How to Pick an Airsoft Pistol
Find out about airsoft pistols and how you can use them as backup guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your shot accuracy and getting the best handgun can make all the difference in aiming your shots. Sidearms, by nature, are short range airsoft weapons. They are often made after real-world handguns or replicas of authentic handguns. Many different airsoft sidearms are fully certified releases of their real world weapon counterparts. These airsoft guns can appear and function (without shooting bullets) in the same ways similarly to the real guns they are designed after while shooting airsoft BBs rather than real bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols including CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these varieties of handguns has benefits and differences related to them. Learning more about the styles of airsoft sidearms allows you to decide which type is right for you and your airsoft gameplay style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most common and sturdy types of pistols. They are all weather guns working well in a lot of kinds of weather and climates. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to propel airsoft BBs down the pistol barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within a cylinder and is normally stored in the handgun’s magazine.
These kinds of airsoft handguns are great choices for airsoft games in cooler weather considering that the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less vulnerable to variation caused by low temperatures. This provides great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for instance where other types of airsoft pistols like green gas stop operating or barely shoot airsoft BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges resemble a metal cylinder and contain high pressured CO2 gas made up of just one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, consequently the molecular formula comes out to be “C + O2 “. These atoms are bonded in the following order “O= C =O”. The gas is stored in the 12 gram cylinders under extremely high pressure of around ~ 800psi that correlates to 55bar.
The CO2 cartridge cylinders cannot be refilled and you can normally buy them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to retain the CO2 gas safely inside, once they are opened (firing them in an airsoft pistol breaks the seal) the cartridges will begin to lose pressure if they are not used up. You need to attempt to dissipate the entire CO2 cartridge the exact same day you open the seal. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas leftover, use the opportunity to do some pistol accuracy and target practice and consume the rest of the extra gas. There is no gas level indication on the cartridge so you have to shoot until the pistol stops shooting BBs.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if the cylinders are stored sealed. They do have a supplier’s use by date usually noted on the package or cylinder, but they will likely stay pressurized for a very long time past this date if the cartridge seals are not broken.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Handgun Info
Green gas airsoft sidearms resemble CO2 handguns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. As an alternative, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to propel the airsoft pellets. The outcome on the battlefield and green gas handgun operation is virtually the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to 300+ FPS. Shots are rapidly fired in semi-automatic or automatic firing modes and can hit targets at short to mid-range distances.
The propane gas is held in the pistol’s mag that can normally hold in-between 15 to 20+ BBs based on the handgun type. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone o-rings keep the gas stored in the magazine till the pistol’s trigger is pulled.
When using a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a backup or main weapon, bringing additional mags is advised for quickly reloading and engaging opponents. Having extra magazines on-hand allows you to re engage in the action in the middle of firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas pistols are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles and full-sized AEGs are typically not enabled to be used for indoor gameplay. This is an essential safety rule because of the close range proximity of players during 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 assists to keep the joules and energy moving the BB at a lower level compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various styles of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These pistols run like a real pistol with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. The propane triggers the slide to cycle every time when a new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. The result is really cool, but the GBB guns often are more expensive and likely have more that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns have a fixed slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback pistols typically cost less than GBBs. Performance is about the same between the two kinds of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas normally works very well, it does have issues. When they are used in the winter season in the snow or in colder temps (such as below 32 degrees F). Since the green gas or propane is kept in the mag by silicone seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold temperatures can affect the seals and cause the stored gas to escape prior to shooting airsoft BBs. This can make the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the pistol would typically shoot BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer temperatures).
One solution to this problem is to keep the GBB handgun magazines warmer by placing them next to your body or near a heat source just before the airsoft game play starts. If you really desire to play with a trustworthy airsoft handgun in the cold, it may additionally be worth getting a CO2 style of your preferred handgun.
Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by powerful coil springs that propel the BBs down the pistol barrel. They are usually one shot. The manual action of cocking, reloading, and firing spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB handguns. This makes them enjoyable to use, however they are less useful when dealing with attackers on the airsoft field with advanced guns like automatic airsoft AEG SMGs and CO2, green gas, or GBB airsoft pistols.
Spring guns perform the best in springer battles where participants can just use related, single shot spring weapons or as a transition backup gun for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can frequently sneak up to other airsoft participants to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a fast 2nd followup shot will not be really needed since the other player is already hit and out of the game or running back to respawn. When engaging several airsoft players since the weapon only fires as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be cautious.
About Spring Pistol Efficiency
Spring pistols are very efficient under the most ideal conditions during games. Spring pistols can usually shoot accurately up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12g BBs but the ability to engage targets reduces rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistol Info
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to bring as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s grip. They operate much like an AEG rifle and use pressurized air forced through electrically cycled gearboxes, pistons, and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG pistol mags generally store around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs up to around 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+ 6mm BBs per minute assuming you have enough spare mags to reload and the battery lasts that long. These AEP pistols can efficiently fire airsoft BBs at around 150 foot distances.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually increased significantly in recent years. The first gen guns were a bit undependable and questionable, however the newer models have the problems worked out and make effective airsoft secondary weapons. They can be modified with enhanced magazine storage capacities and also accommodating bigger batteries.
A huge benefit of using an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the wires to use an increased capacity battery with higher mAh. Depending on the AEG pistol design, you may be able to get a large output in functionality utilizing a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as opposed to the standard AEP battery. Beware of modifying the components and the gun’s wires because you have to think about the volts, mAh, and loads of the battery. Ask a qualified airsoft specialist at your closest airsoft shop or store if you have customization issues.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me to Play with?
Finding the ideal airsoft pistol for you depends on how much you want to spend, how often you desire to play airsoft using it, and where you hope to play. If you can afford over $100 to spend on your airsoft handgun, take a look at a green gas blowback or GBB pistol or AEP pistol. These kinds of guns are normally the top-tier guns, have great build qualities, and can be a good investment. If you have about more than fifty but less than one-hundred dollars to devote to your airsoft gun purchase, look at a CO2 pistol or a cheaper green gas pistol. These mid-tier guns will still function well and are resilient sidearms. Look for a low end CO2 or spring handgun if you have $50 or less. You can still find a strong airsoft pistol to use for the pistol games.
