How to Choose an Airsoft Handgun
Learn about airsoft sidearms, pistols, and handguns and how you can use them as extra guns or as core weapons on the airsoft playing field. A lot of airsoft handguns are completely accredited variations of their actual pistol counterparts and function and appear in the same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of genuine bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns consisting of CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these forms of pistols have negatives and positives related to them. Learning more about the kinds of airsoft handguns allows you to figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
CO2 Airsoft Pistol Details
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most dependable and typical varieties of pistols. They are all-season, all-weather guns and operate well in a lot of types of weather conditions and environments. These handguns use pressurized CO2 gas to launch airsoft BBs down the handgun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within the cylinder and is generally located in the gun’s magazine.
These kinds of airsoft guns are great choices for playing in cold and snowy temperatures because the high pressure CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less susceptible to variation with temperature levels. This offers good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for example where other varieties of airsoft handguns like green gas stop working or hardly fire BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges resemble a metallic cylinder and hold high pressured CO2 gas consisting of one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The CO2 cylinders are not multiple-use and you can normally order them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to preserve the CO2 gas securely inside, but once they are punctured (shooting them in an airsoft weapon breaks the seal) the cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. You ought to try to burn up the whole CO2 cartridge the very same day you open the seal. Use the chance to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the excess gas if the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level indication on the cartridge so you have to shoot up until the handgun stops shooting.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime if they are stored sealed. They do have a manufacturer’s best used by date usually printed on the box or cartridge cylinder, but they will likely survive for a prolonged time past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Green Gas Airsoft Sidearm Information
Green gas airsoft handguns are comparable to CO2 handguns, however they use green gas or propane instead of CO2 cartridges. The operational impact on the airsoft battlefield and green gas weapon performance is practically the same as CO2 handguns with the guns at around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is held in the handgun’s grip within the magazine and can frequently hold in-between 15 to 20+ 6mm airsoft BBs based on the pistol design. A bunch of valves, rubberized gaskets, and o-rings keep the gas stored in the pistol magazine up until the pistol’s trigger is pulled. It is a good choice to refill and top off the green gas supply in your pistol mag each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding players can even take excess bottles of green gas or propane in the field for reloading mags in-between lulls in the fight or between gameplay.
When bringing a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a primary or secondary weapon, bringing extra handgun mags is highly recommended for quickly reloading. Having additional mags on-hand helps you re engage in the action during firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas pistols are excellent for CQB at airsoft fields given that rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are typically not permitted to be used during indoor gameplay. This is an essential safety guideline due to the close range distance of gamers during shooting engagements and the potential for players to be hurt. While green gas pistols still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy pushing the BB lower compared to AEGs, 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. First, there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These guns run like a realistic handgun with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. Every time a new airsoft BB is chambered, the gas induces the slide to cycle. The result is very cool, but the pistols often cost more 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 guns generally cost less than GBBs. Performance is around the same when comparing the two types of green gas handguns.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas usually works extremely well on the airsoft field, it does have issues. For example, when green gas guns are played with in the winter airsoft games in the snow or in cold weather (like less than 32 deg F). Considering that the green gas or propane is kept in the weapon’s magazine using silicone seals, o-rings, and gaskets, low temperatures can affect these seals and cause the stored gas to escape before firing the pistol. The decrease in pressure can make the airsoft BBs to only shoot several feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when it would ordinarily shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temps).
One solution to this issue is to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by holding them next to your body prior to the airsoft game play starts. If you really need to play with a dependable airsoft handgun in the cold weather, it may additionally be worth getting a CO2 version of your preferred pistol.
Spring Airsoft Handgun Information
Spring airsoft guns are powered by powerful springs that shoot the BBs out of the pistol’s barrel. The manual functioning of firing, cocking, and reloading spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB guns.
Spring sidearms and guns work most effectively in springer battles where game players can exclusively use comparable, single shot spring pistols or as an alternative backup weapon for CQB buildings when you can often sneak up to other airsoft opponents to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a rapid second followup shot will not be needed since the other opponent is already hit and out of the game or headed back to respawn. When engaging several foes given that the spring airsoft gun simply fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be careful.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring pistols are remarkably effective under the best situations. Their FPS often chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These guns normally fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs because the coiled springs are less powerful than other styles of airsoft guns like SMGs. Spring guns can typically engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however the ability to hit targets is reduced quickly. Choosing conventional 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a reduced shooting distance of about 60 to 80 feet with increased precision.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Handgun Info
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to bring as a backup gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s grip. They work much like an AEG gun and use pressurized air with electrically cycled pistons and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG handgun magazines usually can carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs right up to about 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or about 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electrically powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute assuming you have enough magazines to reload (after every 20 to 30 shots) and the battery holds out that long. These pistols can efficiently shoot 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 earliest gen AEP guns were a little bit sketchy and undependable, however the more recent designs have the deficiencies worked out and make efficient airsoft secondary weapons. They can be modified with enhanced magazine capacities together with accommodating bigger batteries.
A huge perk of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the capability to rewire the adapters to use a more substantial battery. Depending upon the AEG pistol type, you may be able to gain a large boost in functionality using a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) instead of the standard battery. Take care of modifying the components and wires since you need to take into consideration the volts, mAh, and loads of the batteries. Ask an expert weapon service technician at your local airsoft store if you have customization concerns.
What Airsoft Sidearm is Right for Me to Play with?
Picking the ideal airsoft pistol for you depends on how much you can afford, how often you desire to play airsoft using it, and where you plan to play. Look into a GBB handgun or automatic electric AEP pistol if you have more than $100 to invest on your airsoft pistol. These are typically the best of the best, have good performance, and are usually a pretty good investment. If you can afford between more than $50 but less than $100 to spend on upgrading your airsoft arsenal, take a look at a CO2 pistol or a second-tier green gas pistol. Mid-tier guns like these will still function well and will be pretty durable sidearms. Look for a cheaper CO2 or spring handgun if you have fifty dollars or less. You can still find a strong airsoft handgun to use for the pistol airsoft guns.
