How to Choose an Airsoft Pistol
Find info about airsoft handguns and pistols and how you can use them as backup weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your accuracy and getting the right sidearm can make an impact in hitting your shots. Handguns, naturally, are shorter range airsoft guns. They are usually constructed after actual handguns or imitations of genuine pistols. A large number of airsoft handguns are fully certified adaptations of their real-world gun counterparts. These airsoft guns can function in the same ways and look identical to the real guns they are modeled around while firing airsoft BBs instead of real bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns consisting of CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these varieties of sidearms has positives and negatives related to them. Learning more about the types of airsoft sidearms allows you to decide which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most popular and heavy duty styles of pistols. They are all-weather weapons and function well in a lot of kinds of weather, varying temperatures, and environments. These handguns use pressurized CO2 gas to move airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel. The CO2 cartridge is typically housed in the handgun’s magazine.
These kinds of airsoft guns are exceptional for playing airsoft in cold weather conditions because the high pressure CO2 gas is less vulnerable to performance decreases caused by low temperature. This fact offers very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for instance where other types of airsoft handguns like green gas stuffer from low performance or barely fire BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft guns are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a metal cylinder and store high pressure CO2 gas comprised of just one carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms, so the molecular formula of “C + O2 “. These atoms are bonded in the following order “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cartridges under really high pressure of about ~ 800psi which converts to 55bar.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely within, but the moment 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 games end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the remaining gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They come with a maker’s best used by date usually noted on the box or cartridge, but they will probably survive for a long period past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Details About Green Gas Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 handguns, however they use green gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The effect on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon efficiency is virtually the very same as CO2 pistols with the weapons at around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is stored in the pistol’s grip within the magazine which can frequently hold in-between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the handgun style. A set of valves, silicone gaskets, and seals keep the propane gas housed in the pistol mag up to when the handgun’s trigger is pulled. It is a great habit to top off and fill up your propane reserves in the magazine each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding players can also take extra bottles of green gas in the field for refilling magazines in-between breaks in the war or in-between games.
When playing with a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a main or secondary gun, bringing additional magazines is strongly recommended for quickly reloading. Having extra magazines allows you to reengage in the action in the course of firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas pistols are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields considering that long guns and full-sized AEGs are normally not enabled to be used for indoor game play. This is an essential safety standard because of the close quarters proximity of players during the shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas handguns can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel assists to keep the joules and energy forcing the BB at a decreased level compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different styles of green gas airsoft handguns. First, there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These handguns function like a real pistol with the gun’s slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. The propane gas triggers the slide to cycle every time a fresh airsoft BB is chambered. This effect is very cool, but the handguns frequently cost more and likely have more parts to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a fixed slide which does not move. The non-blowback guns typically cost less than GBBs. Performance is about the same between the two types of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
Because the green gas or propane is housed in the magazine by rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold temps can negatively influence these seals and cause the gas to escape prior to shooting. This can make the airsoft BBs to only shoot a couple of feet away (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the green gas handgun would typically shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather conditions).
One fix for this challenge is to try to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by placing them inside your jacket next to your body just before the airsoft game play. This can help to warm the seals, gaskets, and valves and better seal in the green gas. It might also be worth buying a CO2 variation of your favorite handgun if you really want to play with a reputable airsoft handgun in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and perform far better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Pistol Info
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by strong springs that send the BBs out of the pistol’s barrel. The manual functioning of cocking, reloading, and firing spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns.
Spring sidearms and guns perform most effectively in springer battles where opponents can solely use similar, single shot spring pistols or as an alternative backup weapon for CQB settings when you can often quietly sneak up on other airsoft participants to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a rapid second followup shot is not really needed due to the fact that the other person is already hit by the airsoft BB and out of the game play or running back to respawn. When engaging several enemies considering that the springer simply shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Handgun Effectiveness
Spring handguns are remarkably efficient under the proper circumstances and airsoft games. Their FPS usually chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs. These weapons typically fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the pitched springs are less effective than other kinds of airsoft guns like rifles. Spring handguns can generally engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however precision diminishes quickly. Using basic 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a reduced shooting distance of around 60 to 80 feet with heightened precision.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to use as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s grip. They work much like an AEG SMG and use forced air forced through electrically cycled pistons, cylinders, and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and rapidly.
AEG pistol magazines usually store about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs approximately about 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or about 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electrical gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which depends on if you have enough magazines to reload and the battery holds out that long. These AEP handguns can effectively fire airsoft BBs at around 150 foot ranges.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has increased substantially recently. The early generation AEP guns were a little bit questionable and undependable, but the latest designs have most of the deficiencies worked out and make efficient airsoft backup guns. They can be further upgraded with enhanced mag capacities and by accommodating larger batteries.
A large advantage of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the ability to rewire the connections to use a larger battery. Depending on the AEG handgun style, you can gain a large jump in performance by employing a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) rather than the stock battery.
Which Airsoft Handgun is Right for Me?
Selecting the best airsoft handgun for you depends on how much you can afford, how often you desire to play airsoft using it, and where you hope to play. If you can use over one-hundred dollars to invest in your airsoft handgun, take a look at a green gas blowback or GBB pistol or AEG handgun. These are typically the best of the best, have the best build qualities, and could be a great pistol to purchase. If you have in-between fifty to one-hundred dollars to spend on upgrading your airsoft arsenal, look into a CO2 pistol or cheaper green gas blowback pistol. Middle of the road guns like these will still function well and are pretty durable sidearms. Look for a cheap CO2 or spring handgun if you have less than $50. You can still buy a resilient airsoft handgun to use for the handgun games.
