Types of Airsoft Pistols

Aside from design features, one pistol looks much like another. Automatic pistols are more popular than revolvers, but still available in various places. They’re similar, so instead of discussing the features, we’ll look at how the guns are powered. 

Spring-Powered

These are the oldest types. It works on mechanical power, where you cock the gun to fire. The advantage of spring-powered models is that you don’t need gas or other consumables, and you don’t have to worry about the battery losing its charge. 

The disadvantage is that you fire one bullet at a time, and the load times are slow. If you acquire a model with an excellent spring, though, this can do some serious damage.

Gas-Powered

If you’re looking at a pistol, a gas-powered option is a safe bet. It’s reliable, loads faster, and may offer more pressure than with spring-powered models. The downside is that the airsoft pistol’s gas runs out rapidly.

You’ll also need to change the gas regularly depending on your local climate. CO2-powered gas pistol models shoot at higher pressures than green gas ones, but the latter is more economical and better for the gun’s interior.

Electric-Powered

These are the most popular types because they are reliable, economical, and deliver decent pressure. Over the long-term, they can save you a fair amount of money in gas refills.

The downside is that your battery can run out of juice at an inopportune moment. We recommend always carrying a spare battery.

Airsoft pistol features

All airsoft pistols have some common features:

Trigger

The trigger is what you pull to fire the pistol. Electric and gas airsoft pistols send a current or gas to the motor or chamber, respectively, which fires the BBs.

Slide

The slide is the movable component on the top of the pistol that recocks the gun and prepares it to fire again. On gas pistols, the slide also houses the gas cartridge.

Frame

The frame is the main body of the pistol. It's usually made from plastic or metal.

Magazine

The airsoft magazine is the component that holds the gas or BBs. On gas pistols, it also houses the CO2 cartridge.

Safety switch

The safety switch is a small switch on the side of the pistol that prevents it from firing. It's usually locked when the pistol is ready to fire.

Barrel

The barrel is the part of the pistol that the BBs travel through before being expelled. On electric and gas pistols, it's usually made from metal.

Airsoft pistol accuracy

How accurate an airsoft pistol depends on some factors, including the barrel length, the weight of the BBs, and the pistol's power. Airsoft pistols with a longer barrel are more accurate than those with a shorter barrel. Heavier BBs are more accurate than lightweight BBs. And airsoft pistols with more power are more accurate than those with less power.

Airsoft pistol range

Most airsoft pistols can fire BBs up to around 80 feet (24 meters). Some high-powered airsoft pistols can fire BBs up to 150 feet (45 meters) or more.

Hi-capa Airsoft pistol 

"Hi-capa" refers to high capacity 1911 or 2011 style pistols. These Airsoft pistols have a wider grip than standard 1911s and are able to house a high capacity "double stack" style magazine. Also, the gas reservoir is around twice as large.

Some airsoft pistols can be fired in full auto mode. This means that the pistol will fire many BBs with one pull of the trigger. Full auto mode is ideal for close-quarters combat (CQB).

Buying a cheap airsoft pistol

When buying a cheap airsoft pistol, there are several things to pay attention to. First, make sure that the pistol is made from quality materials. It should be constructed from metal or high-quality plastic. Check that the pistol has a good reputation for accuracy and range. Finally, make sure that it comes with a warranty.
