How to Choose an Airsoft Handgun
Find info about airsoft sidearms 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 handgun can make a big difference in blasting your shots. Pistols, by nature, are shorter range airsoft weapons. They are often fashioned after authentic handguns or copies of authentic pistols. A lot of airsoft pistols are fully licensed releases of their real pistol counterparts. These airsoft guns can look and feel and function (sans shooting bullets) in the same ways identically to the real guns they are modeled around while firing airsoft BBs in place of genuine bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols such as CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun handguns. Each of these styles of sidearms have positives and negatives associated with them. Learning more about the kinds of airsoft sidearms allows you to figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most common and tough types of pistols. These handguns use sealed CO2 gas cylinders to push airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel.
These types of airsoft guns are good choices for playing in colder temperatures because the high pressure CO2 gas is less susceptible to FPS decreases caused by temperature levels. This provides exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold weather for instance where other types of airsoft guns like green gas stuffer from low performance or hardly fire BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by typical 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges look like a chrome cylinder and contain high pressured CO2 gas composed of a single carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms hence the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely inside, however when they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft weapon breaks the 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 handgun target practice and use up the rest of the excess gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while. They come with the maker’s best used by date usually listed on the box or cartridge, but they will probably last for an extended period past this date if the cartridge seals are not tampered with.
Information About Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 handguns, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. The result on the battleground and green gas weapon performance is practically the exact same as CO2 pistols with the weapons at around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is kept in the pistol’s magazine which can frequently hold between 15 to 20+ 6mm airsoft BBs depending upon the handgun style. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and o-rings keep the propane gas stored in the mag prior to when the pistol’s trigger is squeezed. It is a great idea to refill and top off the propane supply in the mag each time you load it into the pistol. Pistol-wielding players can additionally carry additional bottles of green gas or propane in the field for reloading mags in-between breaks in the battle or between games.
When carrying a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a primary or secondary gun, bringing additional handgun magazines is advised for rapidly reloading and getting back into the game. Having additional mags helps you re engage in the action throughout firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas pistols are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles and full-sized AEGs are generally not permitted to be used for indoor gameplay. This is an essential safety regulation because of the close quarters distance of gamers during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas pistols still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel assists to keep the joules and energy shooting the BB at a lower level compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various kinds of green gas airsoft handguns. To begin with there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These guns operate like a genuine pistol with the slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. The propane gas induces the slide to cycle every time when a fresh airsoft BB is chambered. This cycling is very cool, but the GBB weapons frequently are more expensive and possibly have more parts that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a fixed slide which does not cycle. The non-blowback weapons generally cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is around the same when comparing the two kinds of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
While green gas generally can be used extremely well, it does have restrictions. For example, when green gas guns are played with throughout the winter in the snow or in colder temperatures (like lower 32 deg F). Because the green gas or propane gas is held in the magazine by silicone seals and gaskets, cold weather can affect the seals and cause the stored gas to seep out before firing the handgun. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when it would usually shoot BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temps).
One strategy to this problem is to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by placing them next to your body or by a heater prior to game play starts. If you absolutely want to play with a reputable airsoft pistol in the cold, it might also be worth getting a CO2 version of your preferred handgun.
Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft guns are powered by powerful springs that launch the BBs out of the gun’s barrel. The manual actions of reloading, cocking, and firing spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB pistols.
Spring sidearms perform most effectively in springer wars where participants can just use comparable, single shot spring pistols or as a transition weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can usually sneak up to other airsoft opponents to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a fast 2nd followup shot is not really needed since the other person is already struck and out of the game or running back to respawn. When engaging numerous foes since the weapon just shoots as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Handgun Efficiency
Spring handguns are really reliable under the right conditions. Their FPS normally chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These weapons typically fire lighter weight airsoft BBs because the springs are less effective than other styles of airsoft guns. Spring handguns can generally shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs but precision diminishes quickly. Shooting basic 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a range of about 60 to 80 feet or less with enhanced precision.
About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also 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 operate similar to an AEG gun and use forced air with electrically cycled pistons, cylinders, and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very quickly at that.
AEG handgun mags typically hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually grown significantly recently. The first generation guns were a little bit undependable and questionable, but the newer versions have the deficiencies worked out and make reliable airsoft secondary weapons. They can be modded with increased mag storage capacities along with accommodating larger batteries.
A substantial benefit of using an AEG handgun is that you have the capacity to rewire the battery wires to use an enhanced capacity battery with longer life. Depending on the AEG handgun model, you can gain a large output in efficiency using a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) rather than the standard AEP battery. Beware of adjusting the components and the gun’s wires since you must take into consideration the voltages, mAh, and electrical loads of the batteries. Ask an experienced airsoft gun technician at your nearest airsoft shop or store if you have modding inquiries.
What Airsoft Handgun is Right for Me?
Picking out the best airsoft sidearm for you depends on how much you want to spend, how much you desire to play airsoft using it, and where you decide to play. Take a look at a GBB green gas handgun or automatic electric AEP pistol if you have $100 or more to spend on your airsoft pistol. These kinds of handguns are usually the top of the line, have the greatest efficiency, and are usually a really good investment. If you have between more than fifty but less than one-hundred dollars to devote to your airsoft gun purchase, check out a CO2 pistol or more affordable green gas blowback pistol. These guns will still work well and will be pretty long lasting sidearms. If you have less than fifty dollars, consider a cheaper CO2 or springer pistol. You can still get a long-lasting airsoft pistol to use for the handgun airsoft guns.
