CO2 airsoft guns are powered by CO2 capsules especially designed for this purpose. Although the concept was first developed in the 1800's, it was only with the recent development and introduction of the multiple shot CO2 airguns with cylinder magazines and the new style disposable CO2 capsules, which has increased popularity with airgun shooters today.
Today CO2 airguns have more complex construction than actual firearms. Models vary but most actual firearms consist of 40-50 single component parts while the CO2 equivelant airgun features between 80-90 components, being manufactured in incredible detail and with great precision. Easily operated by simply inserting the CO2 capsule into the pistol causing this to be mechanically pierced by a bolt during closing. Pulling the trigger causes the hammer to hit the pestle opening a valve in order that the gaseous CO2 escapes and projects the ammunition.
The majority of the models available today depend on a cylinder style magazine and are either single or double action firing. Whichever style CO2 pistol that you decide upon i.e. revolver, semi-auto or blow back, you are assured to experience fast powerful accurate and addictive fun.
