High-quality 12g CO₂ cartridges play a crucial role in modern hunting. Whether you are using an air rifle, paintball marker, or any CO₂-powered hunting device, the consistency and safety of your CO₂ cartridge directly determine your shooting accuracy, reliability, and overall hunting success. While many hunters pay attention to optics, ammunition, and air gun models, few realize that the CO₂ cartridge is the hidden engine that powers every shot.
Many hunters overlook the CO₂ cartridge, but it is the engine behind every shot, controlling pressure, gas flow, and accuracy. Low-quality cartridges can lead to inconsistent velocity and poor performance.
CO₂ cartridges also affect safety, as damaged or poorly made cylinders may leak or rupture. Choosing the right size and quality ensures reliable shooting and lets hunters focus on their game rather than equipment issues.
A consistent CO₂ pressure output determines how stable each shot will be. Low-grade cartridges often produce fluctuating pressure, leading to inconsistent velocities. This inconsistency results in missed targets, poor grouping, and unpredictable performance.
Premium cartridges maintain even pressure from the first shot to the last, ensuring:
Better precision
More predictable trajectories
Improved overall hunting performance
Low-quality CO₂ cylinders typically suffer from:
Rough internal surfaces
Inaccurate gas filling volumes
Weak neck welds
Poor sealing
Higher risk of leakage
Premium CO₂ cartridges undergo high-precision manufacturing, ensuring safety, pressure stability, and long-term storage reliability.
Experienced hunters evaluate cartridges by:
Burst pressure rating
Gas purity level
Temperature performance
Consistency between cartridges
Reputation of the manufacturer
High-quality cartridges maintain consistent internal pressure, ensuring stable muzzle velocity. These cartridges also have excellent gas purity, which avoids blockages and ensures smooth, clean gas flow.
Cold weather reduces internal CO₂ pressure. Premium 12g CO2 cartridges are designed to handle:
Rapid temperature change
Cold climates
High-pressure continuous shooting
This makes them ideal for winter hunting or high-intensity shooting.
Stable gas output
Longer shot count
Reduced wear on your air gun
High-density filling technology ensures you get the maximum number of shots from each cartridge. Hunters using premium 12g CO₂ cartridges often report 10–20% more shots per cylinder compared to low-grade ones.
Top-tier cartridges maintain burst pressures that far exceed industry requirements—reducing explosion risk and ensuring safety.
A cartridge with low burst pressure is dangerous. Premium CO₂ cartridges are engineered with:
Strong alloy steel
Precision welding
Strict gas-filling accuracy
Reliable CO₂ cartridge manufacturers apply:
100% pressure testing
Automated inspection systems
Quality-control sampling on every batch
Visible dents
Rust
Uneven welds
Unusual weight
Loose sealing
Leaving cartridges in a hot car
Reusing partially pierced cartridges
Storing in humid environments
Using expired products
Check for rust or dents
Ensure weight matches specification
Confirm neck weld integrity
Inspect sealing cap
Choosing the right CO₂ cartridge ensures consistent performance, safety, and efficiency during your hunting sessions. Below is a detailed guide for popular cartridge sizes, including their ideal uses and characteristics.
| CO₂ Cartridge Size | Best Use Case | Key Features |
|---|---|---|
| 12g CO₂ | Small air pistols, compact hunting rifles | Easy to carry, consistent short-range power |
| 88g CO₂ | Longer hunting sessions, medium air rifles | Larger gas capacity, stable multiple shots |
| 90g CO₂ | High-powered rifles, semi-automatic hunting guns | Sustained power, precision at medium-long range |
| 95g CO₂ | Extended hunting, intensive shooting sessions | Maximum shot count, high pressure stability |
Keep in a cool, dry location
Avoid direct sunlight
Use airtight containers for long-term storage
Do not shake or drop cartridges
Insert them gently into your air gun
Ensure piercing rods are clean
Weight consistency
Neck weld quality
Surface condition
Expiration date
High-quality CO₂ cartridges leak less, last longer, and ensure full gas utilization, which reduces waste.
Most CO₂ cartridges are made of recyclable steel. Hunters should collect used cylinders and recycle them responsibly.
FAIRDALE and other leading manufacturers are shifting to:
Recyclable paper packaging
Plastic-free boxes
Sustainable labeling
Ensure accuracy and stable fill levels.
Every CO₂ cylinder is tested before packaging.

Bulk packaging Our mission is simple: Provide safe, reliable, high-performance CO₂ cartridges that enhance the hunting experience for users around the world.
CO₂ cartridges can typically be stored for 5–10 years as long as they remain sealed and kept in a cool, dry environment. Proper storage prevents internal corrosion and ensures the gas pressure remains stable. Avoid exposing them to extreme heat or humidity, which can shorten their shelf life.
Yes—CO₂ pressure naturally drops in cold temperatures, which can reduce muzzle velocity. However, high-quality cartridges with purer gas and stronger sealing lose much less pressure compared to low-grade cylinders. Keeping them warm before use can further improve performance in winter.
It is not recommended because once a cartridge is pierced, it cannot be safely resealed. Reusing it increases the risk of gas leakage, unstable pressure output, and unpredictable shot performance. For safety and consistency, always use a fresh cartridge.
Counterfeit cartridges often have inconsistent weights, poor printing quality, or rough welding seams. They may also lack manufacturer identification, batch numbers, or certification marks. When in doubt, purchase from a verified supplier to ensure safety and reliability.
Premium CO₂ cartridges are not just accessories—they are essential tools that directly influence the success, safety, and precision of your hunting experience. By choosing high-quality 12g CO₂ cartridges or other sizes tailored to your equipment, you benefit from:
Superior accuracy
Stable pressure output
Long-term reliability
