How to Pick an Airsoft Handgun
Find information about airsoft pistols and sidearms and how you can use them as backup weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Numerous airsoft pistols are fully manufactured and licensed replications of their authentic gun counterparts and look and operate in the exact same ways while shooting airsoft BBs instead of real bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft handguns such as CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric sidearms. Each of these forms of handguns has negatives and positives connected with them. Learning more about the varieties of airsoft sidearms allows you to choose which type is right for you and your airsoft play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft sidearms are among the most heavy-duty and typical kinds of pistols. They are all-season guns and function well in lots of kinds of weather and environments. These handguns use pressurized CO2 gas to shoot airsoft BBs out of the pistol barrel. The CO2 cartridge stores the gas and is typically held in the gun’s magazine in the handle.
These types of airsoft handguns are great choices for airsoft games in cold weather given that the compressed CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less susceptible to FPS decreases by temperature. This fact gives CO2 airsoft sidearms excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the wintertime for instance where other sorts of pistols like green gas stop working or hardly shoot airsoft BBs.
Additional Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridges
CO2 airsoft pistols are powered by typical 12 gram CO2 cylinders. These cartridges resemble a shiny metallic cylinder and hold high pressure CO2 gas consisting of 1 carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas safely inside, however soon after they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft weapon breaks the 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 handgun 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 have the maker’s best used by date normally listed on the package or cartridge cylinder, however, they can last for a prolonged period of time past this date if the cartridge seal is not damaged.
Info About Green Gas Airsoft Pistols
Green gas airsoft pistols are comparable to CO2 pistols, but they use green gas instead of CO2 cartridges. The impact on the battlefield and green gas weapon performance is practically the same as CO2 handguns with the guns shooting up to 300+ FPS.
The propane is held in the pistol’s mag that can frequently hold between 15 to 20+ BBs based on the handgun style. A series of valves, rubber gaskets, and silicone seals keep the gas stored in the magazine until the handgun’s trigger is squeezed.
When using a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a secondary or primary gun, additional mags are suggested for rapidly reloading and engaging opponents. Having additional magazines on-hand allows you to reengage 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 long guns and full-sized AEGs are generally not permitted to be used during indoor game play. This is a safety guideline due to the close quarters distance of airsoft players during the shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas pistols still shoot airsoft BBs at around 300 FPS, the short handgun barrel helps to keep the joules and energy launching the BB at a decreased level compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and other long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are two different kinds of green gas airsoft pistols. First, there are green gas blowback handguns or GBBs. These handguns operate like a genuine pistol with the pistol’s slide “blowing back” and cycling with every shot. The propane causes the slide to cycle each time when a fresh airsoft BB is chambered. This functionality is extremely cool, but the handguns usually are more expensive and possibly have more parts that can break. The green gas non-blowback airsoft handguns use a fixed slide which does not move. The non-blowback handguns typically cost less than GBBs. Efficiency is about the same between the two kinds of green gas pistols.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
Because the green gas or propane is held in the pistol magazine by rubber seals and gaskets, cold weather can influence these seals and cause the stored gas to escape before shooting the pistol. The lack of pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to just land a few feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the handgun would normally shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ foot distances in warmer temperatures).
One option to this problem is to keep the GBB handgun mags warmer by holding them next to your body or by a heater before the airsoft game play. If you truly need to play with a reliable airsoft pistol in the cold, it may also be worth getting a CO2 style of your preferred pistol.
Spring Airsoft Handguns
Spring airsoft handguns are powered by powerful springs that launch the BBs out of the pistol’s barrel. The manual action of firing, cocking, and reloading spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB guns.
Spring pistols work best in springer wars where opponents can just use similar, single shot spring pistols or as a transition weapon for CQB environments when you can often sneak up to other airsoft participants to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter scenario, a fast second follow-up shot isn’t really needed given that the other player is already struck and out of the game play or heading back to respawn. Beware when engaging many different opponents considering that the spring airsoft gun just fires as quick as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB by hand.
About Spring Pistol Effectiveness
Spring guns are quite reliable under the appropriate scenarios and airsoft games. Their FPS often chronos at around 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter weight 0.12g airsoft BBs. These guns generally fire lighter weight airsoft BBs because the pitched springs are less powerful than other styles of airsoft weapons. Spring guns can normally engage targets at ranges of up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs however the ability to hit targets decreases rapidly. Choosing conventional 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will most likely have a shooting distance of about 60 to 80 feet or less with enhanced precision.
About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Pistols
AEG airsoft pistols or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are also a viable option to bring into the field as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the pistol’s grip. They work similar to an AEG rifle and use compressed air forced through electrically cycled pistons, cylinders, and gearboxes to propel airsoft BBs quickly and very rapidly at that.
AEG pistol magazines usually carry around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can shoot airsoft BBs up to around 300 FPS when loaded with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS when loaded with 0.20 gram airsoft BBs. The electric battery powered gearbox system can shoot around 700+ BBs per minute which is estimated if you have enough spare magazines to reload (after every 20 to 30 shots) and the battery lasts that long. These pistols can effectively shoot airsoft BBs at about 150 foot distances.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG pistol quality has risen substantially over the last few years. The initial generation guns were a little bit sketchy and undependable, but the more recent versions have most of the bugs worked out and make effective airsoft backup guns. They can be upgraded with maximized mag capacities as well as accommodating larger batteries.
A big benefit of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the opportunity to rewire the wires to use a larger battery. Depending on the AEG handgun style, you may be able to get a substantial jump in performance and fire rate utilizing a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as opposed to the standard battery. Beware of changing the components and wires since you must take into account the volts, mAh, and electrical loads of the battery. Ask an expert weapon service technician at your nearest airsoft store if you have customization concerns.
Which Airsoft Pistol is Right for Me to Play with?
Selecting the ideal airsoft pistol for you depends upon how much you can afford to spend, how much you want to play airsoft using it, and where you decide to play. If you have more than $100 to invest in your airsoft handgun, check out a green gas pistol or AEP handgun. These kinds of pistols are usually the top-tier guns, have good performance, and can be a great pistol to purchase. Consider a CO2 pistol or more affordable green gas GBB pistol if you have in-between more than fifty but less than one-hundred dollars to put towards an airsoft gun purchase. Mid-tier guns like these will still finish the job and are tough sidearms. Look for a lower end CO2 or spring pistol if you have less than fifty dollars. You can still buy a dependable airsoft pistol to use for the handgun games.
