How to Choose an Airsoft Pistol
Learn about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as backup weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your shot accuracy and getting the ideal pistol can make all the difference in nailing your shots. Handguns, naturally, are much shorter range airsoft guns. They are generally created after real world sidearms or models of authentic handguns. Quite a few airsoft sidearms are completely certified models of their genuine weapon equivalents. These airsoft guns can look and feel and run in the same ways identical to the real guns they are designed after while blasting airsoft BBs instead of real-world bullets.
There are a number of kinds of airsoft pistols such as CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these forms of handguns have negatives and positives connected with them. Learning about the types of airsoft sidearms helps you choose which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Handgun Details
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most long-lasting and typical types of pistols. These pistols use pressurized CO2 gas to force airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel.
These forms of airsoft handguns are good for playing airsoft in cold weather conditions given that the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less susceptible to performance decreases with temperature levels. This fact gives CO2 airsoft pistols good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for instance where other sorts of airsoft guns like green gas stop functioning or hardly fire pellets.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by common 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look like a metallic cylinder and contain high-pressure CO2 gas made up of one carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms for this reason the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely within, however when they are opened (firing 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 chance to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while if they are stored sealed. They come with the supplier’s expiration date usually marked on the box or cartridge, however, they can survive for a prolonged period past this date if the cartridge seals are not broken.
Green Gas Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft handguns are similar to CO2 pistols, but they use green gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The effect on the battleground and green gas weapon performance is almost the exact same as CO2 pistols with the weapons at about 300+ FPS.
The green gas is held in the pistol’s mag and can often hold roughly 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the handgun design. A series of valves, rubber stoppers, and o-rings keep the propane gas sealed in the pistol magazine prior to when the handgun’s trigger is pulled. It is a good habit to fill up and top off the propane supply in your pistol mag each time you load it into the gun. Pistol-wielding gamers can additionally carry additional bottles of propane in the field for reloading mags between lulls in the battle or in-between games.
When using a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a backup or primary weapon, bringing additional mags is strongly recommended for rapidly reloading. Having additional mags allows you to re engage in the action in the course of firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are great for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are normally not permitted to be used for indoor game play. This is an essential safety guideline due to the close range distance of gamers during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas handguns still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel assists to keep the joules and energy launching 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 two different varieties of green gas airsoft handguns. To start with there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These guns function like a realistic handgun with the pistol slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. When a brand-new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber, the gas induces the slide to cycle. This functioning while shooting is really cool, however the weapons often are more expensive and likely have more parts that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback weapons generally cost less than GBBs. Performance is about the same between the two varieties of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
While green gas normally works effectively, it does have limits. This includes when green gas guns are used during the winter airsoft season in the snow or in colder temperatures (like lower 32 deg F). Since the green gas or propane gas is stored in the pistol mag using rubber seals and gaskets, the cold can impact these seals and trigger the gas to seep out prior to shooting airsoft BBs. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to only shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the gun would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather conditions).
One strategy to this problem is to keep the GBB pistol magazines warmer by holding them next to your body, beside a heater, or inside your jacket just before the airsoft game play starts. If you really want to play with a reputable airsoft pistol in the cold, it might additionally be worth getting a CO2 variation of your preferred handgun.
Details About Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft sidearms are powered by powerful springs with irregular pitches that fire the BBs down the pistol barrel. They are generally able to only shoot one BB. The manual actions of shooting, reloading, and cocking spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols. This makes spring airsoft pistols enjoyable to use, yet they can be less useful when encountering rivals on the airsoft field with advanced guns like auto airsoft AEG assault rifles and CO2 or GBB airsoft pistols.
Spring sidearms and guns perform best in springer battles where opponents can exclusively use related, single shot spring weapons or as a transition backup weapon for CQB settings when you can usually sneak up to other airsoft opponents to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a quick second followup shot isn’t really needed considering that the other opponent is already struck and out of the game or going back to respawn. When engaging several players considering that the spring gun simply fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be careful.
About Spring Handgun Effectiveness
Spring guns are extremely efficient under the right scenarios and airsoft games. Their FPS usually chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These weapons usually fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs because the coiled springs are less effective than other styles of airsoft guns like SMGs. Spring pistols can generally engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but the ability to hit targets accurately decreases quickly. Using regular 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a decreased shooting distance of around 60 to 80 feet with increased accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handgun Facts
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to use as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are often powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s grip. They work much like an AEG rifle and use compressed air with electrically cycled gearboxes, pistons, and cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG handgun magazines usually can carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can shoot airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually grown substantially over the last few years. The early generation AEP guns were a little bit sketchy and undependable, however the more recent models have the problems worked out and make efficient airsoft secondary guns. They can be further modified with enhanced magazine storage capacities in addition to accommodating more powerful batteries.
A huge benefit of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the capacity to rewire the battery wires to use an enhanced battery with higher mAh. Depending upon the AEG handgun style, you can gain a large leap in performance by using a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as opposed to the standard AEP battery. Take extra precautions when customizing the elements and wires because you should take into consideration the volts, mAh, and electrical loads of the battery. If you have customization questions, ask an experienced airsoft gun tech at your local airsoft store.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me to Play with?
Finding the right airsoft sidearm for you depends on your budget, how much you desire to play airsoft using it, and where you plan to play. If you can afford at least $100 to invest in your airsoft pistol, consider a green gas handgun or AEG handgun. These guns are usually the top of the line, have the best build qualities, and can be a pretty good handgun to purchase. If you have around fifty to one-hundred dollars to spend on upgrading your airsoft arsenal, look at a CO2 pistol or a 2nd-tier GBB handgun. Mid-tier guns like these will still finish the job and can be sturdy sidearms. If you have less than $50, choose a low end CO2 or spring pistol. You can still get a durable airsoft handgun to use for the pistol airsoft guns.
