FAQ for Distributors: CO2 Cartridge Specs, MOQ, and Shipping Terms
1. Which CO2 cartridge size is most commonly used in airguns?
12g cartridges are the global standard for CO2-powered air pistols and entry-level rifles. For higher capacity or semi/full-auto models, 16g and 88g cartridges are often preferred to extend shot count and reduce reloads.
2. Can I order different cartridge sizes in one shipment?
Yes — we offer mixed-size shipments and bundled packing solutions. You can combine 12g, 16g, 33g, 45g, and 88g CO2 cartridges within the same container, along with accessories like inflators or O-rings, to reduce freight cost and simplify logistics.
3. What documents are required when importing airgun CO₂ cartridges from China?
To clear customs smoothly, be sure to request the correct HS code (28112100), a UN1013 / Class 2.2 packaging declaration, and supporting documents like MSDS and SDS. It’s important that the product is clearly labeled as a gas cartridge, not a firearm accessory, to avoid misclassification or delays. We recommend working with suppliers or freight forwarders who offer DDP or DDU shipping services to minimize clearance risks.
4. Do your CO2 cartridges fit major airgun brands like Crosman or Umarex?
Yes — we manufacture cartridges with threading and dimensions that are compatible with most mainstream airguns. Our quality control process includes thread tolerance checks and fitting validation. If you have a unique platform, we can support sizing consultation before order.
5. How do you ensure leak-proof and consistent cartridge performance?
Every cartridge is subjected to leak detection, pressure testing, and internal degreasing before packing. We use anti-rust coatings, high-purity CO2 gas, and maintain batch traceability to ensure safety and performance consistency from production to delivery.
6. Why choose CO2 cartridges instead of green gas or HPA tanks for airguns?
CO2 offers the best balance of portability, pressure consistency, and global availability. Unlike green gas, which contains added lubricants and varies in pressure, CO2 is cleaner and more stable under repeated firing. Compared to HPA systems, CO2 cartridges require no external tanks, regulators, or recharge stations, making them ideal for B2B buyers building kits, retail products, or field-use solutions.
7. What’s the difference between threaded and non-threaded CO2 cartridges?
Threaded cartridges (e.g. 3/8″-24 UNF) are more secure, leak-resistant, and common in professional training or higher-powered platforms. Non-threaded (plug-in) cartridges are often used in compact pistols or cost-sensitive kits for quicker installation. We recommend threaded if your end users prioritize durability and air-tight performance.
8. Are 16g or 88g cartridges better for tactical kits than 12g?
That depends on the application. 12g is most versatile, but 16g offers more shots per cartridge — ideal for multi-burst or light semi-auto systems. 88g is suited for club or extended-use rifles, especially when cartridge changeout frequency needs to be minimized. Bulk buyers often carry two sizes for flexible bundling.

Which CO2 Cartridge Brands Are Trusted Most in the Airgun Market?
How Many Shots Can Each CO2 Cartridge Deliver in Airguns?
“How many shots can each cartridge actually deliver?”
🎯 Shot Count Comparison by Cartridge Size and Gun Type
| Cartridge Size | Blowback Pistol | Non-Blowback Pistol | CO2 Air Rifle | HPA Rifle (Using Regulated CO2 Adapter) |
| 12g | 50–60 shots | 80–110 shots | 60–80 shots | N/A |
| 16g | 65–80 shots (est.) | 100–120 shots (est.) | 70–90 shots (est.) | N/A |
| 33g | — (less common) | — (less common) | 80–100 shots | ~500 shots |
| 45g | — (rare) | — (rare) | 100–120 shots (est.) | ~700+ shots |
| 88g | Not used in pistols | Not used in pistols | 200–300 shots | 1000–1800+ shots |
📌 Estimates based on standard factory CO2 loads, moderate weather (20–25°C), and efficient valve systems. Your real results may vary — we’ll explain why below.
