Description
APS Bumblebee XX CO2 Blowback Pistol (1 Short Mag and 1 Long Mag – Black/Gold – ACP620)
The APS Bumblebee XX (ACP620) is a CO2-powered gas blowback pistol from APS’s competition-inspired ACP range. Finished in black with gold detailing, it has the bold, sporty look of a practical shooting race gun, and it is supplied with both a short and a long magazine so you can choose between a compact profile and extra capacity.
APS has built a strong following for CO2 pistols that are fun to shoot and practical in the British climate. CO2 is much less affected by cold than green gas, so the Bumblebee XX keeps working when the temperature drops, making it a dependable sidearm for year-round outdoor play and an engaging pistol for target practice.
Design and handling
The Bumblebee XX is all about the race-gun look: a black and gold colour scheme and competition-style lines that stand out on the range or in a holster. A blowback slide cycles with every shot, giving felt recoil that makes practice more rewarding and the pistol more satisfying to shoot. Having two magazine lengths gives real flexibility: the short magazine keeps the grip compact for carry, while the long magazine adds capacity and a little extra to hold on to.
Performance
As a CO2 pistol, the Bumblebee XX delivers a crisp, consistent shot that suits skirmishing as well as target work. CO2 capsules are widely available and quick to change. For the best consistency, keep spare filled magazines warm in a pocket or pouch and allow a moment between rapid strings of fire, as all gas pistols cool with fast shooting.
Getting started
Before your first game, read the manual and practise loading the CO2 capsule into the magazine with the pistol unloaded. Load BBs into the magazine, insert it firmly until it clicks, and fire a few shots at a safe target to set the hop-up: adjust it until BBs fly flat rather than curving up or dropping early. Time spent on the range learning how the pistol behaves, and how many shots you get from a capsule, pays off on the field.

Compatibility
Uses CO2 capsules (check the manual for the type) and 6mm BBs. Spare magazines should be from the APS ACP range; check the model and length before ordering. Holster fit varies with competition-style pistols, so check holster compatibility with the APS ACP series.
Care and maintenance
Put a drop of silicone oil on the tip of each new CO2 capsule to help keep the magazine seals supple. Do not leave a capsule in a magazine for long periods; remove it once empty, following the manual. Keep the slide rails lightly lubricated with silicone oil, clean the inner barrel regularly, and only use clean, seamless BBs. Store the pistol and magazines somewhere dry.
Who is it for?
The Bumblebee XX is for players who want a distinctive, competition-styled CO2 sidearm with the flexibility of two magazine lengths, and for target shooters who enjoy a lively blowback pistol in any weather.
Please note: CO2 capsules and BBs are not included. Always wear suitable eye protection when shooting.
