How to Choose an Airsoft Pistol
Learn about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as secondary weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Lots of airsoft pistols are completely accredited releases of their genuine pistol counterparts and run and appear in the very same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than genuine bullets.
There are a few kinds of airsoft pistols including CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun pistols. Each of these varieties of pistols have benefits and differences connected with them. Learning about the kinds of airsoft handguns allows you to figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most common and heavy duty types of handguns. These handguns use high pressure CO2 gas to send airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel.
These forms of airsoft guns are exceptional for playing in cooler weather since the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less vulnerable to FPS decreases by low temperatures. This offers exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the wintertime for example where other sorts of guns like green gas stop performing or hardly shoot airsoft BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges resemble a shiny metallic cylinder and hold high-pressure CO2 gas composed of just one carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The cartridges come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, but as soon as they are opened (firing them in an airsoft handgun breaks the cartridge 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 pistol target practice and use up the rest of the excess gas.
CO2 cartridges have a long storage life if the cylinders are kept sealed. They come with the maker’s best used by date usually marked on the box or cylinder, however, they will probably stay pressurized for an extended period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Sidearm Info
Green gas airsoft pistols are comparable to CO2 pistols, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. The result on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon performance is virtually the same as CO2 handguns with the weapons at around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is housed in the handgun’s mag and can typically hold between 15 to 20+ 6mm BBs depending upon the handgun style. A sequence of valves, rubber gaskets, and seals keep the propane housed in the pistol mag up until the pistol’s trigger is squeezed. It is a good idea to top off and refill the propane supply in your mag each time you load it into the pistol. Pistol-wielding players can also bring excess bottles of green gas in the field for refilling mags between breaks in the war or in-between missions.
When bringing a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a secondary or main gun, extra handgun magazines are strongly recommended for rapidly reloading and getting back into the game. Having additional mags on-hand allows you to re engage in the action during firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas handguns are perfect for CQB at airsoft fields considering rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are usually not authorized to be used during indoor game play. This is an essential safety guideline due to the close quarters proximity of airsoft players during shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas handguns still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy launching 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 two various varieties of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These guns run like a realistic pistol with the pistol slide “blowing back” with every shot. Each time a new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber, the gas triggers the slide to cycle. The result is very cool, but the GBB handguns frequently are more expensive and potentially have more parts that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns have a stationary slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback handguns normally cost less than GBBs. Performance is around the same between the two styles of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas generally works extremely well on the airsoft field, it does have drawbacks. For example, when they are used in the winter airsoft games in the snow or in very cold temperatures (like under 32 deg F). Since the green gas or propane gas is kept in the mag by rubber seals and gaskets, low temperatures can impact these seals and trigger the gas to escape before firing the pistol. This can make the airsoft BBs to only shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when it would usually shoot BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather).
One option to this problem is to keep the GBB handgun mags warmer by positioning them next to your body or by a heater before game play starts. If you truly want to play with a dependable airsoft handgun in the cold, it might also be worth getting a CO2 version of your preferred pistol.
Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong springs that launch the airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel. They are typically able to only shoot one BB. The manual action of firing, reloading, and cocking spring handguns makes the weapon’s fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols. When dueling competitors on the airsoft field with enhanced guns like automatic airsoft AEG SMGs, rifles, and CO2 or GBB airsoft handguns, this makes them entertaining to use, however less effective.
Spring airsoft guns perform the best in springer battles where participants can solely use related, single shot spring pistols or as a transition weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can frequently quietly sneak up on other airsoft players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a fast second follow-up shot isn’t called for due to the fact that the other opponent is already hit by the first BB and out of the game or going back to respawn. Beware when attacking many different foes given that the spring weapon just fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring guns are very reliable under the appropriate circumstances and airsoft games. Their FPS often chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs. These handguns normally fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs because the coiled springs are less powerful than other types of airsoft guns. Spring guns can generally shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but the ability to hit targets diminishes rapidly. Using conventional 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a decreased range of around 60 to 80 feet or less with improved precision.
Details About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also an option to bring into the field as a secondary weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s handle. They function similar to an AEG SMG and use compressed air pumped through electrically cycled pistons, cylinders, and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very rapidly at that.
AEG handgun mags typically carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can fire airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has increased substantially in the last few years. The first generation AEP guns were a bit unreliable and questionable, however the more recent designs have the issues worked out and make effective airsoft secondary weapons. They can be further upgraded with maximized mag capacities along with accommodating larger batteries.
A large perk of using an AEG handgun is that you have the capacity to rewire the wires to use a more robust battery with higher mAh. Based on the AEG handgun design, you are able to get a sizable leap in functionality using a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as an alternative to the standard mini battery. Beware of changing the components and the gun’s wires since you need to take into consideration the voltages, mAh, and loads of the batteries. If you have modding concerns, ask a professional weapon specialist at your closest airsoft shop or store.
Which Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me?
If you have more than one-hundred dollars to use to buy your airsoft handgun, check out a green gas blowback pistol or automatic electric pistol. If you have around fifty to one-hundred dollars to shell out, evaluate a good quality CO2 pistol or more affordable GBB pistol. You can still look for a resilient airsoft pistol by checking out cheaper pistols and by trading with players selling used airsoft pistols if you are on a budget.
