How to Pick an Airsoft Pistol
Find out 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 ideal pistol and practicing with it can make a big difference in blasting your shots. Sidearms, naturally, are reduced range airsoft guns. They are most often designed after firearm guns or clones of actual handguns. Many different airsoft pistols are completely licensed variations of their genuine gun equivalents. These airsoft guns can function in the same ways and visually appear identically to the real guns they are designed around while shooting airsoft BBs as opposed to real-world bullets.
There are a number of types of airsoft sidearms consisting of CO2, green gas (blowback and non-blowback), spring powered, and AEG automatic electric pistols. Each of these forms of sidearms has benefits and differences connected with them. Learning more about the styles of airsoft pistols lets you figure out which type is right for you and your airsoft game play style.
CO2 Airsoft Sidearm Details
CO2 airsoft sidearms are one of the most popular and sturdy types of pistols. These pistols use pressurized CO2 gas to launch airsoft BBs out of the gun barrel.
These forms of airsoft weapons are excellent for playing in cold and snowy weather given that the pressurized CO2 gas is stored in the sealed cylinders and less prone to performance decreases with temperature. This fact gives CO2 airsoft pistols excellent FPS and shot consistency while playing airsoft in the winter months for example where other sorts of sidearms like green gas cease to operate or barely shoot airsoft BBs.
Info About CO2 Gas and CO2 Cartridge Cylinders
CO2 airsoft handguns are powered by common 12 gram CO2 cartridge cylinders. These cartridges resemble a metallic cylinder and hold high pressure CO2 gas comprised of one carbon atom and a pair of oxygen atoms thus the molecular formula of “C + O2”.
They come sealed to keep the CO2 gas securely inside, however as soon as they are opened (shooting them inside of an airsoft weapon breaks the cartridge seal) they will start to lose pressure if they are left unused. If the airsoft games end and you still have CO2 gas left, use the chance to do some pistol 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 do have a maker’s expiry date typically printed on the package or cartridge cylinder, but they will maintain pressure for a prolonged period past this date if the cartridge seal is not tampered with.
Green Gas Airsoft Handguns
Green gas airsoft handguns function similarly to CO2 handguns, but they do not use CO2 cartridges. Alternatively, they use green gas or propane gas for propellant to propel 6mm airsoft BBs. The impact on the battlefield and green gas handgun functionality is just about the same as CO2 pistols with the guns shooting up to about 300+ FPS. Shots are rapidly fired in automatic or semi-automatic firing modes and precisely hit targets at very short to mid-range ranges.
The green gas is held in the pistol’s grip within the magazine which can often hold in-between 15 to 20+ 6mm BBs based on the gun style. A set of valves, rubber stoppers, and seals keep the green gas pressurized in the pistol mag up to the point the handgun’s trigger is squeezed. It is a good idea to refill and top off the green gas supply in the mag each time you reload it. Pistol-wielding gamers can even take supplemental bottles of propane in the field for reloading magazines in-between lulls in the battle or between games.
When running a green gas sidearm on the airsoft field as a secondary or main weapon, extra pistol mags are recommended for quickly reloading. Having extra magazines allows you to join in the action in the middle of firefights or while sweeping structures in CQB (close quarters combat) room-to-room fighting.
Green gas pistols are optimal for CQB at airsoft fields since long guns and full-sized AEGs are usually not permitted to be used during indoor shooting. This is an essential safety standard because of the close range proximity of airsoft players during shooting engagements and potential for players to get hurt. While green gas pistols still fire airsoft BBs at about 300 FPS, the shorter pistol barrel assists to keep the joules and energy shooting the BB at a decreased level compared to airsoft rifles, sniper rifles, and long guns.
Thinking About Green Gas Blowback (GBB) VS Green Gas Non-blowback
There are 2 various types of green gas airsoft handguns. There are green gas blowback pistols or GBBs and non-blowback pistols. The green gas non-blowback airsoft pistols have a fixed slide which does not move.