Why Shot Counts Vary: 6 Factors You Can’t Ignore
1. Blowback or Non-Blowback Mechanism
- Blowback guns consume extra CO2 to cycle the slide.
- Non-blowback models are far more efficient — up to 40% more shots.
2. Firing Mode: Rapid vs Controlled
- Rapid fire = less time for pressure to stabilize = more gas wasted.
- Slow, spaced shots conserve pressure and increase total output.
3. Pellet Caliber
- .22 pellets are heavier → use more gas per shot
- .177 pellets are lighter → get more shots per cartridge
4. Seal & Piercing Quality
- Loose threads or poor piercing = leaks = wasted CO2
- Our cartridges are engineered for tight tolerances and leak-proof output.
5. Barrel Length & Efficiency
- Rifles with longer barrels allow CO2 to fully expand, delivering more power with less gas.
6. Temperature
- CO2 is temperature-sensitive:
- ❄️ 5°C / 41°F → performance drops up to 30%
- 🌤️ 20–25°C / 68–77°F → optimal range
- ☀️ 35°C+ / 95°F+ → risk of overpressure (not ideal)
Which Cartridge Is Best for Your Customers?
| Use Case | Recommended Size |
| Entry-level pistols | 12g (non-threaded) |
| Tactical handguns | 16g (threaded) |
| Standard air rifles | 33g or 45g |
| High-volume HPA training rifles | 88g + Regulator Adapter |

Can HPA Air Rifles Use CO2 Cartridges — and Why Do They Deliver So Many More Shots (with Consistent Power)?
✅ Can HPA Air Rifles Use CO2 Cartridges?
- ✅ A CO2-to-HPA adapter kit (e.g., from LA Innovations, PolarStar, Tippmann)
- ✅ A pressure regulator to reduce CO2 output to ~80–130 psi
- ✅ An anti-siphon system to block liquid CO2 from entering the regulator
⚠️ Never connect raw CO2 directly to an HPA system without a regulator. Liquid CO2 expansion can damage internal components or create dangerous overpressure.
CO2 vs HPA Rifle Performance: Shot Count & Power Comparison
| Feature | Traditional CO2 Rifle | HPA Rifle (with CO2 Cartridge + Regulator) |
| Shots from 88g cartridge | 200–300 shots | 1000–1800+ shots ✅ |
| Gas usage per shot | High — wasteful | Low — precise and consistent ✅ |
| Output pressure | ~850 psi (non-adjustable) | 80–130 psi (adjustable) ✅ |
| Velocity consistency | ±10–20 fps (unstable) | ±2–3 fps (very stable) ✅ |
| Temperature sensitivity | High — performance drops | Low — regulated output stays stable ✅ |
| Max adjustable velocity | Fixed by design | Adjustable (e.g., 280–450+ fps) ✅ |
| Power output (joules) | 12–16 J (typical range) | 8–20+ J depending on regulator ✅ |
Why Can HPA Systems Deliver So Many More Shots?
- Traditional CO2 rifles release raw gas at full tank pressure — fast but wasteful.
- HPA-converted rifles regulate pressure before each shot, using just what’s needed and preserving every gram of CO2.
Who Should Use HPA + CO2 Setups?
- 🔫 Tactical trainers & law enforcement
- 🎯 Competitive shooting clubs
- 🛠️ Modding enthusiasts
- 📦 High-volume users seeking maximum efficiency

Which Airgun Models Are Most Sensitive to Cartridge Compatibility?
Common Compatibility-Sensitive Models
Airgun models known for being cartridge-sensitive include:
Crosman 2240 / 2250
These classic pistols are widely used but notoriously picky. Even a slight variation in neck diameter or taper angle can cause insertion resistance or misalignment with the piercing pin.
Umarex Legends Series
Many models within this line feature narrow valve inlets and rely heavily on exact threading engagement. Thread slippage or improper sealing can result in slow leaks or wasted cartridges.Custom-modified or 3rd-party kits
Guns upgraded with aftermarket parts or adapters (especially for burst-fire or tactical use) may lose the original tolerance envelope and require even tighter cartridge specs.
