How to Pick an Airsoft Pistol
Learn about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Numerous airsoft pistols are completely approved and licensed releases of their actual pistol equivalents and operate and appear in the same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than authentic bullets.
There are a number of kinds of airsoft sidearms including CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric sidearms. Each of these types of handguns has negatives and positives associated with them. Learning more about the styles of airsoft pistols lets you figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
About CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most durable and popular types of sidearms. These handguns use CO2 stored in small cylinders to force airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel.
These forms of airsoft pistols are excellent for airsoft games in cooler weather conditions because the pressurized CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less vulnerable to performance decreases by low temperature. This offers very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for example where other styles of pistols like green gas stop working or barely shoot pellets.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by typical 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look like a shiny cylinder and contain high-pressure CO2 gas consisting of 1 carbon atom and two oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The CO2 gas cartridge cylinders cannot be refilled and you can commonly order them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to retain the CO2 gas safely and securely within, but when they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft weapon breaks the seal) they will begin to lose pressure if they are not expended. You need to attempt to consume the entire CO2 cartridge the exact same day you open the seal. Use the opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the excess gas if the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level indication on the cartridge so you need to shoot until the handgun stops shooting airsoft BBs.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while if they are kept sealed. They do have the maker’s use by date typically marked on the box or cylinder, but they will probably maintain pressure for a very long period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not punctured.
Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 handguns, however they use green gas or propane instead of CO2 cartridges. The result on the battlefield and green gas weapon performance is almost the exact same as CO2 handguns with the weapons shooting up to 300+ FPS.
The propane is stashed in the pistol’s airsoft mag that can commonly hold around 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending on the handgun model. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas pressurized in the magazine before the handgun’s trigger is pulled.
When bringing a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a backup or primary weapon, bringing additional handgun magazines is suggested for rapidly reloading and engaging opponents. Having additional mags allows you to join in the action throughout firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas handguns are great for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are usually not allowed to be used during indoor game play. This is an essential safety standard due to the close range proximity of gamers during the shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas pistols still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy forcing the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various forms of green gas airsoft handguns. To begin with there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These handguns function like a genuine pistol with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. The gas induces the slide to cycle every time when a fresh airsoft BB is chambered. The result is extremely cool, but the GBB pistols often cost more and likely have more that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a stationary slide which does not move. The non-blowback handguns commonly cost less than GBBs. Performance is around the same between the two kinds of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
Since the green gas or propane is housed in the pistol magazine using rubber o-rings, seals, and gaskets, cold weather can negatively affect these gaskets and cause the stored gas to escape prior to shooting the pistol. The decrease in pressure can make the airsoft BBs to simply land a number of feet (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when the green gas pistol would typically shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather).
One option to fix this challenge is to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by positioning them near your body before airsoft game play. This can help to warm the seals, gaskets, and valves and help to seal in the green gas. If you really desire to play with a dependable airsoft handgun in the cold, it can also be better to check out a CO2 version of your favorite handgun. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and the gun will shoot far better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by powerful springs with irregular pitches that launch the BBs down the gun barrel. They are usually one shot. The manual actions of cocking, shooting, and reloading spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns. When going up against rivals on the airsoft field with advanced weaponry, auto airsoft AEG SMGs, sniper rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft handguns, this can make spring airsoft guns enjoyable to use, but less effective.
Spring sidearms and guns work best in springer wars where participants can solely use similar, single shot spring pistols or as a transitional backup gun for CQB environments when you can usually quietly sneak up on other airsoft game players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a fast second followup shot isn’t needed because the other opponent is already hit and out of the gameplay or heading back to respawn. Be careful when attacking multiple opponents due to the fact that the spring weapon just shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Handgun Effectiveness
Spring guns are very effective under the best game circumstances. Their FPS usually chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These weapons usually fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs because the coiled springs are less powerful than other types of airsoft weapons. Spring pistols can usually shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however accuracy decreases rapidly. Choosing regular 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a range of about 60 to 80 feet with increased accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to carry as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s grip. They work just like an AEG SMG and use pressured air forced through electrically cycled gearboxes and cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol magazines typically can hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has grown considerably in recent years. The initial generations were a bit unreliable and sketchy, but the latest models have most of the problems resolved and make effective airsoft backup weapons. They can be further modded with increased magazine storage capacities as well as accommodating more powerful batteries.
A substantial benefit of using an AEG pistol is that you have the power to rewire the battery connections to use a bigger battery. Depending on the AEG handgun design, you can gain a huge jump in performance by using a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as an alternative for the stock AEP battery.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me to Play with?
Choosing the right airsoft pistol for you depends on how much you can afford, how much you plan to play airsoft using it, and where you plan to play. Look at a green gas blowback handgun or AEG pistol if you have over $100 to spend on your airsoft pistol. These kinds of handguns are normally the top of the line, have good build qualities, and are usually a good gun to invest in. Consider a CO2 handgun or less expensive GBB handgun if you have around fifty to one-hundred dollars to buy a gun. Middle of the road guns like these will still function well and are sturdy sidearms. If you have less than fifty dollars, search for a lower end CO2 or springer pistol. You can still get a strong airsoft handgun to use for the pistol games.
