WellFire G296 12.2" CO2 Swing Out Airsoft Revolver, Black

The WellFire G296C fills a specific niche: a sidearm that feels substantial without being a gas pistol. Revolvers sit between a compact GBB and a spring sniper—slower to reload than a magazine-fed carbine, but they deliver consistent CO2 power and a mechanical simplicity that works in cold weather when green gas struggles.

How the cylinder works. Each of the six shells holds one BB. You load the shells into the swing-out cylinder, close it, and fire. When empty, you swing the cylinder out again and swap all six shells at once. It's slower than dropping a magazine, but the shells are reusable and the whole system is self-contained—no magazine springs to fatigue, no follower issues.

Velocity and field fit. Rated 360 FPS on 0.20g BBs. That clears most outdoor AEG limits and puts you in the safe zone for general skirmish. Indoor fields often cap at 350, so check before you show up with this as your primary. As always, chrono with your own BBs before your first game—CO2 output shifts with temperature.

Internals and upgrade path. The G296 uses proprietary internal parts, which means no off-the-shelf gearbox upgrades. This isn't a platform you tune; it's a platform you run stock. Keeping it reliable comes down to routine cleaning and quality BBs rather than internal overhauls. If you want a gun you can swap gears and springs into, look at a V2 AEG instead.

Externals and handling. Metal frame, outer barrel, and swing-out cylinder with polymer grips. The 12.2-inch overall length makes it a sidearm, not a carbine—fine for backup or CQB, less ideal for open-field skirmishing. The double-action trigger lets you fire without cocking the hammer, though a single-action pull will be crisper.

What you need to buy. CO2 cartridges (12g) and 6mm BBs are not included. Plan on picking up a holster and a shell loader if you're serious about field use.

What this is not for. This is a sidearm platform, not a primary rifle. If you need a gun for trading shots at 150 feet, run a field AEG or DMR instead. The fixed hop-up also means you cannot tune the chamber for heavier BBs; you're working with what's installed.

Includes federally mandated blaze orange muzzle tip.
