Buy air pistols
An air pistol is a type of small weapon that uses the energy of compressed gas to fire a shot. Air pistols are used for sports target shooting and practicing primary shooting skills. Some powerful models are suitable for hunting birds and small animals.
Based on the type of barrel, pistols are divided into smoothbore and rifled ones. The first type uses BBs as the main type of ammunition. This type of barrel is inexpensive to manufacture and easy to maintain.
In rifled pistols, spiral notches in the barrel ensure that the bullet rotates around its axis. As a result, it has greater accuracy, especially at considerable distances. The ammunition used is mainly special lead bullets.
The most common pistols for recreational shooting are CO2 pistols. They use carbon dioxide (CO2) from special replaceable cartridges for firing, usually built into the handle. Pistols have automatic charging and simulation of the recoil of the weapon when firing (blowback).
A typical replaceable disposable cartridge is made of steel and contains 12 g of liquefied carbon dioxide under a pressure of about 60 atm. It is compact, which allows it to be placed even in the body of a small pistol, while providing about 50 shots, depending on the design of the weapon. Most often, air pistols shoot 4.5 mm steel balls and externally copy firearms.
Advantages of air pistols
- High replicability – most samples resemble firearms in appearance, controls work in a similar way, some pistols have a blowback. Such pistols are well suited for collecting and developing weapons skills.
- High rate of fire – most samples have capacious magazines of 10 BBs and have semi-automatic fire. Some models can fire in bursts.
- Affordable price – air pistols are affordable for most buyers.
- Low recoil.
The mail disadvantage of air pistols is their thermal dependence – liquefied carbon dioxide expands much more slowly at low temperatures. If it’s colder than +5 outside, the muzzle energy becomes very low.
Pay attention to:
- characteristics such as muzzle energy, caliber, barrel length and overall weight of the pistol;
- materials used – plastic or metal alloys;
- the principle of operation on which the speed of the bullet at the moment of the shot will depend;
- additional features and accessories.Today, Blazon catalog contains products from the world’s leading manufacturers. You can buy air pistols and knives as well as any related accessories. The store’s assortment is regularly updated with new products, so everyone can find something for themselves.
