Description
APS CO2 Powered Scorpion Blowback Pistol (Black/Red – ACP614)
The APS Scorpion is a CO2-powered blowback airsoft pistol from APS’s ACP range, finished in a striking black and red two-tone. The Scorpion pairs the strength and consistency of CO2 with a lively blowback action and a bold, modern look.
APS is a well-established Hong Kong manufacturer with a long history of CO2 pistols, and its ACP models are known for strong, consistent performance. CO2 is less affected by cold than green gas, so a CO2 pistol keeps shooting well when temperatures drop, which makes the Scorpion a practical all-year sidearm for UK players.
Performance
CO2 is stored at a higher pressure than green gas, which gives a punchy, consistent shot and a sharp, noticeable blowback as the slide cycles. Because CO2 pressure holds up better in cold weather, you can expect more reliable performance on winter mornings than you would get from a green gas pistol, and fewer misfires when the temperature falls.
The blowback action cycles the slide on every shot, giving realistic recoil and making it quick to put follow-up shots on target.
Design and handling
The black and red two-tone finish gives the Scorpion a distinctive, eye-catching look that stands out from the usual all-black sidearms. The pistol follows a modern, full-size layout that is comfortable in the hand and quick to point, and the controls fall naturally under the thumb and trigger finger.
As with any CO2 pistol, it is worth getting familiar with how to fit and remove the CO2 capsule before your first game, so that changing gas on the day is quick and easy.
Gas and running costs
CO2 comes in small sealed capsules, which are easy to carry in a pouch or pocket and quick to change between games. Capsules are widely available, and because the power source is self-contained there is no need to carry a can of gas around the site.

Compatibility
Use APS magazines made for this pistol and standard CO2 capsules as specified in the instructions. Holster fit varies between pistols, so choose a holster made for this APS model or a universal holster, and check fit before relying on it in a game.
Care and maintenance
Put a drop of silicone oil on the magazine seals and the top of each new CO2 capsule before fitting it, which helps the seal and keeps it supple. Do not leave a capsule in the magazine for long periods; once you have finished shooting, empty the capsule safely as described in the instructions and remove it.
Store the pistol and magazines clean and dry, and wipe the pistol with a lightly oiled cloth after use. Clean the inner barrel with a cleaning rod and soft cloth if accuracy drops, and only use good quality seamless 6mm BBs. Never use petroleum-based oils or solvents on seals.
Who is it for?
The APS Scorpion suits players who want a punchy, dependable sidearm that keeps working through the colder months, and anyone who likes a pistol that stands out with a distinctive two-tone finish.
Please note: CO2 capsules and BBs are not included. Always wear suitable eye and face protection and check the power limits and pistol rules at your site before play.
