How to Choose an Airsoft Handgun
Learn more about airsoft handguns and pistols and how you can use them as backup weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the ideal handgun and practicing with it can make a big difference in hitting your shots. Handguns, naturally, are reduced range airsoft weapons. They are frequently made after authentic guns or copies of legitimate handguns. A lot of airsoft pistols are completely certified variations of their authentic handgun counterparts. These airsoft guns can run in the same ways and look identical to the real guns they are modeled around while blasting airsoft BBs as opposed to authentic bullets.
There are a number of types of airsoft handguns consisting of CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun pistols. Each of these forms of sidearms have negatives and positives associated with them. Learning about the kinds of airsoft handguns allows you to figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft handguns are among the most long-lasting and typical varieties of pistols. They are all season handguns and work well in many kinds of weather and environments. These handguns use pressurized CO2 gas to move airsoft BBs down the pistol barrel. The CO2 cartridge is normally located in the pistol’s handle.
These kinds of airsoft guns are excellent for playing airsoft in colder temperatures given that the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less prone to performance decreases by low temperatures. This fact gives CO2 airsoft guns excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the wintertime for example where other sorts of airsoft sidearms like green gas cease to work or barely shoot BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges resemble a metallic cylinder and store high pressured CO2 gas consisting of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The CO2 gas cylinders cannot be refilled and you can commonly purchase them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to retain the CO2 gas safely and securely inside, but the moment they are opened (firing them in an airsoft pistol breaks the cartridge seal) the cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are not used up. You need to try to run through the entire CO2 cartridge the very same day you open the seal. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some pistol target practice and expend the rest of the surplus gas. There is no gas level indication on the cartridge so you need to shoot up until the handgun stops shooting.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while if the cylinders are stored sealed. They do have the maker’s expiration date usually printed on the package or cartridge cylinder, however they will likely last for a long period past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 pistols, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Alternatively, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to propel the airsoft pellets. The operational impact on airsoft games and green gas sidearm effectiveness is almost the same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to about 300+ feet-per-second (FPS). Shots are quickly fired in semi-automatic or automatic shooting modes and can hit targets at shorter to mid-range proximities.
The green gas is stashed in the pistol’s magazine which can frequently hold around 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the pistol type. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and seals keep the gas stored in the mag till the handgun’s trigger is squeezed.
When playing with a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or backup weapon, bringing additional handgun magazines is recommended for rapidly reloading and engaging opponents. Having extra mags on-hand helps you reengage in the action in the middle of firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas handguns are great for CQB at airsoft fields given that long guns and full-sized AEGs are generally not permitted to be used for indoor game play. This is an essential safety regulation due to the close quarters distance of players during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy sending the BB lower compared to AEGs, airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different kinds of green gas airsoft pistols. First there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These handguns function like a realistic handgun with the slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. Each time a fresh airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber, the gas causes the slide to cycle. This functionality is extremely cool, but the GBB pistols usually are more expensive and possibly have more parts to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns have a fixed slide which does not move. The non-blowback handguns commonly cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same when comparing the two types of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
Since the green gas or propane is kept in the handgun mag by using rubber o-rings, seals, and gaskets, the cold can negatively influence these gaskets and cause the gas to leak out before shooting the pistol. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to just land a number of feet away (like 10 feet in cold weather ) when the GBB handgun would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather conditions).
One strategy to this problem is to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by placing them next to your body or near a heat source prior to the airsoft game play. If you absolutely want to play with a reliable airsoft pistol in the cold, it might also be worth getting a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun.
Spring Airsoft Sidearm Details
Spring airsoft guns are powered by powerful coil springs that launch the BBs out of the handgun’s barrel. The manual action of reloading, cocking, and shooting spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB guns.
Spring pistols perform most effectively in springer battles where players can only use comparable, single shot spring handguns or as a transition weapon for CQB buildings when you can frequently sneak up to other airsoft players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a quick 2nd followup shot will not be really needed considering that the other player is already hit by the first BB and out of the gameplay or running back to respawn. Be careful when fighting numerous opponents given that the springer just fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring guns are incredibly useful under the right game circumstances. Their FPS normally chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These handguns usually fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs because the coiled springs are less powerful than other styles of airsoft guns like SMGs. Spring pistols can usually shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however the ability to hit targets accurately diminishes quickly. Using normal 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a decreased shooting distance of about 60 to 80 feet or less with improved accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely an option to carry as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are often powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s butt. They work much like an AEG rifle and use compressed air forced through electrically cycled pistons, gearboxes, and cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol magazines normally hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually risen considerably recently. The initial generations were a little bit unreliable and questionable, however the latest versions have the problems worked out and make efficient airsoft secondary weapons. They can be further modded with increased mag capacities and by accommodating bigger batteries.
A massive benefit of using an AEG handgun is that you have the power to rewire the connectors to use a larger battery. Depending on the AEG handgun style, you can gain a sizable output in efficiency by employing a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as an alternative for the stock mini battery.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me to Buy?
Finding the right airsoft handgun for you depends on how much you want to spend, how often you want to play airsoft using it, and where you hope to play. Look into a green gas blowback pistol or automatic electric AEP pistol if you have over $100 to spend on your airsoft handgun. These kinds of guns are typically the top of the line, have the best build qualities, and could be a great investment. If you have about $50 to $100 to spend on upgrading your airsoft arsenal, look into a CO2 handgun or a less expensive green gas handgun. Mid-tier guns like these will still function well and will be pretty sturdy sidearms. Look for a lower end CO2 or spring handgun if you have $50 or less. You can still buy a tough airsoft handgun to use for the handgun games.
