Revolvers

What is a CO2 Revolver?

A CO2 revolver is a high-fidelity replica powered by compressed carbon dioxide - usually in 12-gram cartridges. This self-contained system uses expanding CO2 gas to propel BBs or pellets, resulting in consistent shot-to-shot velocity and realistic operation. Most CO2 revolvers in our lineup are chambered for .177 caliber (4.5mm) BBs (hardened steel balls for rapid-fire plinking) or pellets (diabolo-shaped projectiles prized for grouping and accuracy). Key features include:

• Authentic Replication: Realistic weights (often matching their firearm counterparts), full-metal construction, working cylinder latches, and functional cartridge loading for tactile satisfaction.
• Technical Design: Rifled or smoothbore barrels, single-action or double-action mechanisms, and manual safeties for controlled shooting.
• Performance Metrics: Typical velocities range from 300 to 425 FPS, with repeatable power for tight groups. The sealed design ensures minimal variance even in rapid-fire scenarios.

Unlike PCPs (pre-charged pneumatics) that demand tanks or pumps, or spring-piston guns requiring manual cocking, CO2 revolvers deploy quickly: insert the cartridge, load your ammo, and commence shooting---whether at home, in your backyard lane, or on the trail.

Essential Equipment for CO2 Revolver

Replica airgun revolvers powered by CO2 can provide endless opportunities for fun and memories. Here is some gear you'll want to stock up on:

• CO2: Each 12-gram CO2 cartridge powers multiple cylinders - yielding dozens of shots at a fraction of typical firearm expenses.
• Holster: Complete your kit by grabbing a leather holster to complement your airgun revolver.
• Oil: For maximum seal integrity and consistent cycling, add 1--2 drops of Crosman Pellgun Oil to the tip of each 12-gram CO2 cartridge before every other install.

Shooting CO2 Revolvers Safely

CO2 revolvers demand disciplined safety and technical precision - values honed since our 1996 founding. Before loading a 12-gram CO2 cartridge, ensure your revolver is pointed safely and cleared of ammo. Fully seat the cartridge for a sealed fit and consistent air flow.

As expanding CO2 propels each shot, maintain trigger discipline and operate the gun's model-specific safety, when available. Always use high-quality eyeprotection and set up a secure backstop for BBs or pellets.