How to Prevent Jamming or Leaking Issues
To ensure trouble-free use across most platforms, we recommend:
Neck Diameter ≤ 20.5 mm
A tighter tolerance here avoids over-insertion or seating resistance.Polished Taper and Consistent Inlet Length
Smooth entry edges and uniform depth help cartridges pierce cleanly without bending or offset.Accurate Thread Standards
For threaded models, ensure compatibility with 3/8″-24 UNF or 1/2″-20 UNF, depending on platform.Degreased Interior Surface
This prevents gas contamination or seal degradation in systems with tighter valve designs.
✅ What We Offer
Our CO2 cartridges are produced under strict dimensional control, with leak testing, taper finish inspection, and thread verification. For brands targeting sensitive gun models, we can provide sizing support and test-fit data before mass production.

Tactical / Defense Training Systems → Offer threaded 12g–16g, tight sealing under rapid fire
Custom OEM Kits → Provide both options with branding, let clients define final assembly specs
Why Do CO2 Cartridges Cause Jamming, Leaking, or Misfiring in Airguns?
Understanding the Root Causes and How to Prevent Them
Whether you’re supplying for airgun retailers, clubs, or tactical gear brands, issues like “cartridge stuck,” “leak on first use,” or “no gas release” can directly impact customer satisfaction and return rates. These problems often stem from small but critical manufacturing flaws — avoidable with the right factory and specs.
1. Neck and Seal Precision Issues
CO2 cartridges that fail to pierce or get stuck in the chamber are typically caused by bottleneck diameters exceeding 20.5mm, or inconsistent taper angles at the sealing cone. Sensitive models like Crosman 2240 or Umarex Legends require tight tolerances.
What to do:
Demand CNC-machined bottle mouths with cone tolerances within ±0.05mm, and confirm compatibility with your target airgun models during sampling.
2. Residual Oil and Internal Contaminants
If the inside of the cartridge contains metal dust, lubricant residue, or moisture, it may block the piercing valve or cause unusual odor and inconsistent discharge.
How to verify:
Request MSDS, and ensure your supplier conducts ultrasonic cleaning or dry-gas purging pre-filling.
3. Irregular Sealing Surfaces
A flat or uneven seal leads to slow leaks or instant gas loss after piercing — especially under high-pressure firing.
Recommended checks:
Perform leak testing (foam or pressure hold test)
Validate piercing consistency across batches
Supporting Tools You Should Offer with Bulk Orders
O-ring backup sets for customer-side troubleshooting
Piercing depth diagrams to assist with compatibility education
Leak detection foam spray for easy pre-sale QC testing
Choosing the right cartridge isn’t just about gas weight or purity.
It’s about precision, cleanliness, and compatibility — the key factors that protect both your brand and your customer’s gear.
Why Do CO2 Cartridges Freeze Up During Use?
And What It Means for Performance and Safety
Many airgun users are surprised when a freshly punctured CO2 cartridge starts forming frost or even ice around the neck. This is not a product defect — it’s basic thermodynamics at work. But it can affect shooting consistency and user safety if left unaddressed.
The Science Behind CO2 Freezing
When a CO2 cartridge is pierced and released rapidly, the gas inside expands quickly from liquid to vapor. This phase change absorbs a large amount of heat, dropping the surface temperature of the cartridge below freezing within seconds.
Symptoms include:
Frost buildup or visible ice
Drop in gas pressure after initial shots
Delay in firing cycles for semi-auto models
Risk of skin contact burns (“cold burns”) near the valve or grip area
Does Freezing Impact Airgun Performance?
Yes — particularly in rapid fire, high-pressure or low-temperature environments. As internal pressure drops, your shots may become weaker or inconsistent. For tactical trainers or club shooters, this can disrupt performance significantly.
