How to Pick an Airsoft Pistol
Learn about airsoft handguns and pistols and how you can use them as backup guns or as primary weapons on the airsoft playing field. Getting the right pistol and practicing with it can make all the difference in nailing your shots. Handguns, by nature, are lower range airsoft weapons. They are quite often designed after real guns or copies of actual pistols. A large number of airsoft sidearms are completely certified adaptations of their authentic firearm equivalents. These airsoft guns can visually look and function (without shooting bullets) in the same ways identically to the real guns they are designed around while firing airsoft BBs rather than authentic bullets.
There are a few types of airsoft pistols such as CO2, green gas or propane (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these forms of handguns have negatives and positives connected with them. Finding out about the kinds of airsoft sidearms helps you make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
About CO2 Airsoft Pistols
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most popular and dependable types of handguns. These pistols use CO2 stored in small cylinders to force airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel.
These types of airsoft weapons are great for airsoft games in cold and snowy temperatures considering that the high pressure CO2 gas is less vulnerable to performance decreases caused by low temperatures. This fact offers very good FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter season for instance where other sorts of pistols like green gas stuffer from low performance or barely shoot airsoft BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft guns are powered by conventional 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges resemble a shiny steel cylinder and hold high pressure CO2 gas comprised of one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms, as a result the molecular formula comes out to be “C + O2 “. These atoms are connected in the following alignment “O= C =O”. The gas is kept in the 12 gram cylinders under really high pressure of about ~ 800psi that correlates to 55bar.
The CO2 cartridge cylinders cannot be refilled and you can usually buy them in bundles of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridge sets. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely and securely inside, once they are opened (firing them inside of an airsoft weapon breaks the seal) cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. You must try to deplete the whole CO2 cartridge the same day you open the seal. If the airsoft matches end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the opportunity to do some pistol accuracy and target practice and burn up the remainder of the surplus gas. There is no gas level indication on the cartridge so you have to shoot until the pistol stops firing.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a while if they are stored sealed. They have a maker’s expiry date normally marked on the package or cartridge cylinder, however, they may last for an extended period of time past this date if the cartridge seals are not damaged.
Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft pistols are similar to CO2 handguns, however they use propane gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The effect on the battleground and green gas weapon efficiency is almost the same as CO2 handguns with the guns around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is held in the pistol’s grip within the mag which can often hold in-between 15 to 20+ airsoft BBs based on the pistol style. A sequence of valves, rubber stoppers, and seals keep the green gas sealed in the mag prior to when the pistol’s trigger is squeezed. It is a good plan to fill up and top off the propane reserves in your pistol mag each time you load it into the pistol. Pistol-wielding airsoft players can also carry excess bottles of propane in the field for reloading mags between breaks in the war or in-between game play.
When playing with a green gas pistol on the airsoft field or arena as a secondary or main weapon, additional pistol mags are highly recommended for rapidly reloading and engaging opponents. Having extra mags on-hand allows you to get back in the action throughout firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room combat.
Green gas handguns are excellent for CQB at airsoft fields since rifles, long guns, and full-sized AEGs are usually not enabled to be used during indoor game play. This is a safety regulation because of the close quarters distance of players during shooting engagements. While green gas pistols still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the shorter handgun barrel aids to keep the joules and energy moving the BB at a decreased level compared to AEGs, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various kinds of green gas airsoft handguns. First, there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These pistols run like a realistic pistol with the gun’s slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. The propane causes the slide to cycle each time a brand-new airsoft BB is loaded into the chamber. This effect is extremely cool, but the GBB guns typically are more expensive and potentially have more parts that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft guns use a stationary slide which does not move. The non-blowback guns generally cost less than GBBs. Performance is about the same between the two kinds of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Issues
While green gas typically functions extremely well, it does have limits. For example, when green gas guns are played with during the winter season in the snow or in cold weather (like less than 32 degrees F). Because the green gas or propane gas is stored in the mag using silicone seals, o-rings, and gaskets, the cold can negatively affect the seals and trigger the gas to seep out before firing the pistol. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to only shoot several feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the gun would typically shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer weather).
One fix to this issue is to make the GBB pistol magazines warmer by putting them next to your body or by a heater prior to game play starts. If you truly want to play with a dependable airsoft pistol in the cold weather, it may also be worth getting a CO2 version of your preferred handgun.
Details About Spring Airsoft Sidearms
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by strong coil springs that launch the BBs out of the handgun barrel. The manual action of firing, reloading, and cocking spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols.
Spring sidearms work best in springer wars where game players can solely use related, single shot spring pistols or as a transitional weapon for CQB settings when you can frequently surprise other airsoft players to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter case, a rapid 2nd follow-up shot is not called for since the other person is already struck and out of the game or headed back to respawn. When engaging many different opponents because the spring gun just fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand, be careful.
About Spring Pistol Performance
Spring guns are remarkably effective under the ideal game circumstances. Spring guns can commonly shoot up to 120 feet or farther with 0.12 gram BBs however target accuracy reduces quickly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a good choice to bring into the field as a backup weapon on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the weapon’s grip. They work much like an AEG rifle and use forced air forced through electrically cycled gearboxes and cylinders to shoot airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol mags usually can carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs up to about 300 FPS using 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs.
AEG Pistol Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has increased significantly in recent years. The early gen guns were a bit sketchy and undependable, however the new models have most of the bugs worked out and make effective airsoft secondary weapons. They can be further upgraded with maximized mag capacities and by accommodating bigger batteries.
A significant advantage of carrying an AEG handgun is that you have the opportunity to rewire the battery wires to use an enhanced capacity battery with higher mAh. Depending on the AEG pistol design, you may be able to get a sizable leap in performance by utilizing a two cell Lipo battery (2S Lipo) instead of the stock mini battery. Take care of modifying the elements and wires since you need to take into account the volts, mAh, and loads of the battery. Ask an expert airsoft gun service technician at your closest airsoft store or shop if you have customization concerns.
What Airsoft Pistol is Best for Me?
If you have over one-hundred dollars to spend on your airsoft handgun, take a look at a GBB handgun or AEG handgun. If you have around $50 to $100 to buy a gun, review a CO2 pistol or cheaper GBB pistol. You can still play with a resilient airsoft handgun by checking out cheaper pistols and by shopping for used pistols if you are on a budget.
