How to Choose an Airsoft Pistol
Find information about airsoft handguns and sidearms and how you can use them as secondary guns or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. A large number of airsoft pistols are completely manufactured and licensed replications of their actual handgun equivalents and run and appear in the same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of real bullets.
There are a few varieties of airsoft handguns consisting of CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these kinds of pistols come with positives and negatives connected with them. Learning about the styles of airsoft pistols allows you to make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
About CO2 Airsoft Sidearms
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most typical and long lasting styles of pistols. They are all season handguns and work well in many kinds of temperatures, weather and climates. These pistols use pressurized CO2 gas to shoot airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas within a cylinder and is normally stored in the gun’s handle.
These types of airsoft weapons are excellent for playing airsoft in colder weather since the pressurized CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less prone to variation caused by low temperature. This offers very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter for instance where other sorts of airsoft sidearms like green gas stop functioning or barely shoot BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by basic 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look like a metallic cylinder and hold high pressure CO2 gas consisting of just one carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms, thus the molecular formula comes out to be “C + O2 “. These atoms are attached in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is held in the 12 gram cartridges under really high pressure of roughly ~ 800psi that correlates to 55bar.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely inside, however when they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft weapon 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 remaining gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime. They do have a supplier’s expiry date typically marked on the box or cartridge, however, they can stay pressurized for an extended period past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Sidearms
Green gas airsoft pistols are similar to CO2 pistols, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Instead, they use green gas or propane for propellant to shoot the airsoft pellets. The impact on gameplay and green gas handgun efficiency is virtually the same as CO2 handguns with the weapons shooting up to about 300+ feet per second. Shots are rapidly fired in semi-automatic or automatic shooting modes and can hit targets at very short to mid-range proximities.
The green gas is housed in the pistol’s grip within the magazine and can often hold around 15 to 20+ 6mm BBs depending upon the handgun design. A bunch of valves, rubberized gaskets, and o-rings keep the green gas pressurized in the magazine till the handgun’s trigger is pulled. It is a good plan to top off and fill up your propane supply in your pistol mag each time you load it into the handgun. Pistol-wielding players can also carry extra bottles of green gas or propane in the field for refilling mags in-between lulls in the battle or between games.
When playing with a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field or arena as a main or secondary weapon, additional mags are encouraged for rapidly reloading. Having additional magazines on-hand allows you to re-engage in the action in the middle of firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fights.
Green gas pistols are suitable for CQB at airsoft fields considering long guns and full-sized AEGs are normally not permitted to be used during indoor engagements. This is an essential safety regulation because of the close range distance of gamers during the shooting engagements. While green gas pistols can still fire airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel assists to keep the joules and energy launching the BB at a decreased level compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various types of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs and non-blowback pistols. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a stationary slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas typically functions very well, it does have limits. When they are used over the winter playing in the snow or in cold temps (like below 32 deg F). Because the green gas or propane gas is held in the weapon’s magazine by silicone seals, o-rings, and gaskets, the cold can impact the seals and trigger the gas to escape before firing the pistol. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to merely shoot a few feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the pistol would normally shoot BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer weather).
One fix for this challenge is to try to keep the GBB pistol magazines warmer by holding them next to a heater or by your body just before the airsoft game play. This can help to heat up the rubber gaskets and better seal in the green gas. If you really want to play with a trustworthy airsoft handgun in the cold, it might also be worth buying a CO2 version of your preferred handgun. The CO2 cartridges come sealed and perform far better in sub-freezing conditions and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by strong coil springs that send the BBs out of the pistol barrel. The manual functions of cocking, reloading, and shooting spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB airsoft guns.
Spring sidearms work most effectively in springer battles where airsoft players can just use related, single shot spring weapons or as a close quarters combat weapon for CQB environments when you can frequently sneak up to other airsoft game players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a rapid 2nd followup shot isn’t required because the other person is now struck and out of the gameplay or headed back to respawn. Beware when engaging multiple enemies because the weapon just shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring guns are incredibly useful under the best game conditions. Their FPS normally chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These pistols typically fire lighter weight airsoft BBs due to the fact that the springs are less powerful than other kinds of airsoft guns. Spring handguns can typically be accurate at up to 120 feet or more with 0.12 gram BBs however accuracy decreases rapidly. Shooting basic 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a shooting distance of around 60 to 80 feet or less with heightened accuracy.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearm Information
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to carry as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric pistols are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s butt. They work similar to an AEG gun and use pressurized air pumped through electrically cycled pistons and cylinders to fire airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG handgun mags usually can hold about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can launch airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has grown substantially recently. The early generation guns were a bit sketchy and unreliable, however the more recent designs have most of the deficiencies worked out and make reliable airsoft backup weapons. They can be further upgraded with increased mag storage capacities together with accommodating more powerful batteries.
A massive benefit of using an AEG pistol is that you have the ability to rewire the battery connectors to use a larger battery. Depending on the AEG pistol style, you can get a big increase in functionality by employing a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock mini battery.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me to Play with?
Looking for the most ideal airsoft pistol for you depends on your budget, how much you wish to play airsoft with it, and where you hope to play. If you have at least one-hundred dollars to invest in your airsoft handgun, look at a green gas blowback or GBB pistol or AEG handgun. These are typically the top of the line, have the most effective performance, and can be a really good gun to invest in. Take a look at a CO2 pistol or less expensive GBB handgun if you have between more than fifty but less than one-hundred dollars to put into an airsoft gun purchase. These will still finish the job and can be pretty resilient sidearms. Look for a cheaper CO2 or spring handgun if you have $50 or less. You can still find a dependable airsoft pistol to use for the handgun games.
