Hwasan Co2 Pistol 45 (Full Metal – Blue)
This Hwasan pistol is a CO2-powered airsoft handgun styled on a classic .45 pistol, built with full metal construction and finished in blue. It combines the solid weight and feel of an all-metal replica with the punch and cold-weather consistency that CO2 is known for, and the blue finish gives it a look that stands out from the usual black.
Hwasan is a Korean manufacturer with a long history of making gas-powered airsoft replicas, including pistols, revolvers and shotguns. This pistol suits players who want a sturdy, weighty sidearm with the reliability of CO2, as well as collectors and target shooters who appreciate a full metal replica.
Why CO2?
CO2 runs at a higher pressure than green gas and is far less affected by low temperatures, so CO2 pistols keep performing on cold mornings when green gas replicas can slow down or struggle. CO2 also comes in sealed cartridges that are quick to swap and easy to carry in a pouch, which keeps the pistol simple to run through a full day. As with any CO2 replica, power can drop slightly during rapid shooting as the gas cools, so a steady pace gives the most consistent results.
Build and handling
Full metal construction gives the pistol real heft, which helps steady the sights and makes it feel solid and well-made in the hand. A metal body also tends to stand up well to the knocks a sidearm takes in a holster or on the bench. The classic .45 profile is one of the most recognisable pistol shapes ever made, with a grip angle many shooters find natural. The blue colour makes the pistol instantly recognisable in the kit bag and clearly marks it out as a replica.
On the range and at the site
A full metal CO2 pistol makes a dependable sidearm for skirmishing, where its cold-weather reliability is a real advantage over green gas, and it is equally enjoyable for target shooting at home or on a range. Check your site’s rules on CO2 pistols and power limits before bringing it to a game, as these vary between sites.

Compatibility
Uses standard 6mm airsoft BBs and CO2 gas. Use good-quality seamless BBs; heavier BBs such as 0.25g often suit higher-pressure CO2 replicas well. Check the magazine and CO2 cartridge type for this model before buying spares, as magazines from other makers may not fit.
Care and maintenance
Put a drop of silicone oil on the tip of each new CO2 cartridge before fitting it; this lubricates the seals and helps prevent leaks. Do not leave an empty or part-used cartridge in the pistol for long periods, and never store the pistol in direct sunlight or a hot car. Keep the metal finish clean and dry, wipe it over after damp games, and give moving parts an occasional light coat of silicone oil. Clean the barrel with a cleaning rod and avoid oil in the hop-up area. Always use seamless BBs to reduce jams.
Who is it for?
For players who want a sturdy, all-metal CO2 sidearm that keeps working in cold weather, and for target shooters and collectors who enjoy a classic .45 pistol with a distinctive blue finish.
Please note: CO2 cartridges and BBs are not included unless stated. Always wear suitable eye protection when using any airsoft replica, and make sure anyone nearby does the same.
