With the above in mind I would also like it to be quite efficient on C02 cartridges, I have heard that a single cartridge can last between 30-200 shots. If I would like more shots per cart. I should steer well clear of gas blow back pistols.

I'm not entirely against a single shot pistol but something with 8-10~ shots per clip/revolver would be nice.

I would like to use it for target shooting so something as accurate as possible for the money.

With the above considered is there any particular models which come to mind, do you think i'm being realistic considering my budget?

Can anyone give any guide lines for how many shots per CO2 cartridge I can expect for a few different styles/typical designs?


Thanks in advance

Mark
I've been through this myself recently and have bought both pellet and blowback BB pistols. Either can be used for target
shooting. Some will obviously perform better than others.
Your budget will get you one of the decent blowback pistols and if you go secondhand I'd consider Umarex's Walther CP88, Beretta 92FS, or Colt 1911A1 all 8 shot pellet firers and all serviceable with good spares backup.
