    So I've looked for hours on finding a Co2 powered pistol/bb gun. I am very picky and it would be great if someone could help.... Here is a list of features I would like to have with it

    -Realistic look
    -semi-automatic
    -medium sized
    -blowback
    -400 fps +
    -Enough power to break glass bottles from 20 ft.
    -accurate
    -bb/pellets fed through clip(preferably clip, rotary is fine)
    -room for laser add on
    -Price doesnt matter.!

    Thanks

    The Desert Eagle by Magnum Research claims 425 fps. I don't own one but that's their claim. Hope this helps, it's the only blowback gun I saw that claims that speed.

    If you read the reviews on the Desert Eagle on this site then you'll quickly notice that they're not a very good gun .

    You're better off going for the Walther CP99 Compact - if you're willing to sacrifice accuracy and power that is .

    If you could live without blow - back then opt for the Benjamin Sheridan EB22 ( .22 ) or EB17 ( .177 ) - I have the former and it's never let me down , even after a fair thousand shots .

    That's what held me up. I can name plenty of good co2 guns with good power and good accruacy if I didn't have to worry about the blow back, it's the big limiting factor.
