CO2 Cylinder: Discount CO2 Cartridges and Cylinders for Air Guns
The CO2 cylinder was first used as a propellant gas in France and was later brought to the United States for use in air guns by Crosman, a leading air gun manufacturer, nearly 60 years ago. There are a number of reasons for using CO2 Cylinders in air guns. However, the main advantage of using CO2 to fire projectiles is that a small CO2 cylinder contains a large amount of liquefied gas that can easily be held within even smaller handgun style air guns and used to fire a large number of shots. The use of CO2 cartridges in air guns allows you to shoot many shots without any pumping necessary making this a quick and convenient method for powering air guns. At Hunting Camping Deals, we sell reliable CO2 cylinders for use in air guns at affordable prices. These discount CO2 cartridges are available in small packages or economical, bulk packages.
