Description
Co2 Capsules 12g (Non-Threaded)
These are 12 gram non-threaded CO2 capsules for airsoft pistols and airguns that use the standard plain-necked 12g cartridge. They are the most common CO2 size for handguns, usually fitted inside the grip or the magazine.
A supply of spare capsules is essential for any CO2 replica, as each capsule gives a set number of shots before it needs replacing. Non-threaded capsules are pierced by the replica as you tighten the capsule holder or lever.
Threaded or non-threaded
Some replicas use threaded capsules that screw directly into the gun, while many others use plain, non-threaded capsules held in place by a screw, lever or cap. These capsules are non-threaded, so they suit replicas made for the plain type. Check your manual before ordering, as a threaded system will not hold a non-threaded capsule.
Using CO2
CO2 gives a sharp, consistent shot and stays more usable in cool weather than green gas. Once pierced, aim to use a capsule within the same session. A drop of silicone oil on the tip of each capsule helps keep the replica’s piercing seal in good condition and reduces the chance of leaks.

Compatibility
For replicas and airguns that use non-threaded 12 gram CO2 capsules. Not for replicas that need threaded capsules, 88 gram cartridges, or green gas only. Check your manual to confirm.
Care and maintenance
Keep CO2 capsules somewhere cool and dry, away from heat and direct sunlight, and never puncture, heat or burn them. Always point the replica in a safe direction when you insert or pierce a capsule.
A drop of silicone oil (or a capsule with lubricant already on it) on the tip helps protect the piercing seal in your replica. Do not leave a pierced capsule in a replica for days at a time unless the maker says it is fine; when you have finished, release any remaining gas as the manual describes, and dispose of empty capsules responsibly.
Who is it for?
For owners of CO2 pistols, revolvers and airguns that use plain 12g capsules and need a supply of spare power.
Please note: The quantity per pack and the brand are not stated in our listing; please check the photos. CO2 is under high pressure: keep away from heat and never puncture or burn. Always wear eye protection.
