How to Choose an Airsoft Pistol
Learn more about airsoft pistols and handguns and how you can use them as backup weapons or as main weapons on the airsoft playing field. Practicing your shot accuracy and getting the right sidearm can make a big difference in the accuracy of your shots. Sidearms, by nature, are reduced range airsoft guns. They are usually developed after genuine pistols or replicas of actual handguns. Many airsoft handguns are fully licensed models of their authentic handgun equivalents. These airsoft guns can look and function in the same ways almost identically to the real guns they are designed around while firing airsoft BBs rather than genuine bullets.
There are a variety of airsoft pistols such as CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these types of pistols have negatives and positives connected with them. Finding out about the varieties of airsoft sidearms lets you make a decision on which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
Details About CO2 Airsoft Handguns
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most popular and long-lasting types of handguns. These pistols use sealed CO2 gas cylinders to propel airsoft BBs out of the handgun barrel.
These kinds of airsoft pistols are great for airsoft games in colder weather conditions given that the pressurized CO2 gas is less sensitive to variation by temperature levels. This fact provides great FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the cold for example where other types of airsoft pistols like green gas stop operating or barely fire BBs.
Information About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by regular 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges look similar to a chrome metal cylinder and hold high-pressure CO2 gas made up of 1 carbon atom and a couple of oxygen atoms, subsequently the molecular formula comes out to be “C + O2 “. These atoms are bonded in the following sequence “O= C =O”. The gas is stored in the 12 gram cylinders under very high pressure of near ~ 800psi that correlates to 55bar.
The CO2 cylinders cannot be refilled and you can usually order them in packs of 12, 20, 50, or 100 12 gram CO2 cartridges. They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely within, once they are punctured (shooting them inside of an airsoft gun breaks the seal) cartridges will start to lose pressure if they are not expended. You need to try to deplete the whole CO2 cartridge the very same day you open the seal. Use the chance to do some pistol target practice and use up the rest of the extra gas if the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left. There is no gas level indication on the cartridge so you need to shoot up until the weapon stops cycling.
CO2 cartridges can be stored for a longtime if the cylinders are stored sealed. They come with the manufacturer’s expiration date typically marked on the box or cylinder, however they will probably last for a long period past this date if the cartridge seals are not punctured.
Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft pistols are comparable to CO2 handguns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. The operational impact on the battleground and green gas weapon performance is practically the very same as CO2 pistols with the guns around 300+ FPS.
The green gas is sealed in the pistol’s magazine which can typically hold around 15 to 20+ BBs depending on the gun style. A series of valves, rubberized gaskets, and o-rings keep the green gas housed in the magazine up to when the handgun’s trigger is pulled. It is a good choice to top off and fill up the green gas reserves in the magazine each time you load it into the pistol. Pistol-wielding players can even bring extra bottles of propane gas in the field for reloading in-between breaks in the war or in-between activities.
When using a green gas handgun on the airsoft field as a secondary or primary weapon, bringing extra magazines is advised for rapidly reloading and getting back into the game. Having additional mags allows you to get back in the action throughout firefights or while clearing structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room battles.
Green gas handguns are great for CQB at airsoft fields because long guns and full-sized AEGs are generally not enabled to be used during indoor engagements. This is a safety regulation due to the close range proximity of players during the shooting engagements and the potential for players to be injured. While green gas handguns still shoot airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel aids to keep the joules and energy forcing the BB lower compared to AEG airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various types of green gas airsoft pistols. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs where the slide moves and non-blowback handguns. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols use a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limitations
Due to the fact that the green gas or propane is kept in the handgun magazine by using rubber seals and silicone gaskets, cold temps can negatively influence these o-rings and cause the gas to leak out prior to shooting. The lack of pressure can make the airsoft BBs to just land a few feet away (like 10 feet in cold temps ) when the gun would normally shoot 6mm BBs over 100+ feet in warmer temperatures).
One fix to this problem is to keep the GBB pistol mags warmer by placing them next to your body before the airsoft game play. If you truly need to play with a reliable airsoft pistol in the cold, it may additionally be worth getting a CO2 variation of your favorite pistol.
Spring Airsoft Pistols
Spring airsoft guns are powered by strong springs that propel the BBs down the pistol barrel. They are generally able to only shoot one BB at a time. The manual functions of cocking, firing, and reloading spring pistols makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols. This makes spring airsoft guns fun to use, yet they can be less effective when confronting attackers on the airsoft field with upgraded weapons, auto airsoft AEG rifles and CO2 or GBB airsoft handguns.
Spring sidearms work the best in springer wars where airsoft players can solely use similar, single shot spring weapons or as a transitional weapon for CQB buildings when you can often surprise other airsoft opponents to get an assured one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a quick second followup shot is not really needed considering that the other player is now struck and out of the game or running back to respawn. When engaging numerous foes because the spring airsoft gun just fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Handgun Efficiency
Spring guns are very effective under the ideal situations. Spring guns like pistols can often shoot accurately up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but precision reduces rapidly.
AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearm Details
AEG airsoft handguns or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely an option to bring as a sidearm on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are typically powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s handle. They function much like an AEG rifle and use pressured air pumped through electrically cycled gearboxes, pistons, and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs quickly and very quickly at that.
AEG pistol mags generally hold about 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 using 0.20 gram airsoft BBs.
AEG Handgun Quality and Performance
AEG handgun quality has actually risen significantly in recent years. The earliest generation guns were a little bit questionable and unreliable, however the newer models have the deficiencies resolved and make effective airsoft secondary guns. They can be modded with enhanced magazine capacities and also accommodating more powerful batteries.
A substantial benefit of using an AEG handgun is that you have the ability to rewire the adapters to use a larger battery. Depending on the AEG handgun design, you can get a huge jump in performance by employing a two cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as an alternative for the stock AEP battery.
What Airsoft Handgun is Right for Me to Buy?
If you have $100 or more to spend on your airsoft handgun, you may want to consider a green gas blowback handgun or AEG handgun. If you have around fifty to one-hundred dollars to buy a gun, check out a CO2 pistol or more affordable GBB pistol. You can still get a durable airsoft pistol by checking out cheaper pistols and by trading with other players in the used airsoft gun market if you are trying to save money.