About GBB and Green Gas Limits
While green gas normally performs extremely well, it does have limitations. When they are used throughout the winter season in the snow or in cold weather (like below 32 deg F). Given that the green gas or propane gas is stored in the pistol mag using silicone seals, o-rings, and gaskets, the cold can negatively affect these seals and allow the gas to escape prior to firing the handgun. The decrease in pressure can cause the airsoft BBs to merely shoot several feet (like 10 feet in the cold ) when the pistol would normally shoot airsoft BBs over 100+ foot ranges in warmer weather conditions).
One option to this problem is to keep the GBB handgun magazines warmer by putting them next to your body or by a heater just before game play starts. If you absolutely need to play with a trustworthy airsoft handgun in the cold, it might additionally be worth getting a CO2 style of your favorite pistol.
Spring Airsoft Pistol Info
Spring airsoft pistols are powered by strong coil springs that propel the BBs down the pistol barrel. They are typically single shot. The manual action of firing, reloading, and cocking spring guns makes the fire rate much slower than CO2 and GBB pistols. When fighting rivals on the airsoft field with upgraded rifles, fully automatic airsoft AEG rifles, SMGs, and CO2 or GBB airsoft handguns, this can make spring guns entertaining to use, but less effective.
Spring sidearms perform the best in springer battles where opponents can only use related, single shot spring weapons or as a transitional weapon for CQB environments when you can often sneak up to other airsoft players to get a guaranteed one-shot-one-kill. In the latter circumstance, a fast second followup shot will not be needed due to the fact that the other person is now hit by the first BB and out of the gameplay or heading back to respawn. When engaging a number of enemies because the spring gun just fires as quickly as you can re-chamber an airsoft BB manually, be cautious.
About Spring Handgun Performance
Spring guns are quite useful under the proper game circumstances. Their FPS often chronos at about 250 FPS to 300 FPS with lighter 0.12g airsoft BBs. These handguns normally fire lighter weight airsoft BBs since the springs are less effective than other types of airsoft weapons. Spring pistols can usually be accurate at up to 120 feet or more with 0.12g BBs but accuracy reduces rapidly. Using normal 0.20 gram weight airsoft BBs, you will probably have a reduced shooting distance of about 60 to 80 feet with heightened precision.
About AEG Automatic Electric Airsoft Sidearms
AEG airsoft sidearms or AEPs (automatic electric pistols) are definitely a viable option to bring as a secondary gun on the airsoft field. These automatic electric handguns are commonly powered by mini stick batteries in the gun’s handle. They operate much like an AEG rifle and use pressurized air with electrically cycled pistons, gearboxes, and cylinders to propel airsoft BBs quickly and rapidly.
AEG handgun magazines typically store around 20 to 30 airsoft BBs. The pistols can fire airsoft BBs as high as around 300 FPS with 0.12g airsoft BBs or 200 to 250 FPS with 0.20g airsoft BBs. The electrical gearbox system can shoot around 700+ 6mm BBs per minute which is estimated if you have enough spare mags to reload and the battery maintains its charge that long. These AEP handguns can effectively fire airsoft BBs at around 150 foot ranges.
AEG Pistol Quality and Efficiency
AEG pistol quality has grown considerably in the last few years. The earliest gen AEP guns were a bit questionable and unreliable, but the latest designs have the deficiencies resolved and make reliable airsoft backup weapons. They can be modded with increased magazine storage capacities along with accommodating bigger batteries.
A substantial benefit of carrying an AEG pistol is that you have the power to rewire the connections to use a bigger battery. Depending on the AEG handgun style, you can gain a sizable increase in performance by using a 2 cell Lipo battery (like an 2S Lipo) as a replacement for the stock battery.
What Airsoft Handgun is Right for Me to Play with?
Looking for the best airsoft handgun for you depends on how much you want to spend, how often you desire to play airsoft using it, and where you hope to play. Consider a GBB green gas pistol or AEP pistol if you have $100 or more to invest on your airsoft handgun. These kinds of pistols are typically the top-tier guns, have great performance, and are usually an excellent sidearm to buy. Consider a CO2 handgun or less costly green gas GBB pistol if you have about fifty to one-hundred dollars to put into an airsoft gun purchase. These guns will still finish the job and will be tough sidearms. If you have fifty dollars or less, search for a lower end CO2 or spring handgun. You can still find a well-built airsoft pistol to use for the handgun airsoft guns.
