Understanding the Types of Air Pistols Available
Choosing an air pistol from our range depends on your specific needs, experience level, and intended use. Shooters World Gore has three main pistol categories, each with unique benefits and applications suitable for different scenarios.
BB Gun Pistol
A BB gun pistol is a lightweight, affordable entry-level option for beginners and casual target shooters. These pistols typically fire small steel BBs and are perfect for backyard target practice and improving your shooting skills. We stock a reliable range of BB guns that offer excellent value while maintaining the durability Kiwi shooters demand.
Slug Pistol
More serious hunters and precision shooters should consider a slug pistol in NZ, as they offer exceptional accuracy and stopping power. These high-performance air pistols fire lead pellets that deliver maximum impact and are preferred by experienced shooters demanding consistent accuracy. We stock premium slug pistols with models backed by expert knowledge and personalised service.
CO2 Pistol
CO2 pistols, powered by replaceable cartridges, offer consistent power delivery and faster shooting capability than spring-powered alternatives. It’s a great choice for intermediate shooters looking to advance their skills. We sell CO2 air pistols from top manufacturers, with readily available replacement cartridges and accessories to keep your shooting sessions going.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who can purchase air pistols in NZ?
Anyone over 18 can purchase an air pistol in New Zealand. Those aged 16 and 17 can only purchase and possess an air pistol if they hold a New Zealand firearms licence.
Those under 18 without a firearms licence may only use an air pistol under the immediate supervision of a licence holder or someone 18+.
How do I care for and maintain my air pistol?
Proper care and maintenance will keep your air pistol shooting for years. We recommend using appropriate cleaning rods and solvents to clean the barrel after every shooting session. Store your pistol in a dry environment and regularly check for loose components. For CO2 pistols, remove the cartridge during storage to prevent seal damage.
At Shooters World Gore, our gun care range includes everything you need to keep your pistol firing at its best.
How do different air pistol types differ in accuracy?
Accuracy between the types of air pistols varies. Slug pistols offer NZ shooters the highest accuracy potential thanks to their aerodynamic pellet design and rifled barrels. CO2 air pistols offer consistent velocity for reliable groupings at medium ranges, while BB gun pistols are ideal for developing fundamental skills at shorter distances.
