What Is an Airsoft Pistol?

An airsoft pistol is a replica of a real hand gun. It is classified as a toy gun, but looks exactly like a real gun. It is close copy; many small details are the same for both guns. The only major difference between the guns is the projectiles used. Airsoft pistols shoot small 6mm BBs instead of bullets. The BB bullets are made of plastic.

Airsoft pistols are used primarily for training purposes or for playing skirmish games. They shoot using a variety of mechanisms – spring, gas, or electric motor compressed spring. The speed of the plastic pellets is relatively slow – about 200 feet per second, so they cannot penetrate skin. Being shot with an airsoft pistol hurts a bit, and special eye and/or face protection is worn at all games. Since the look of an airsoft pistol and a real gun is very similar, the tip of an airsoft gun is painted in bright orange to distinguish these toys from real weapons. Many lower grade airsoft pistols are made of clear plastic to further make the difference obvious.

Type of Airsoft Pistols

There are several type pf airsoft pistols available on the market. They are categorized based on the mechanism used to propel BBs. There are three major types of air soft pistols that are manufactured: Spring airsoft, electric airsoft, pressurized gas pistol, hybrid airsoft.

Spring Airsoft Pistols

These are the cheapest of all airsoft pistols, usually in the less than 10$ range. These have a relatively low quality and life span.

Gas airsoft pistols

These work on compressed gas like HFC- 134a gas or green gas.

Hybrid airsoft pistols

These use individual shells filled with gas and a single BB. Usually very expensive, some revolvers use this system.

Electric airsoft pistol

There are two varieties of electric airsoft pistols on the market. The airsoft electric pistol (AEP), which uses durable metal internal parts and an electric blowback (EBB) version, which uses cheaper plastic internal parts and has a moving slide.

Airsoft Electric Pistol (AEP)

Airsoft electric pistols are one of the most popular airsoft sidearms among serious players. In an airsoft electric pistol, electric motor, powered by a rechargeable battery compresses a spring which creates a burst of compressed air to propel the pellet. All together, this complicated mechanical assembly is referred to as the “gearbox”.  Airsoft electric pistols are the most popular type and offer some great advantages over springers, particularly in terms of the rate of fire and shot distance. AEPs have 2 firing modes – semi automatic and fully automatic.

Because of the quality gearbox design, airsoft electric pistols can last for a very long time. It is not uncommon to have an AEP survive many games with no performance problems.

Airsoft electric pistols offer a number of advantages over either spring or gas pistols. The gun does not have to be cocked before each shot, which makes the gun capable of shooting a lot faster than a springer. There’s also no need to purchase, store and transport compressed gas, which makes the cost of ownership of an electric pistol cheaper than that of a gas pistol.

Although there are a lot more reasons to buy an airsoft electric pistol, there are many tips and tricks that you can learn before buying your first airsoft electric gun.  You will enjoy electric airsoft a lot more if you know about the models and specifications of airsoft equipment.

I’ve been an avid collector of electric airsoft guns and all different types of bb guns for the majority of my life though the last few years have seen my enthusiasm for collecting wane just a bit. Things like a wedding, the birth of my first child and a promotion at work have eaten up the little free time I once enjoyed. I still love my air guns mind you, these days it’s just a matter of prioritizing things and my love of collecting and shooting usually falls by the wayside as the family must come first.

Even with all of the new responsibility I have recently taken on, my new neighbor shares the same passion for air and bb guns that I do. As the last two years have been extremely busy for me I ended up moving all of my guns into storage as I found no time for them, however with my neighbor being so inquisitive as to just how extravagant my collection is I have been bringing a few of my air rifles out to share with him. I’ll be the first to admit too that his collection dwarfs mine and I’ve always considered myself a hard core fan of bb guns and the like.

After sharing our collections and stories with each other I was invited to shoot with him over in his back yard. Upon receiving this invitation I took out a few more of my air guns and cleaned them up for the upcoming weekend. I was pleasantly surprised at how some of my guns had held up over the past two years as I expected them to be much dirtier and in need of quite a bit of work. This made the process of cleaning them more enjoyable and all that was left was to do was to buy some pellets and bb’s.

Our weekend of bb guns and BBQ came quickly which was nice as I was overly anxious to shoot again. When I arrived my neighbor immediately showed me his back yard and I was flabbergasted at just how much detail he had put into making a makeshift shooting range. There where of course four shooting posts complete with targets on them, a launcher for clay pigeons, and a row of cans lined up for us to shoot at. Seeing all of this harkened me back to the days when I had first started collecting as a young teenager.

My neighbor and I spent what felt like an hour, but was actually six hours shooting everything we could get our hands on. The action stopped only because we both ran out of bb’s and pellets. I came with two handguns and one air rifle and all three guns got a well deserved work out. Finding the time to spend a few hours anywhere but my own home is difficult but luckily my wife understands how important something like this to me and so we now have a schedule set up that allows me to partake in my hobby once more, and on a regular basis too!
