HG175 P226 CO2 Airsoft Pistol

No, our CO2 airsoft pistols do not come with CO2 Capsules. We recommend that you take a look at the CO2 we recommend on this product page or see our CO2 Capsules under the accessories tab at the top of the page.

No, you must only use CO2 Capsules designed for airsoft or air pistols. Yes, you will see videos on YouTube showing how to use other CO2 in your pistol, but these have no lubricant and will damage your gun beyond repair while voiding your warranty.

BB pellets are, simply put, the ammo your airsoft pistol will use. Choosing the right BBs can be just as important as selecting the right pistol. This is because BB weight matters - this is simply how heavy the BB is. 0.20g is the most common weight of BBs, but 0.25g may give better accuracy.

If you are asking this question, the answer is yes: you must buy a blue pistol. If you are a newcomer to airsoft and have not attended an airsoft club or site, you will not currently be registered with UKARA. If you are over 18, you can purchase an Airsoft Two-Tone pistol. These blue pistols are UK legal and comply with the VCR Act of 2007.

You need to supply a defence at checkout if you want to buy a RIF (Real Imitation Firearm) - a Black / Tan / Gold / Silver with no blue bits. Make sure one of the following is true: the delivery address is not in the UK, you have a current UKARA membership, you have a current UKAPA membership, you are a member of a properly insured historical re-enactment group or society, you are a film, television or theatre production company, you are (or are acting on behalf of) a museum, you are a Crown Servant in pursuance of your Crown duties.

FPS means ‘feet per second’ - a measure of velocity or distance traveled in a given second. So, in theory, the higher the FPS, the further the BB pellet will travel. However, you will also need to consider BB pellet weight and, importantly, if you are using a Hop-Up unit.

A Hop-Up makes it so that when a BB is fired from the airsoft pistol, a small and grippy rubber pad rubs against the top of the BB. This has the effect of adding a backspin to the round projectile. Adding a backspin to any ball whilst flying through the air adds lift and therefore increases its range. Most high-end CO2 airsoft pistols have a hop-up.

No. CO2, unlike Gas airsoft pistols, do not display any performance issues in cold weather.

CO2 magazines can develop leakages in the O ring seals if not well looked after. There are some simple steps you can follow to prevent this: never empty the CO2 from the magazine - only do so by firing the pistol and NOT by pressing the valve button on the mag; always store the gun WITHOUT a capsule in the magazine; always use CO2 Capsules that have added silicon! Failing these steps, you can always replace the magazine with a new one or replace the valves and seals at fault - it's a simple and cheap job.
