How to Pick an Airsoft Pistol
Learn about airsoft handguns and sidearms and how you can use them as backup guns or as core weapons on the airsoft playing field. A large number of airsoft pistols are completely manufacturer licensed replications of their real weapon counterparts and operate and look in the same ways while shooting airsoft BBs rather than real bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols such as CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these types of sidearms has benefits and differences connected with them. Learning about the kinds of airsoft sidearms lets you choose which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Handgun Details
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most sturdy and standard types of handguns. They are all season, all weather pistols and function well in many kinds of weather, varying temperatures, and environments. These sidearms use pressurized CO2 gas to launch airsoft BBs down the weapon barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas and is usually kept in the gun’s mag inside the handle.
These types of airsoft weapons are great choices for airsoft games in colder weather conditions given that the compressed CO2 gas is less sensitive to FPS decreases by low temperatures. This offers exceptional FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for example where other types of airsoft pistols like green gas stop functioning or barely shoot airsoft BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges resemble a shiny metallic cylinder and contain high-pressure CO2 gas consisting of 1 carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula is “C + O2”.
The CO2 cylinders cannot be used multiple times and you can typically purchase them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to retain the CO2 gas safely inside, but the moment they are punctured (shooting them in an airsoft gun breaks the cartridge seal) they will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. You should attempt to deplete the whole CO2 cartridge the very same day you open the seal. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the chance to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas. There is no gas level sign on the cartridge so you have to shoot until the gun stops cycling.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while if the cylinders are stored sealed. They do have the maker’s best used by date usually marked on the box or cartridge, however, they will probably maintain pressure for a prolonged period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Green Gas Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft pistols resemble CO2 pistols, however they do not use CO2 cartridges. Alternatively, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to propel 6mm airsoft pellets. The outcome on gameplay and green gas pistol performance is virtually the same as CO2 pistols with the weapons shooting up to about 300+ FPS. Shots are rapidly fired in fully-automatic or semi-automatic firing modes and precisely hit targets at very short to mid-range ranges.
The green gas is held in the pistol’s magazine that can usually hold around 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the handgun model. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and o-rings keep the gas stored in the magazine till the pistol’s trigger is pulled.
When carrying a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a primary or secondary weapon, extra pistol mags are highly recommended for rapidly reloading and getting back into the game. Having additional mags on-hand helps you get back in the action throughout firefights or while sweeping buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas handguns are excellent for CQB at airsoft fields considering long guns 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 injured. While green gas pistols still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy sending the BB at a lower level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different styles of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
While green gas normally works effectively, it does have issues. When green gas and GBB guns are used throughout the winter airsoft games in the snow or in cold temps (such as under 32 degrees F). Because the green gas or propane is kept in the weapon’s magazine by rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold temperatures can impair the seals and cause the stored gas to leak out prior to firing the handgun. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to just shoot several feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when it would normally shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer weather conditions).
One option to fix this problem is to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by putting them next to a heat source or by your body just before the game play. This can help to warm up the seals and valves and better seal in the green gas. It may also be worth buying a CO2 variation of your preferred handgun if you really need to play airsoft with a trustworthy airsoft handgun in the cold. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and these guns shoot better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong coil springs that launch the BBs out of the pistol’s barrel. The manual functions of reloading, shooting, and cocking spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns.
Spring pistols perform best in springer battles where opponents can exclusively use related, single shot spring handguns or as a transitional backup gun for CQB settings when you can usually quietly sneak up on other airsoft opponents to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a fast second follow-up shot is not called for given that the other opponent is now hit by the airsoft BB and out of the gameplay or running back to respawn. Take care when fighting many different foes considering the weapon just shoots as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring handguns are incredibly effective under the appropriate game circumstances. Spring guns can commonly fire up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however the ability to engage targets decreases rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handguns
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a good choice to use as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s handle. They work similar to an AEG gun and use pressured air with electrically cycled pistons and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol magazines typically hold around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs as high as around 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or about 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electrically powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which depends if you have enough magazines to reload the gun and the battery lasts that long. These AEP handguns can precisely fire airsoft BBs at about 150 foot distances.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has actually risen significantly in the last few years. The initial generations were a bit undependable and questionable, however the more recent designs have most of the issues resolved and make efficient airsoft backup weapons. They can be improved with enhanced magazine storage capacities in addition to accommodating bigger batteries.
A substantial perk of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the capability to rewire the adapters to use an enhanced capacity battery with longer life. Depending on the AEG pistol model, you are able to gain a big boost in performance and fire rate using a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock battery. Beware of modifying the components and the gun’s wires because you must take into consideration the volts, mAh, and electrical loads of the battery. Ask a professional airsoft gun specialist at your local airsoft shop or store if you have modding questions.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Best for Me to Buy?
If you have over one-hundred dollars to use to buy your airsoft handgun, take a look at a green gas blowback pistol or automatic electric pistol. If you have between $50 to $100 to buy a gun, check out a CO2 handgun or cheaper GBB pistol. If you are on a budget, you can still choose a durable airsoft pistol to use for the pistol games.
