft AEG rifles, SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols.
Spring pistols work best in springer battles where players can solely use similar, single shot spring handguns or as a close quarters combat backup gun for CQB settings when you can frequently surprise other airsoft game players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a quick 2nd follow-up shot is not needed considering that the other opponent is now hit by the first shot and out of the game or running back to respawn. When engaging several attackers because the spring airsoft gun just shoots as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be cautious.
About Spring Handgun Effectiveness
Spring handguns are really efficient under the most ideal conditions during games. Spring guns like pistols can normally shoot accurately up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12g BBs but the ability to hit targets decreases rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handgun Information
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 pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s handle. They function much like an AEG rifle and use pressurized air pumped through electrically cycled cylinders, pistons, and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very rapidly at that.
AEG handgun magazines generally can hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs approximately around 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or about 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electrically powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute assuming you have enough spare magazines to reload (after every 20 to 30 shots) and the battery lasts that long. These AEP pistols can efficiently fire airsoft BBs at about 150 foot distances.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually grown considerably in the last few years. The initial generation AEP guns were a little bit questionable and undependable, but the latest versions have most of the bugs resolved and make efficient airsoft backup weapons. They can be further modified with increased mag capacities as well as accommodating bigger batteries.
A substantial advantage of using an AEG pistol is that you have the capability to rewire the connectors to use a bigger battery. Depending on the AEG pistol design, you can gain a large increase in performance by employing a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as an alternative for the stock AEP battery.
Which Airsoft Handgun is Right for Me?
If you have $100 or more to use to buy your airsoft handgun, take a look at a green gas blowback pistol or AEG handgun. 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 durable airsoft pistol by checking out lower end pistols and by trading with players selling used airsoft pistols if you are trying to save money.