Recommended Solutions for End Users
To ensure optimal use and safety, we recommend:
Anti-freeze foam sleeves
Wraps around the cartridge to protect hands and delay temperature dropRubberized grips or insulation pads
Common in inflator kits and tactical setupsControlled firing rate
For training sessions, allow 5–10 seconds between shots to stabilize pressure
💡 Distributors’ Tip: Including an optional foam grip or anti-freeze pad in your kit not only improves user experience but also helps position your brand as professional and rider/marksman-focused.
Can CO2 Cartridges Be Refilled?
Why Single-Use Cartridges Should Never Be Recharged — And What to Offer Instead
This is a question that often comes up among first-time buyers or eco-conscious customers:
“Can I reuse this CO2 cartridge after it’s empty?”
The short answer is no — and for good reason.
Why Recharging Is Dangerous
Standard 12g–25g CO2 cartridges are designed as single-use high-pressure vessels. They are sealed with a crimped neck, not a valve. Any attempt to refill them can result in:
Structural failure or explosion
Seal rupture during use
Legal liability in regulated markets
For safety and compliance, never attempt to recharge or reseal single-use CO2 cartridges.
What Are the Eco-Friendly Alternatives?
While the cartridges themselves are disposable, there are sustainable practices that your business can adopt or promote:
✅ 1. Use Fully Recyclable Steel Cartridges
Our cartridges are made of recyclable carbon steel. Encourage your customers to dispose of used cartridges through local metal recycling programs.
🔁 2. Offer Buyback or Return Incentives
Work with dealers to provide cartridge return boxes or loyalty-based trade-in programs — especially useful for shooting ranges, clubs, and event operators.
🌱 3. Recommend Refillable HPA Systems
For advanced or long-term users, consider promoting high-pressure air (HPA) cylinders or green gas systems. These can be safely refilled and used hundreds of times.
👉 See also: [Question 10 – Should You Switch to Refillable HPA Bottles for Tactical Shooting?]
💡 Sustainability Note for Distributors:
More retailers and governments are emphasizing low-waste packaging and product end-of-life transparency. We support OEM packaging with recycling symbols, carbon offset information, and post-use disposal guidance to help you stay ahead of regulatory expectations.
How to Properly Store and Ship CO2 Cartridges for Airguns
What Airgun Suppliers Need to Know About Compliance and Risk Control
Unlike beverage or bike-use cartridges, airgun CO2 cartridges are directly linked to personal safety and firearms-like functionality. That means both storage protocols and transport documentation must be extremely precise — from warehouse to end-user.
Hazard Classification for Airgun CO2 Cartridges
UN Code: UN1013
Hazard Class: Class 2.2 – Non-flammable compressed gas
Typical Cartridge Size: 12g (non-threaded), often packed in bulk sleeves or blister packs for tactical kits
Note: Customs in the U.S., EU, and Australia may request model-specific documentation for airgun use.
Packaging Standards – What You Must Follow
For international shipping or Amazon-style retail logistics, proper packaging prevents leakage, damage, or customs rejections:
| Packaging Layer | Requirement | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Inner tray | Foam grid / honeycomb support | Prevents movement, puncture |
| Outer carton | Export-strength, labeled “Class 2.2” | Must display UN1013 symbol |
| Labeling | GHS / Dangerous Goods marks | Must match MSDS description |
| Docs | MSDS, DGD, Packaging certificate | Batch number must be traceable |
Pro Tip: For tactical gear kits, ensure cartridges are packed separately from any ignition devices or valve components to avoid being flagged as weapon-related risk.
Storage Best Practices for Shooting Clubs and Distributors
Airgun CO2 cartridges are often stored in field trailers, shooting ranges, or club backrooms — where temperature control is inconsistent.
To maintain safety and cartridge reliability:
Store in dry, shaded areas below 45°C
Avoid vehicle trunks or sealed cases in direct sun
Do not stack cartons directly against heat sources (e.g., warehouse walls)
