Power Source

As previously mentioned, this replica operates with CO2. The space for the CO2 cartridges is located in the replica's magazine. The installation of the CO2 cartridge is atypical compared to most conventional magazines, as the cartridge head is positioned downwards. The piercing of the cartridge is done in two stages, and it is absolutely necessary to strictly follow the instructions in the manual. It is recommended to use high-quality BBs weighing 0.25g and not to reuse BBs or use inferior quality BBs, as this may damage the replica.
