Swiss Arms SA92 Non-Blowback Metal Pistol (CO2 Powered – Cybergun – 288028)
The Swiss Arms SA92 is a CO2-powered, non-blowback pistol from Cybergun’s Swiss Arms range, built with metal construction and styled on the classic 92-pattern service pistol. It is a solid, economical pistol that makes an ideal choice for target shooting, plinking and getting started with CO2.
Swiss Arms is Cybergun’s long-running brand for CO2 pistols and rifles, and its replicas are known for straightforward, robust designs that are easy to own. The SA92 takes one of the most recognisable pistol shapes in the world and turns it into a simple, reliable shooter.
How it works
A non-blowback pistol has a fixed slide, so none of the gas is used to cycle the action. Instead, practically all of it goes into propelling the BB, which makes the pistol very economical: you get a good number of shots from each CO2 capsule, and the shots are consistent from one to the next.
With no moving slide there is also less to wear, less to lubricate and less to go wrong, which makes a non-blowback CO2 pistol a simple, dependable choice for target shooting and plinking, and a straightforward pistol to learn on.
Design and handling
The 92-pattern shape is large and comfortable in the hand, with a grip that points naturally and a long sight radius that helps with accurate aimed shots. The metal construction gives the pistol a reassuring weight and a realistic feel, and helps steady your aim.
Because the 92 is such a popular design, the SA92 feels familiar to anyone who has handled one before, and its controls are easy to learn for newcomers.
Getting the best from it
CO2 performance is affected by temperature: on a warm day you will get lively, consistent shots, while in cold weather pressure drops and you may see fewer shots per capsule. Shoot at a steady pace rather than rapid strings, which chill the gas, and keep spare capsules at room temperature until you need them.
Set up a proper target with a safe backstop, start at a short distance and work back as you get used to the sights. Shooting from a steady, two-handed stance and squeezing the trigger smoothly will tighten your groups far more than any upgrade.

Compatibility
Use only the CO2 capsules and magazines designed for this model, and BBs of the type and size specified for the pistol; check the product images and packaging, or ask us, before buying spares. Holsters made for the full-size pistol this replica is styled on will often fit, but check the fit before relying on one in a game.
Care and maintenance
Put a drop of silicone oil on the tip of each new CO2 capsule before piercing it; this helps keep the seals in the pistol supple and gas-tight. Do not leave an empty or part-used capsule in the pistol for long periods; remove it once you have finished shooting, and store the pistol somewhere cool and dry, out of direct sunlight.
Wipe the metal surfaces with a lightly oiled cloth after use to keep the finish in good condition, and keep BBs clean and dry. Never point the pistol at anyone without suitable eye and face protection, and always treat it as if it were loaded.
Who is it for?
This pistol suits anyone looking for an economical, easy-to-run CO2 pistol for target shooting and plinking, and players who want a straightforward, dependable sidearm without the maintenance of a blowback pistol.
Please note: CO2 is not included. Always wear suitable eye protection when shooting, and use a proper target and backstop.
