Gas pistol

A gas pistol is a toy gun that shoots tiny plastic bullets using a gas like propane or CO2. Imagine your water gun but instead of water, it sprays tiny plastic balls.

The gun has a small canister inside where the gas is stored, and when you pull the trigger, a valve opens and the gas rushes out. This forces a plastic bullet out of the barrel of the gun at a high speed.

These gas pistols are often used for playing games like airsoft, where players shoot at each other with these toy guns in a safe and supervised environment. Remember to always use proper safety gear when playing with these toys!
