CO2 Pistols

[Jeff P]

I have one of those .177 Desert Eagle pellet pistols. My son and I go out to the garage and shoot from time to time. There are holes in the backyard garage door for proof. Purchase extra CO2 and magazines for holding the pellets.
After a while the pistol can stop firing. but I found the magazine seems to be the problem. Replace with a new one and keep firing at the OSAMA BEN LAUDEN target.

I'm always worried about the gas seals on these things, as thaiboy has shared. Anyone have one for longer than a year and still happy?

I've had mine for at least 5 years, but they've been stored most of that time. I've really only starting using them a lot in the last three months. I don't store them with a CO2 cartridge installed. So far they've been working just fine.

so i ended up getting the 30$ wally world Crossman special. It is nice and feels sturdy, and is rated to 480FPS. Shoots nice and is pretty loud in the garage, don't know if I can get away with that.

Looks something like this, but it doesnt have any removable mags.

My 'shop' is in my garage, so I also have a stereo in there. I always turn it up when I use the airguns so the 'pop' of the guns aren't obvious.
