    • Full metal construction
    • CO2-powered GBB pistol
    • Perfect for WW2 buffs and reenactors

    If you are looking for a sidearm which fits in well with a WW2-themed loadout, you will struggle to find a more iconic option than the P08 Luger.

    This instantly recognisable German pistol was mass issued to the Imperial German Army throughout WW1 and also to the German Wehrmacht of WW2, and was produced between 1898 and 1949.

    The KWC Airsoft P08 is constructed entirely from metal and sports a fully functional gas blowback toggle locked action, and is fuelled by 12g CO2 capsules to provide forceful recoil and an immersive firing experience.

    With each shot, the toggle will lift as the pistol cycles and return to place, just like the real thing. For some old-school cool, you can't beat a Luger!

    When it comes to performance, the 629 Trust Me is a bit on the spicy side to say the least, hitting out at 500 FPS +/- 10% using 0.2g BBs. You can tell the marshalls at your local site "Trust me, I know what I'm doing" and they still probably won't let you use this potent platform in game! Regardless, the 629 Trust Me makes one heck of a plinker for target shooting, offering a realistic revolver experience thanks to its working double action/single action trigger, rotating cylinder, functional hammer and realistically finished .44 Magnum style shells.

    Whether you're delicately placing it on a satin pillow for display or using it to lay down the law, the Umarex Smith & Wesson 629 'Trust Me' CO2 Airsoft Revolver will give you the thrill only a revolver can!

    • WW2 Era 1911 variant - Old school cool

Boasting full metal construction and a Tokyo Marui-based internal build, the highlight of this 1911 platform is its incredible recoil, booming muzzle report and very impressive rapid-fire performance. Most green gas-powered 1911s suffer from a small gas reservoir restricting their consistency under rapid fire but we are happy to report that the KJ Works M1911A1 is exceptional in this regard.

    Based on the real steel M1911A1, the 1911 variant issued during WW2, the Korean War and the Vietnam War, this is the variant to go for if you're running a retro primary. If you prefer a sidearm which is simple and effective with a side of old-school cool, the KJ Works M1911A1 GBB Pistol; CO2 Version is exactly that!

    If you're after an affordable winter sidearm, the Lancer Tactical LTX-3 CO2 Blowback Pistol is a great option. Made entirely from high-density polymer with a unique "half blowback" action, the LTX-3 is nothing like any other Airsoft GBB pistol we've encountered, functioning similarly to CO2-powered Air pistols, which prioritise performance above realism.

    Powered by 12g CO2 Bulbs inserted into the rear of the grip, the LTX-3 is almost a revolver in disguise, offering the shape of a semi-automatic pistol without the dreaded cooldown effect, which ruins cold-weather performance. While its half-blowback action isn't as realistic as the usual Airsoft GBB, it still provides an immersive firing experience and cycles extremely quickly following the load "crack" emitted from the muzzle. If you're fed up with your Green Gas pistol gassing out in cold weather but don't want to load up on CO2 mags, the Lancer Tactical LTX-3 CO2 Blowback Pistol is the perfect cold-weather sidearm!

    About Our CO2 Airsoft Pistols

    If you're searching for CO2 Airsoft pistols in the UK, you're likely after stronger recoil, improved cold-weather performance and consistent power shot after shot. CO2-powered pistols are a popular choice for skirmishers who want a reliable sidearm that performs when green gas struggles, especially during colder UK game days. At Patrol Base, we offer a wide range of CO2 Airsoft pistols, from realistic licensed replicas to high-performance platforms built for aggressive gameplay.

    CO2 Airsoft pistols are known for their crisp blowback, higher FPS and dependable efficiency. Whether you're running a secondary for outdoor skirmishes or want a hard-kicking pistol for CQB, CO2 platforms deliver a more consistent experience across varying temperatures. You’ll find top options including Cybergun Desert Eagles for raw presence, Umarex Glock pistols for realism and reliability, and EMG STACCATO Hi-Capas for modern performance and speed.


    FAQ Section

    What are CO2 Airsoft pistols?

    CO2 Airsoft pistols use 12g CO2 cartridges stored inside the magazine or pistol grip to power each shot. This system provides higher pressure than green gas, resulting in stronger recoil and more consistent performance in colder conditions.

    They are commonly used by players who want a dependable sidearm year-round, particularly for outdoor skirmishing where temperature can impact gas efficiency.

    What is the best CO2 Airsoft pistol?

    The best CO2 Airsoft pistol depends on your priorities. If you want realism and licensed styling, Umarex Glock pistols are a top choice. For something more powerful and visually aggressive, Cybergun Desert Eagles stand out with their strong recoil and iconic design.

    If performance is your focus, EMG STACCATO Hi-Capas offer fast cycling, modern ergonomics and excellent handling, making them ideal for competitive or fast-paced gameplay.

    How do you put a CO2 cartridge in an Airsoft pistol magazine?

    To install a CO2 cartridge, remove the magazine base plate or access screw, insert a 12g CO2 capsule into the designated compartment, and tighten the screw until the cartridge is pierced and sealed.

    It’s important to avoid over-tightening and to ensure the seal is properly lubricated using Airsoft gun oil. Regular maintenance helps prevent leaks and keeps your pistol performing consistently.

    How long does a CO2 cartridge last in an Airsoft pistol?

    A single 12g CO2 cartridge typically lasts between 40 and 100 shots, depending on the pistol design, temperature and firing speed. Rapid firing or full-auto use (where applicable) will reduce efficiency.

    For best performance, carry spare CO2 cartridges during game days to ensure uninterrupted use.

    Are CO2 Airsoft pistols better than gas?

    CO2 pistols are generally better for cold weather and offer stronger recoil, but they can run at higher power levels and may require more careful maintenance as CO2 doesn't lubricate the pistol when it's fired.

    Green gas pistols are often easier to maintain and slightly more forgiving for beginners, as most green gas contains silicone lubricants, meaning less manual maintenance.

    If you regularly play outdoors in the UK or want maximum kick from your pistol, CO2 is often the better choice.

    What should I consider when buying a CO2 Airsoft pistol?

    When choosing a CO2 Airsoft pistol, consider power output, build quality and magazine compatibility. CO2 pistols can shoot hotter than gas alternatives, so it’s important to check site limits before skirmishing.

    You should also factor in running costs, as CO2 cartridges are single-use. Keeping your seals maintained with proper lubrication and using quality cartridges will help extend the lifespan of your pistol.


    CO2 Airsoft pistols are a solid choice for players who want consistent performance, strong recoil and reliability in all weather conditions. Whether you're upgrading your sidearm or choosing a pistol built for colder months, Patrol Base has a wide selection ready to go.
