CO2

CO2 air pistols are powered by carbon dioxide from 12-gram cartridges, 88-gram cylinders, or CO2 transferred from a bulk tank into the gun's on-board reservoir. This is the powerplant most frequently used for “action” pistols that closely resemble their firearm counterparts. Advantages include convenience (CO2 cartridges are easy to carry in a pocket) and accuracy (in high-quality models). Because they are generally so easy to cock and produce virtually no recoil, CO2 pistols are often a great choice for all-round family shooting. At the same time, CO2 air pistols are not self-contained and velocities can sag at lower temperatures.
