Read the platform's power-source requirement before buying cartridges, tanks or fill equipment. CO2, air and PCP are category labels, not complete specifications for a connection or supply.
For a cartridge system
Note the model and the approved cartridge specification, including any brand or version restriction. Byrna's 8g and 12g cylinder guidance illustrates why size is model-specific; it does not replace another product's manual.
For a fillable system
A fillable airgun needs an approved filling arrangement. Benjamin provides separate manuals for airguns, charging equipment and adapters. A workshop compressor, similar fitting or existing tank is not automatically suitable.
Put the requirements together
- Exact platform and manual revision
- Approved gas or air source
- Manufacturer-confirmed cartridge or support-equipment identifier
- Condition, inspection and service requirements
- Support contact for an unanswered detail
Stop where the answer is missing
Ask the manufacturer about an unconfirmed connection or support item before ordering. Do not make adapters, alter valves or experiment with unsupported gases or settings.
After purchase
Keep labels and manuals with the equipment. Follow storage, inspection and service guidance, using the exact manual and qualified support for filling, pressure-system service and repairs.
