How to Choose an Airsoft Pistol
Learn about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as backup guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your shot accuracy and getting the best pistol can make all the difference in improving your shots. Handguns, naturally, are reduced range airsoft guns. They are typically created after real world handguns or reproductions of real pistols. A lot of airsoft handguns are completely licensed adaptations of their real-world gun equivalents. These airsoft guns can visually appear and function (without shooting bullets) in the same ways identical to the real guns they are designed around while blasting airsoft BBs rather than real world bullets.
There are a number of types of airsoft handguns including CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these forms of sidearms have benefits and differences connected with them. Learning about the varieties of airsoft handguns helps you make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Handgun Details
CO2 airsoft guns are one of the most typical and heavy duty types of sidearms. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to send airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel.
These kinds of airsoft handguns are very good for playing airsoft in cold weather conditions because the pressurized CO2 gas is less vulnerable to performance decreases caused by temperature. This provides great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for instance where other sorts of pistols like green gas stop performing or barely shoot pellets.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look like a metallic cylinder and store high-pressure CO2 gas comprised of just one carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms, hence the molecular formula is “C + O2 “. These atoms are bound in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cylinders under extremely high pressure of near ~ 800psi which correlates to 55bar.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely inside, but once they are opened (firing them inside of an airsoft handgun breaks the cartridge seal) they will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft games 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.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while. They have the manufacturer’s expiry date usually noted on the box or cylinder, but they will maintain pressure for an extended period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft handguns function similarly to CO2 pistols, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Instead, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to propel the airsoft pellets. The result on the battlefield and green gas sidearm functionality is just about the same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to about 300+ feet per second. Shots are rapidly fired in semi-automatic or fully-automatic shooting modes and can hit targets at shorter to mid-range proximities.
The green gas is kept in the handgun’s grip within the magazine and can often hold roughly 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the gun model. A set of valves, rubber gaskets, and o-rings keep the propane pressurized in the mag up to when the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a good choice to top off and refill the green gas supply in the magazine each time you load it into the handgun. Pistol-wielding gamers can additionally carry additional bottles of propane in the field for reloading magazines in-between breaks in the fight or in-between games.
When using a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a main or backup gun, extra magazines are encouraged for quickly reloading. Having extra magazines on-hand allows you to get back in the action in the course of firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas handguns are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles and full-sized AEGs are generally not permitted to be used for indoor shooting. This is an essential safety guideline because of the close quarters distance of gamers during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas pistols still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel helps to keep the joules and energy moving the BB lower compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different forms of green gas airsoft pistols. First, there are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These handguns run like a real pistol with the pistol slide “blowing back” with every shot. Every time a new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber, the gas triggers the slide to cycle. The result is really cool, however the GBB guns usually are more expensive and likely have more which can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns have a fixed slide which does not move. The non-blowback guns generally cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is around the same when comparing the two varieties of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
While green gas normally performs effectively on the airsoft field, it does have restrictions. When green gas and GBB guns are used throughout the winter in the snow or in colder temps (such as under 32 degrees F). Because the green gas or propane gas is held in the weapon’s magazine by silicone seals and gaskets, cold weather can impact these seals and trigger the stored gas to escape before firing the handgun. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to just shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the gun would usually shoot BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temps).
One option to fix this challenge is to keep the GBB handgun magazines warmer by placing them close to your body before game play. This can help to heat up the rubber seals and better seal in the green gas. If you definitely prefer to have fun with a reliable airsoft pistol in the cold, it can also be worth checking out a CO2 variation of your preferred pistol. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and these guns shoot much better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Handgun Information
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by powerful springs with irregular pitches that propel the BBs out of the gun barrel. They are generally able to only shoot one BB at a time. The manual action of cocking, firing, and reloading spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols. When confronting attackers on the airsoft field with upgraded weapons, automatic airsoft AEG rifles and CO2 or GBB airsoft handguns, this makes spring airsoft pistols entertaining to use, but less efficient.
Spring sidearms work the best in springer wars where participants can just use related, single shot spring pistols or as a transitional backup gun for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can usually quietly sneak up on other airsoft players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a fast second followup shot is not called for because the other opponent is now hit by the airsoft BB and out of the gameplay or moving back to respawn. Look out when engaging numerous foes since the weapon just shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Handgun Effectiveness
Spring guns are considerably useful under the best conditions during games. Their FPS often chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs. These weapons usually fire lighter weight airsoft BBs since the pitched springs are less powerful than other types of airsoft guns like SMGs. Spring handguns can usually shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however precision is reduced quickly. Using regular 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a decreased shooting distance of around 60 to 80 feet or less with increased target accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to bring into the field as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s handle. They function just like an AEG gun and use compressed air pumped through electrically cycled pistons, gearboxes, and cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol magazines typically carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can launch airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually risen substantially in recent years. The early generations were a bit sketchy and unreliable, however the newer designs have the problems worked out and make efficient airsoft secondary guns. They can be modified with enhanced mag capacities together with accommodating bigger batteries.
A huge benefit of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the connectors to use a more substantial battery. Depending on the AEG pistol type, you can gain a sizable increase in efficiency by taking advantage of a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as an alternative for the stock battery.
What Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me to Buy?
Selecting the ideal airsoft sidearm for you depends upon your gun budget, how often you plan to play airsoft with it, and where you plan to play. If you can afford over $100 to spend on your airsoft pistol, look into a green gas blowback handgun or AEP pistol. These are normally the top-tier guns, have the best performance, and can be a great gun to get. Check out a CO2 pistol or less expensive green gas GBB handgun if you have in-between $50 to $100 to put into an airsoft gun purchase. Middle of the road guns like these will still get the job done and are pretty long lasting sidearms. If you have $50 or less, shop for a low end CO2 or spring handgun. You can still get a well-built airsoft handgun to use for the pistol games.
