Frequently Asked Questions

Are you allowed to carry a gas pistol in South Africa?

Airguns, by law, still count as firearms if used in a crime and can't be fired in public areas. Airguns may be carried on one's person concealed/openly. It is an offence to shoot animals and human beings, except criminals and animals who are attacking you, as defined in Chapter 16 of the FCA.

In South Africa, you can own a gas gun (airgun) legally, but the rules depend on its power. If it’s 5.6mm (.22) or bigger and shoots with more than 8 joules of energy, it’s treated like a firearm — meaning you’ll need a licence. Smaller, less powerful airguns don’t need a licence, but you still can’t use them recklessly, wave them around in public, or damage property. 

What is the range of a gas pistol?

Unlike a regular handgun, a gas pistol is made for self-defense without using live ammunition. It looks and feels like a real handgun, but instead fires blanks or tear gas rounds.Effective range is up to 4.5 metres depending on caliber.

How does a gas pistol work?

These gas guns use an internal canister (usually within the magazine) that upon trigger-pull releases the prefilled bottled gas via a series of valves to propel the pellet and generate a blowback, which simulates recoil and cyclically loads the next shot. They are capable of both automatic and semi-automatic operation.

What does blowback mean on an air pistol?

Blowback refers to the slide, or in some cases the bolt of the air gun that moves back and forth with each shot. The slide or bolt is moved rearwards in a blowback airgun by CO2 or green gas, depending on your airgun's power system. This blowback motion simulates the recoil of a firearm.

What is a gas pistol used for?

Gas pistols are non-lethal handguns designed mainly for protection. They’re usually built to closely resemble real firearms and can fire either blanks or tear gas cartridges. Effective range is up to 4.5 metres depending on caliber.

What does a gas gun shoot?

These guns run on compressed gas, such as CO₂, which propels non-lethal projectiles. Many people also call them gas pistols.

What is the difference between a gas gun and a firearm?

Blank guns are all noise — they sound like the real thing but don’t fire a shot. Gas guns are different; they use CO₂ or similar gas to send out non-lethal rounds with enough punch to make someone think twice.

Are gas guns powerful?

Gas pistols tend to shoot faster than electric ones, which can make a difference when you need accuracy over longer distances.

Is a gas gun good for self-defense?

The gas pistol is used for self-defense - it can scare the attacker off or hurt them.

What bullets does a gas gun use?

Gas Guns use BBs and Pellets as ammunition.
