How to Pick an Airsoft Handgun
Find out about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as backup weapons or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the best handgun and practicing with it can make a big difference in blasting your shots. Handguns, naturally, are shorter range airsoft weapons. They are commonly constructed after actual sidearms or reproductions of legitimate handguns. Many different airsoft handguns are completely certified models of their genuine firearm equivalents. These airsoft guns can function (short of shooting bullets) in the same ways and visually appear identical to the real guns they are designed around while shooting airsoft BBs in place of real world bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns including CO2, propane or green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric gun sidearms. Each of these kinds of sidearms has negatives and positives connected with them. Finding out about the types of airsoft sidearms helps you decide which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft pistols are one of the most popular and long lasting styles of pistols. They are all-season guns working well in lots of kinds of weather conditions and climates. These sidearms use high pressure CO2 gas to send airsoft BBs down the pistol barrel. The CO2 cartridge is typically stored in the pistol’s handle.
These kinds of airsoft pistols are exceptional for airsoft games in cold and snowy weather conditions considering that the pressurized CO2 gas is less sensitive to FPS decreases with temperature. This provides excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for example where other styles of handguns like green gas cease to function or barely fire BBs.
About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft sidearms are powered by standard 12 gram CO2 cartridges. These cartridges look similar to a metal cylinder and store high pressured CO2 gas comprised of a single carbon atom and two oxygen atoms hence the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
The CO2 gas cylinders are not multiple-use and you can typically buy them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to preserve the CO2 gas safely and securely within, once they are punctured (shooting them in an airsoft pistol breaks the seal) cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are not used up. You should attempt to deplete the entire CO2 cartridge the same day you open the seal. Use the chance to do some handgun target practice and use up the rest of the additional gas if the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level indicator on the cartridge so you need to shoot up until the gun stops cycling.
If they are kept sealed, CO2 cartridges have a long storage life. They are made with a maker’s best used by date normally listed on the package or cartridge, however they will maintain pressure for a prolonged time past this date if the cartridge seal is not broken.
Green Gas Airsoft Handgun Facts
Green gas airsoft sidearms are similar to CO2 pistols, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Instead, they use green gas or propane for propellant to fire the airsoft BBs. The operational impact on game play and green gas weapon operation is essentially the same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to about 300+ feet per second. Shots are efficiently fired in semi-automatic or fully-automatic firing modes and can accurately hit targets at shorter to mid-range ranges.
The green gas is housed in the pistol’s mag which can often hold between 15 to 20+ 6mm BBs depending upon the handgun style. A series of valves, silicone stoppers, and o-rings keep the gas housed in the mag up until the pistol’s trigger is squeezed. It is a good habit to refill and top off the green gas supply in your mag each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding airsoft players can even take supplemental bottles of propane gas in the field for reloading between breaks in the fight or in-between games.
When carrying a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a secondary or primary weapon, extra mags are encouraged for quickly reloading and getting back into the game. Having additional magazines allows you to get back in the action in the course of firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are great for CQB at airsoft fields because rifles and full-sized AEGs are typically not allowed to be used for indoor shooting. This is a safety guideline because of the close quarters proximity of gamers during the 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 launching the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two various forms of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs. These guns function like an actual handgun with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” with every shot. Each time a brand-new airsoft BB is chambered, the gas causes the slide to cycle. This cycling is really cool, but the GBB guns frequently cost more and possibly have more to break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns have a fixed slide which does not move. The non-blowback pistols usually cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same when comparing the two styles of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas typically performs effectively, it does have constraints. For example, when green gas guns are used during the winter season in the snow or in colder temperatures (like lower 32 deg F). Given that the green gas or propane is held in the pistol mag by rubber seals and gaskets, the cold can impact the seals and allow the gas to escape prior to firing the pistol. The decrease in pressure can make the airsoft BBs to just shoot a couple of feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when it would usually shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer weather conditions).
One strategy to this issue is to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by holding them next to your body or near a heat source prior to game play starts. If you absolutely want to play with a reliable airsoft handgun in the cold weather, it might additionally be worth getting a CO2 version of your preferred handgun.
Spring Airsoft Sidearm Facts
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by powerful coil springs that fire the BBs out of the gun barrel. The manual functioning of cocking, shooting, and reloading spring handguns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB airsoft guns.
Spring sidearms and guns work best in springer battles where airsoft players can just use comparable, single shot spring pistols or as a transitional backup gun for CQB buildings when you can often sneak up to other airsoft game players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter situation, a rapid 2nd follow-up shot isn’t called for due to the fact that the other player is now hit and out of the game play or going back to respawn. Take care when engaging numerous foes considering that the spring airsoft gun only fires as fast as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring pistols are extremely effective under the proper conditions during airsoft games. Their FPS commonly chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with 0.12 gram airsoft BBs. These pistols usually fire the lighter weight airsoft BBs because the pitched springs are less powerful than other types of airsoft guns like rifles. Spring guns can usually be accurate at up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but the ability to hit targets accurately diminishes rapidly. Choosing regular 0.20g weight airsoft BBs, you will very likely have a decreased shooting distance of about 60 to 80 feet with heightened precision.
About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to use as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are normally powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s handle. They work just like an AEG rifle and use compressed air pumped through electrically cycled gearboxes, pistons, and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs out of the barrel and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol mags generally can carry about 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire 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 actually risen significantly recently. The initial generations were a little bit undependable and sketchy, but the new versions have the problems resolved and make effective airsoft secondary weapons. They can be upgraded with increased magazine capacities together with accommodating more powerful batteries.
A substantial benefit of using an AEG handgun is that you have the capacity to rewire the wires to use a bigger battery. Based on the AEG handgun type, you may be able to get a large leap in performance utilizing a 2 cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) as opposed to the stock battery. Take care of tweaking the components and wires because you have to take into account the volts, mAh, and loads of the batteries. If you have modding questions, ask an experienced airsoft specialist at your nearest airsoft store.
What Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me to Buy?
Choosing the right airsoft sidearm for you depends on how much you want to spend, how often you intend to play airsoft using it, and where you plan to play. Take a look at a green gas blowback pistol or AEP pistol if you have over one-hundred dollars to invest on your airsoft handgun. These guns are normally the top-tier guns, have great build qualities, and are usually a pretty good gun to get. Look into a CO2 handgun or cheaper GBB handgun if you have in-between fifty to one-hundred dollars to invest. Middle of the road guns like these will still get the job done and will be resilient sidearms. Look for a lower end CO2 or spring pistol if you have $50 or less. You can still get a durable airsoft handgun to use for the handgun airsoft guns.
