How to Pick an Airsoft Handgun
Learn about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your accuracy and getting the ideal sidearm can make all the difference in aiming your shots. Pistols, by nature, are shorter range airsoft guns. They are typically constructed after actual sidearms or models of real pistols. Numerous airsoft pistols are completely licensed reproductions of their real world weapon counterparts. These airsoft guns can look and function in the same ways almost identically to the real guns they are designed around while blasting airsoft BBs in place of genuine bullets.
There are a number of types of airsoft pistols consisting of CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these types of sidearms come with benefits and differences related to them. Finding out about the styles of airsoft pistols allows you to decide which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft guns are one of the most long lasting and common types of handguns. These handguns use CO2 stored in small cylinders to move airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel.
These forms of airsoft handguns are great for airsoft games in cold temperatures due to the fact that the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less vulnerable to variation by low temperature. This provides exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for example where other kinds of airsoft sidearms like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly shoot BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a shiny cylinder and contain high-pressure CO2 gas consisting of 1 carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms hence the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely within, but as soon as they are opened (firing them inside of an airsoft weapon breaks the seal) they will begin 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 handgun target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while. They have a manufacturer’s expiry date usually listed on the package or cylinder, but they may survive for an extended period past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Green Gas Airsoft Pistol Info
Green gas airsoft handguns resemble CO2 guns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. As an alternative, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to shoot the airsoft pellets. The operational impact on game play and green gas sidearm operation is almost the same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to 300+ feet per second. Shots are efficiently fired in semi-automatic or fully-automatic shooting modes and can accurately hit targets at shorter to mid-range proximities.
The green gas is sealed in the handgun’s magazine and can typically hold roughly 15 to 20+ BBs depending upon the gun design. A bunch of valves, rubber gaskets, and o-rings keep the propane gas sealed in the mag until the pistol’s trigger is squeezed. It is a good choice to top off and refill your propane supply in your mag each time you load it into the gun. Pistol-wielding airsoft players can even take surplus bottles of propane gas in the field for reloading mags between breaks in the battle or in-between games.
When using a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or backup weapon, bringing extra magazines is strongly recommended for rapidly reloading and engaging opponents. Having additional mags on-hand allows you to get back in the action throughout firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas pistols are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields given that long guns and full-sized AEGs are usually not permitted to be used during indoor game play. This is a safety guideline due to the close range distance of gamers during the shooting engagements. While green gas handguns can still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel assists to keep the joules and energy forcing the BB at a lower level compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different varieties of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs and non-blowback pistols. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas normally performs very well on the airsoft field, it does have limits. This includes when they are played with in the winter season in the snow or in colder weather (like under 32 degrees F). Considering that the green gas or propane gas is held in the weapon’s mag using silicone seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold weather can negatively impact the seals and cause the stored gas to seep out prior to shooting airsoft BBs. The depressurized gas can cause the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when it would typically shoot BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather).
One solution to this issue is to make the GBB pistol magazines warmer by placing them near your body before airsoft game play. This can help to warm up the seals and valves and help to seal in the green gas. It may also be worth getting a CO2 version of your favorite pistol if you really want to play with a reputable airsoft pistol in the cold. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and these guns shoot far better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by powerful coil springs that propel the airsoft BBs down the gun barrel. They are usually one shot. The manual functioning of reloading, cocking, and shooting spring airsoft guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns. When fighting opponents on the airsoft field with upgraded rifles, automatic airsoft AEG SMGs, assault rifles, and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols, this can make them fun to use, however less effective.
Spring sidearms and guns work most effectively in springer wars where opponents can exclusively use similar, single shot spring pistols or as a close quarters combat backup weapon for CQB settings when you can frequently sneak up to other airsoft participants to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a fast second followup shot will not be required since the other player is now hit by the first BB and out of the game play or going back to respawn. When engaging many different players since the gun just shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be cautious.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring guns are incredibly reliable under the appropriate game circumstances. Their FPS commonly chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These guns usually fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs since the coiled springs are less effective than other styles of airsoft weapons. Spring handguns can generally be accurate at up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however the ability to hit targets accurately is reduced rapidly. Choosing basic 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a reduced shooting distance of about 60 to 80 feet or less with enhanced precision.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistol Information
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to bring as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s butt. They operate just like an AEG rifle and use pressurized air pumped through electrically cycled pistons and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG pistol mags normally hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has risen considerably in recent years. The initial generation guns were a little bit questionable and undependable, however the newer models have the problems worked out and make effective airsoft secondary weapons. They can be modified with enhanced mag capacities and also accommodating larger batteries.
A large advantage of using an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the connectors to use a larger battery. Depending on the AEG pistol design, you can gain a sizable increase in functionality by employing a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as an alternative for the stock mini battery.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me to Play with?
If you have over $100 to spend on your airsoft pistol, you may want to consider a green gas blowback handgun or AEG pistol. If you have in-between fifty to one-hundred dollars to buy a gun, evaluate a CO2 handgun or more affordable GBB pistol. You can still find a long lasting airsoft handgun by checking out cheaper pistols and by trading with players selling used airsoft handguns if you are trying to save money.
