No. it uses a Spring or a nitro piston (similar to a spring.) Spring power plants are more powerful than C02 systems in most cases. The downside to spring systems is you have to cock and re-load after each shot. C02 allows you to get 50 or more shots per charge. The downside to C02 is they are less powerful than spring and you have to purchase additional C02 powerletts when you run out. With a Spring system you never have to purchase anything besides pellets or BB's.

What else can I help you with?
Does the crosman break barrel rifle take co2?
No: break barrel rifles are designed to use a "Spring or Nito Gas" piston. C02 doesn't require a break barrel design. BUT Spring designed are much stronger than C02 systems
How does a pellet gun work?
All pellet guns use compressed air or gas. 1. Spring piston: Cocking the barrel of the rifle compresses the spring and piston inside the rifle or gun that is located in an air cylinder. When you pull the trigger it releases the spring and as the spring shoots forward, it pushes compressed air ahead if it that forces the pellet out the barrel. 2. Co2: A Co2 bottle it inserted into the gun or rifle, and it is full of compressed Co2. When you pull the trigger a burst of Co2 gas is released and the gas pushes the pellet out the barrel. This same idea is used for the larger PCP rifles only they use a much higher pressure bottle. 3. Pump: When you pump the forearm of the rifle it stores air in an air chamber. When you pull the trigger all the air is released behind the pellet forcing it out the barrel. BB guns work the same way.
Do you need a licence to own a CO2 air rifle?
Do you mean an air Rifle? NO, Not in the United States.
Can you use nitrogen insted of co2 in a air rifle?
yes it will not exsplode
How many shots in a 12grams CO2 capsule for air rifle?
It all depends on the individual air rifle. I can average between 50 to 80 depending on the rifle I'm using.
Maximum range of air rifle?
You will have to provide the caliber and whether it is pump or CO2 powered.
What air rifle manufacture produced an air rifle that was a multi-pump and co2 combined?
From 1990-1996 Daisy made the model 990 that was multi-pump and C02.
What type of co2 air rifle has long firing range?
The C02 air rifle that has the longest firing range is the PCP (PerCharged Pneumatic) class of air rifles. These include rifles like the AirForce Condor, Benjamin Marauder and the Benjamin Discovery. But these are expensive air/C02 rifles. They DO NOT use the 12 gram powerletts but require an expensive support system. The next strongest class of air rifles are the Under lever, Break barrel or spring/Nitro air rifles.

For a paintball rifle is CO2 better than compressed air?
No compressed air would be better for accuracy as well as your gun. Its like co2 but at a higher pressure with cleaner air and no liquid that can damage your paintball marker.
Do you need a licence to buy a co2 powered air rifle?
It all depends on the country and location where you live
Is it okay to dryfire an air rifle?
If you are asking about a "springer firing system" The answer is NO do not dryfire it. When you shoot a single cock springer rifle or gun with a pellet in the chamber, there is a moment where the piston actually slows down just before the pellet is fired down the barrel. If you have no pellet in the chamber the piston slams against the end of the chamber and this will eventually ruin the chamber. Dry firing a Co2 gun will not hurt it. You will just waist Co2.
How do you install co2 cartridge in crosman air rifle?
It all depends on the model you are asking about. I suggest that you go to the link I have below and locate the owners manual for your air rifle.
