As opposed to more traditional BB guns, Airsoft CO2 rifles are designed to mimic existing firearms. As beautiful on the mantel as they are on the playing field, such weapons are well-crafted replicas that are capable of shooting with impressive accuracy. In fact, many owners often purchase them for the sole purpose of target practice.

Airsoft CO2 rifles use compressed carbon dioxide to propel their ammunition out of the barrel. Certain models can reach impressive velocities. A gun such as the KJ Works M700 P sniper rifle, for example, can reach speeds of up to 400 feet per second when using lighter 0.12 gram BBs. Made with numerous metal parts, it is a rugged and durable gun, one that provides reliable accuracy and excellent balance.

When it comes to Airsoft CO2 rifles, it is important to check to see if it is a blowback model or not. The term "blowback" refers the process by which the gas that projects the BB also pushes the slide back into place. This function is what allows a gas gun to offer semi-auto and full auto modes. A number of Airsoft CO2 rifles, such as the M712 Carbine by HFC, do not offer this option. In certain cases, this may be due to a need for greater realism.
