Description
APS Smart Co2 Charger for Standard Cartridge Shell (CAM122)
The APS Smart CO2 Charger (CAM122) is a charging adapter for refilling APS CAM shotgun shells of the standard cartridge type with CO2. It lets you recharge your shells at home or in the safe zone, ready for the next game, and is an essential part of running a CAM 870 style shell-ejecting shotgun.
APS’s CAM shotguns use self-contained shells, each carrying its own gas and BBs, so a quick and reliable way to fill them is key. APS sells its smart chargers in versions for different CO2 sources; our sister listing CAM123 is the version for 88g CO2 capsules. Our listing for CAM122 does not state which CO2 source it uses, so check the product images to see the connection before ordering.
How it is used
The charger is connected to its CO2 source, and each shell is then charged in turn through the adapter, following APS’s instructions. Read the instructions that come with the charger before first use and practise the sequence slowly until you are confident.
Work in a well-ventilated area, keep your fingers clear of the valve, and never point a charged shell at anyone. Charge shells shortly before a game rather than storing them full for long periods.
Practical tips
Keep the threads and seals on the CO2 source and adapter clean, and wipe away grit before connecting, as dirt is the most common cause of leaks. Make sure the charger matches your shell type: APS has made several generations of CAM shells and chargers, and this one is listed for the standard cartridge shell.

Compatibility
For APS CAM shotgun shells of the standard cartridge type. Check the shell model of your shotgun before ordering, and check the images to confirm the CO2 source the charger connects to. APS also sells a version for 88g capsules (CAM123).
Care and maintenance
Keep the adapter dry and clean, and inspect its seals before each use. A drop of silicone oil on the seals now and then helps them last. Store it disconnected from any CO2 source.
Do not drop or knock a connected CO2 source, and keep CO2 out of direct sunlight and away from heat.
