    ok some gas guns work differently

    1:CO2 these have a place in the magazine for you to place a capsule which can be bought in bicycle shops, they sell them for tyre inflators.

    2:refillable these have a resevoir in the gun and are filled from litre bottles. as far as i know these can't be bought in ireland but as airsoft grows they should pop up. if you buy one of these buy a few bottles and maybe by the time they are gone you will be able to buy them here.

    Last time i looked at these in a bicycle shop, they were €2-3 each, i buy them online for about €1 each, and even at that, im sure if i shopped around id find them cheaper elsewhere.

    no they cant although you can get pistols that use little 1 use CO2 canisters.
    although the P3 minigun can use refillable canisters


    Hint when using a gas gun no matter what type always leave a bit of gas left in the magazine or gun so that the seals do not dry out and leak the next time you use it.

    This is a wild guess but I think, seeing as he wanted a gas gun 6 years ago, he won't be interested.
