What is a CO2 Air Pistol

A CO2 pistol is a handgun that uses CO2 (carbon dioxide as a propellant to fire pellets of BBs. These versatile guns offer a unique shooting experience that combines realism, convenience, and affordability.

How Does a CO2 Air Pistol Work

CO2 air pistols use a simple and effective mechanism. When you pull the trigger, a valve opens to release a measured amount of CO2 is released behind the pellet. The released gas expands quickly to push the pellet down the barrel and toward the target.

This process allows for rapid firing with semi-auto or full-auto models available. Many CO2 pistols also incorporate blowback action, simulating the recoil of a firearm for a more realistic and fun shooting experience.

Why Should I Buy a CO2 Air Pistol

The ammunition used in CO2 pistols is typically BBs or pellets, or sometimes both. CO2 as a power source is unique in that it provides remarkably consistent velocities as long as some liquid CO2 remains in the cartridge and the temperature doesn't get too low. These co2 guns fall broadly across 3 categories - historic replica pistols, replicas of modern pistols, and air pistols that are original designs.

CO2 is a compressed gas that expands when released. When used in CO2 pistols, the gas produces up to five times more energy than an equal volume of butane or propane can, and they leave no residue behind. Two sizes of CO2 cartridges include 8 gram and 12 gram. Depending on the size of the cartridge, CO2 guns can deliver as few as 30 shots to as many as 200 shots before you have to replace the cartridge. This makes most CO2 air pistols affordable to shoot.
