How to Pick an Airsoft Pistol
Find info about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your shot accuracy and getting the right handgun can be a game changer in nailing your shots. Pistols, by nature, are short range airsoft guns. They are normally created after authentic sidearms or replicas of genuine handguns. Numerous airsoft pistols are fully certified reproductions of their actual firearm equivalents. These airsoft guns can visually appear and operate in the same ways similarly to the real guns they are designed around while blasting airsoft BBs in place of real-world bullets.
There are several varieties of airsoft sidearms consisting of CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these styles of pistols have negatives and positives associated with them. Learning more about the types of airsoft pistols allows you to choose which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft guns are one of the most long lasting and common types of pistols. These pistols use pressurized CO2 gas to launch airsoft BBs out of the weapon barrel.
These kinds of airsoft guns are great choices for playing in cold weather because the pressurized CO2 gas is less vulnerable to variation by temperature. This provides very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for example where other types of sidearms like green gas stuffer from low performance or barely shoot airsoft BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by common 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges resemble a metallic cylinder and hold high-pressure CO2 gas composed of a single carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms, consequently the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are connected in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is stored in the 12 gram cartridge cylinders under extremely high pressure of close to ~ 800psi that correlates to 55bar.
The CO2 gas cylinders are not refillable and you can normally buy them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely inside, once they are punctured (firing them in an airsoft pistol breaks the seal) cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are left unused. You need to attempt to deplete 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 gauge on the cartridge so you have to shoot up until the gun stops shooting.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if they are kept sealed. They have the supplier’s use by date usually printed on the box or cylinder, however they will probably survive for a long period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 handguns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. The impact on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is almost the exact same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to 300+ FPS.
The green gas is held in the handgun’s magazine which can often hold roughly 15 to 20+ 6mm airsoft BBs based on the gun model. A bunch of valves, rubberized stoppers, and seals keep the green gas housed in the pistol magazine prior to when the handgun’s trigger is pulled. It is a good choice to top off and fill up your green gas reserves in the pistol mag each time you load it into the gun. Pistol-wielding airsoft players can also take extra bottles of green gas or propane in the field for reloading in-between breaks in the fight or in-between game play.
When bringing a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a secondary or main gun, bringing extra mags is highly recommended for rapidly reloading and engaging the op force. Having extra magazines helps you join in the action in the middle of firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas handguns are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are typically not enabled to be used during indoor game play. This is a safety standard because of the close quarters distance of airsoft players during the shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas handguns can still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel assists to keep the joules and energy moving the BB lower compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various sorts of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback pistols. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
While green gas typically performs extremely well on the airsoft field, it does have restrictions. This includes when they are used during the winter airsoft season in the snow or in colder weather (like less than 32 degrees F). Given that the green gas or propane gas is kept in the magazine by rubber seals and gaskets, cold temperatures can impact these seals and make the gas to escape before shooting airsoft BBs. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to just shoot several feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the pistol would normally shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer temperatures).
One solution to this problem is to make the GBB handgun mags warmer by placing them next to your body, beside a heater, or inside your jacket prior to the airsoft game play starts. If you truly desire to play with a trustworthy airsoft handgun in the cold, it might also be worth getting a CO2 version of your preferred handgun.
Info on Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong springs with irregular pitches that launch the airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel. They are normally only able to shoot one BB. The manual action of shooting, reloading, and cocking spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols. This makes them fun to use, but they are usually less efficient when running into adversaries on the airsoft field with fully auto airsoft AEG SMGs and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft handguns.
Spring sidearms perform most effectively in springer battles where game players can solely use similar, single shot spring handguns or as an alternative weapon for CQB settings when you can frequently surprise other airsoft opponents to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a quick second followup shot isn’t really needed due to the fact that the other person is now hit and out of the game or heading back to respawn. Beware when attacking a number of foes because the springer just shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Handgun Efficiency
Spring guns are extremely useful under the most ideal scenarios. Their FPS generally chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These weapons normally fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the coiled springs are less powerful than other types of airsoft guns like SMGs. Spring handguns can generally shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but precision diminishes rapidly. Using conventional 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a reduced range of around 60 to 80 feet with increased accuracy.
Facts About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to use as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s grip. They operate much like an AEG rifle and use compressed air forced through electrically cycled gearboxes and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG handgun magazines usually hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has actually risen considerably in the last few years. The earliest gens were a bit sketchy and unreliable, however the new models have most of the issues resolved and make efficient airsoft secondary guns. They can be modded with maximized magazine storage capacities and also accommodating larger batteries.
A huge advantage of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the connectors to use a larger battery. Depending on the AEG pistol type, you can get a huge increase in performance by using a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) instead of the stock AEP battery.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me?
Selecting the best airsoft handgun for you depends on how much you can afford, how much you intend to play airsoft with it, and where you plan to play. If you can use $100 or more to invest in your airsoft pistol, look into a green gas blowback or GBB handgun or AEG handgun. These are typically the top of the line, have the very best efficiency, and can be a pretty good gun to invest in. Look at a CO2 pistol or cheaper green gas GBB pistol if you have between $50 to $100 to buy a gun. These mid-tier guns will still get the job done and can be pretty tough sidearms. Look for a lower end CO2 or spring pistol if you have less than $50. You can still get a heavy-duty airsoft pistol to use for the pistol games.
