I have a FWB C25. the Co2 bottle is screwed on in a vertical position just in front of the trigger guard.

Trigger is as good as any other top grade match pistol although they are all different from one make or model to another in some way or other, so down to personal preference really.

As for the pistol itself, well it's a FWB so pretty bullet proof & should give years of trouble free service.

Accuracy is as good as anything else out there so a moot point.

Indoor shooting in varying temperature conditions does not cause great problems either.

The C25 can be converted to compressed air if so desired as can some other Co2 pistols.......it's not cheap & if this is in mind buy a P34 instead, but if you've owned the gun for a while then it's a worth while consideration, but it can be done & easily.

Thanks wonky donky. It would be supplied with a bulk cylinder, where do you get these filled and what is the cost ?

It will depend on who's or what bulk cylinder you have.

BOC & Companies who fill Fire extinguishers are a good start, as are pub land lords.

I use a FIRE EXTINGUISHER, these have a tube inside so they can be used upright.

I also have a bottle used in pubs for the beer, some of these do not have the tube inside so need to be inverted to fill your pistols bottle.

The bulk cylinders once full last for ages.....years even if a decent size.

I can't tell you the cost as it's been too long since I had mine filled, sorry!

Sorry wrong thread

The last time my 14 lb bottle was filled at the local pub gas fill station it cost £8.80, that was about 4 years ago.
I too have a FWB C25, when I started with it I used Soda Stream co2, I think I got about 5 fills for a £1, the 14 lb bottle will see me through to the end of my shooting lifetime, I cannot get to my pistols at the moment and I do not remember how many grams of co2 are needed to fill it so say 50 grams, I can get a lot of fills out of my £8.80.
Why pay a lot of money for a C/A conversion when you will get very little benefit from it.

Thanks Peter, I had no idea it went such a long way, I am looking forward to getting my hands on a FWB C25. Did you buy it new ?
