How to Choose an Airsoft Pistol
Learn about airsoft guns like pistols 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 pistol can make all the difference in the accuracy of your shots. Pistols, by nature, are shorter range airsoft guns. They are usually made after authentic handguns or reproductions of legitimate pistols. Numerous airsoft sidearms are fully certified versions of their actual weapon equivalents. These airsoft guns can look and function (without shooting bullets) in the same ways identically to the real guns they are modeled around while firing airsoft BBs in place of authentic bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols including CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric handguns. Each of these types of pistols have benefits and differences related to them. Learning more about the kinds of airsoft sidearms helps you decide which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft handguns are one of the most heavy-duty and standard types of handguns. These handguns use pressurized CO2 gas to move airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel.
These styles of airsoft weapons are good for playing in colder weather because the pressurized CO2 gas is less susceptible to performance variations caused by temperature levels. This fact provides great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter season for instance where other varieties of handguns like green gas stop functioning or hardly fire airsoft BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look like a shiny steel cylinder and contain high pressured CO2 gas made up of 1 carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms, hence the molecular formula comes out to be “C + O2 “. These atoms are bound in the following order “O= C =O”. The gas is held in the 12 gram cylinders under extremely high pressure of close to ~ 800psi that translates to 55bar.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, however when they are opened (shooting them in an airsoft gun breaks the cartridge seal) they will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. 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 excess gas.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They do have the manufacturer’s best used by date typically listed on the box or cylinder, but they can last for an extended time past this date if the cartridge seal is not tampered with.
Green Gas and Propane Airsoft Sidearm Information
Green gas airsoft pistols are comparable to CO2 handguns, however they use propane gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The result on the battleground and green gas weapon efficiency is almost the exact same as CO2 handguns with the guns at about 300+ FPS.
The green gas is stored in the handgun’s mag which can normally hold in-between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs depending on the handgun style. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and silicone seals keep the gas stored in the mag till the handgun’s trigger is pulled.
When running a green gas handgun on the airsoft field or arena as a main or secondary gun, extra mags are encouraged for quickly reloading. Having extra magazines on-hand helps you reengage in the action throughout firefights or while clearing buildings in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas handguns are ideal for CQB at airsoft fields because rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are typically not allowed to be used during indoor shooting. This is an essential safety rule because of the close range distance of airsoft players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas handguns can still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy forcing the BB lower compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 different forms of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These guns function like a genuine handgun with the gun’s slide “blowing back” and moving with every shot. The propane induces the slide to cycle each time a brand-new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. The result is very cool, however the guns frequently are more expensive and likely have more to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a stationary slide which does not move. The non-blowback handguns typically cost less than GBBs. Performance is around the same between the two styles of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane is kept in the pistol magazine by rubber seals, o-rings, and gaskets, cold weather can negatively influence these seals and allow the stored gas to leak out before shooting the handgun. The decrease in pressure can make the airsoft BBs to merely land a number of feet (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when it would usually shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ feet in warmer weather conditions).
One fix for this challenge is to try to keep the GBB handgun magazines warmer by putting them inside your jacket next to your body prior to airsoft game play. This can help to warm up the seals and valves and help to seal in the green gas. If you really want to use a reputable airsoft pistol in the cold, it may also be better to buy a CO2 version of your favorite pistol. The CO2 cylinders come sealed and these guns shoot much better in sub-freezing temps and while playing in the snow.
Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft guns are powered by powerful springs that propel the BBs out of the gun’s barrel. The manual actions of cocking, reloading, and shooting spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2, green gas, and GBB handguns.
Spring guns perform the best in springer battles where airsoft players can solely use related, single shot spring guns or as a transition backup weapon for CQB buildings and MOUT sites when you can often sneak up to other airsoft players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a rapid second followup shot will not be called for given that the other person is now hit by the airsoft BB and out of the game play or heading back to respawn. When engaging many different airsoft players since the springer just shoots as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be cautious.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring handguns are extremely effective under the appropriate game conditions. Spring handguns can normally shoot up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however the ability to engage targets reduces rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearm Information
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely an option to bring as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s grip. They operate similar to an AEG rifle and use pressured air forced through electrically cycled pistons, cylinders, and gearboxes to fire airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol mags generally carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The handguns can launch airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS using 0.12 gram airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG handgun quality has actually risen substantially in recent years. The early generation guns were a little bit questionable and unreliable, but the new versions have the deficiencies worked out and make reliable airsoft secondary weapons. They can be further modified with maximized magazine storage capacities as well as accommodating bigger batteries.
A substantial benefit of using an AEG pistol is that you have the opportunity to rewire the adapters to use a bigger battery with longer life. Based on the AEG handgun design, you can get a big output in functionality by using a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) in place of the stock battery. Be careful when tweaking the elements and the gun’s wires since you should consider the voltages, mAh, and loads of the batteries. Ask an expert weapon service technician at your nearest airsoft store or shop if you have customization problems.
What Airsoft Handgun is Best for Me to Buy?
If you have over $100 to spend on your airsoft pistol, evaluate a green gas blowback handgun or AEG handgun. If you have in-between $50 to $100 to invest, check out a CO2 handgun or cheaper GBB pistol. If you are on a budget, you can still find a durable airsoft handgun to use for the pistol games.
