Planning to purchase Glock 17 Gen 4 CO2 Air Pistol

Hi,

I'm planning to purchase GLock 17 Gen4 Air Pistol and I have a bit of a question:

1. Can the CO2 cylinders be refilled or is it use and throw?
2. Once the CO2 is put into the gun, how long can I store it? I saw a video that said to take it out after shooting. Say if I shoot 5 BBs, I still have to remove the CO2 cylinder and throw it away?!

1. CO2 cylinder can not be refilled. It's use and throw. You can shoot 40 to 50 bb with one cylinder.

2. It can be stored for quite long. Once a cylinder is put in the handgun, it should not be taken out before it's completely empty. If you take it out, all the gas will escape.

Thank you.

btw, is there any CO2 tank that can be refilled?

Also, how do we dispose of the CO2 tanks safely? Do they buy back?

CO2 cylinder can not be refilled and they don't buy back the empties......
