Very easy to use, the CO2 rifle uses carbon dioxide to eject the lead. Loaded with liquid air cartridges, there is no need to lower the barrel to fire. Appreciated by competition shooting enthusiasts, its propulsion system reduces vibrations. More practical than the air rifle, the CO2 pellet rifle allows several shots to be fired without having to rearm it.
An over-the-counter rifle up to 20 joules
The CO2 rifle is a category D weapon. Like other pellet rifles, it is available over the counter up to 20 joules. Above this power, it becomes more dangerous and requires various proofs to be purchased. The vast majority of CO2 models are below 20 joules.
