| has gloss | eng: A Powerlet® cartridge is a small disposable metal container holding 12 grams of liquid CO2 and often a small quantity of oil, used as a power source for certain air guns, paintball markers, and a few airsoft guns. Originally developed and the trademark owned by Crosman Corporation and introduced to the market in 1954, the Powerlet® CO2 cartridge has become the dominant source of power for inexpensive, rapid fire air guns from many manufacturers. The Powerlet® container typically lasts between 20 and 40 shots depending on the gun and environmental conditions. You normally get about 10 average shots from a new bottle, then every shot after that becomes less powerful. For paintball markers, you can expect around 20-40 shots because of the increased weight of the paintball compared to an airgun projectile. |
