How to Choose an Airsoft Handgun
Learn about airsoft handguns and sidearms and how you can use them as backup weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Numerous airsoft pistols are completely licensed editions of their authentic gun counterparts and look and function in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than genuine bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols including CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these styles of handguns come with positives and negatives connected with them. Learning more about the styles of airsoft handguns allows you to choose which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most heavy duty and typical types of handguns. They are all-season, all-weather pistols working well in a lot of kinds of weather conditions and climates. These pistols use pressurized CO2 gas to shoot airsoft BBs down the gun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within the cylinder and is generally stored in the gun’s magazine in the handle.
These styles of airsoft weapons are great choices for playing airsoft in cooler weather conditions since the high pressure CO2 gas is less susceptible to variation with low temperatures. This offers excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for instance where other types of handguns like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly fire pellets.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges resemble a metallic cylinder and contain high pressure CO2 gas made up of 1 carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, however as soon as they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft weapon breaks the seal) they will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the remaining gas.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if they are stored sealed. They come with a manufacturer’s expiration date typically printed on the package or cartridge cylinder, however they will likely stay pressurized for a prolonged time past this date if the cartridge seal is not punctured.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Sidearm Info
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 pistols, but they use green gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The effect on the battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is practically the exact same as CO2 handguns with the guns at around 300+ FPS.
The propane gas is kept in the handgun’s mag which can typically hold around 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending on the pistol model. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and silicone seals keep the gas stored in the magazine until the handgun’s trigger is squeezed.
When running a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a backup or primary gun, additional mags are highly recommended for rapidly reloading and getting back into the game. Having extra mags on-hand helps you re engage in the action during firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas handguns are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields considering rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are typically not permitted to be used during indoor engagements. This is a safety regulation because of the close quarters distance of airsoft players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be 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 pushing 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 two different styles 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 use a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
While green gas generally performs extremely well, it does have limits. When green gas and GBB guns are used throughout the winter airsoft games in the snow or in cold temperatures (like under 32 degrees F). Given that the green gas or propane gas is held in the pistol mag by silicone seals and gaskets, the cold can impair these seals and make the gas to escape before shooting airsoft BBs. The depressurized gas can make the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the gun would usually shoot BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer temperatures).
One option to this problem is to keep the GBB pistol magazines warmer by putting them next to your body or by a heater just before the airsoft game play starts. If you really want to play with a reliable airsoft pistol in the cold, it may also be worth getting a CO2 variation of your favorite pistol.
Spring Airsoft Sidearm Info
Spring airsoft guns are powered by powerful springs that propel the airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel. They are generally one shot only. The manual actions of cocking, reloading, and shooting spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols. This makes them enjoyable to use, yet they can be less practical when running into other players on the airsoft field with upgraded weapons and fully automatic airsoft AEG assault rifles and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols.
Spring sidearms perform most effectively in springer battles where opponents can only use related, single shot spring handguns or as an alternative weapon for CQB buildings when you can frequently surprise other airsoft participants to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a fast 2nd follow-up shot will not be really needed given that the other opponent is now hit and out of the game play or moving back to respawn. When engaging multiple opponents given that the spring gun simply fires as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Handgun Effectiveness
Spring guns are incredibly useful under the appropriate conditions. Their FPS often chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12g airsoft BBs. These weapons typically fire lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the pitched springs are less powerful than other types of airsoft weapons. Spring pistols can generally shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but the ability to engage targets accurately diminishes quickly. Choosing standard 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a shooting distance of about 60 to 80 feet or less with enhanced precision.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to use 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 similar to an AEG gun and use compressed air pumped through electrically cycled gearboxes, pistons, and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol magazines generally can carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs as high as about 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS when loaded with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electrical gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which is estimated if you have enough spare mags to reload the gun and the battery lasts that long. These pistols can accurately fire airsoft BBs at about 150 foot ranges.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually risen substantially over the last few years. The earliest gen AEP guns were a little bit sketchy and undependable, but the latest versions have the bugs worked out and make efficient airsoft secondary weapons. They can be further upgraded with maximized magazine storage capacities in addition to accommodating more powerful batteries.
A large advantage of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the connections to use a larger capacity battery. Depending on the AEG handgun model, you can get a large output in functionality by using a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) rather than the stock mini battery.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me to Play with?
If you have more than one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft handgun, evaluate a GBB handgun or AEG handgun. If you have around fifty to one-hundred dollars to buy a gun, evaluate a CO2 handgun or less expensive GBB pistol. You can still get a resilient airsoft pistol by checking out lower end pistols and by trading with other players in the used gun market if you are on a budget.
