    Effective Range Of Modern Co2 Pistols?

    What are you guys getting for accuracy out of modern Co2 pistols, I have a few of the blowback type auto's, and I get 15 - 20 ft. max.

    Thanks

    Blowbacks are not really designed for accuracy. You could hit a can at those sort of ranges. But it's not really what most would call accurate shooting, more plinking, a bit of fun. Nothing wrong with it at all.

    I've been out with my TFW 1911 a few times. Shooting one-handed, I reckon I'd hit a tin can more often than not, at 20 yards.

    Not in this weather.
    Lucky if it even blows back.

    I have a CO2 Tau that will match my Morini (in my hands) at 33 feet.
    Accuracy is not an issue of CO2, however there may be some velocity change affecting POI if you are shooting outside in temps like today.
    Smoothbores, lousy triggers & blowback mech's on the replica's will have more effect than the CO2.
