Site-safe power in a single shell

The ASG Dan Wesson Power Down Cartridges let you take a hard-hitting CO2 revolver and drop it straight into skirmish-legal territory. Each shell restricts the gas flow internally, cutting muzzle energy by more than 50 percent to around 1 joule, so your revolver comfortably clears the sub 340 FPS limit most UK sites enforce on a 0.20g BB.

No modification, no compromise

Unlike internal downgrades, these cartridges do all the work themselves. There is nothing to strip, shim or replace inside the gun. Load the power down shells for the field, swap back to standard cartridges for the range, and your Dan Wesson stays completely original throughout.

Genuine ASG quality

These are official ASG parts, machined to the exact tolerances of the Dan Wesson 6mm platform for reliable feeding and a crisp, realistic reload. The gold finish makes them easy to tell apart from your full-power shells at a glance.

What you get

Supplied as a box of 25 gold cartridges, each holding a single 6mm BB. They suit the ASG Dan Wesson 6mm CO2 revolver range such as the 715 models, but are not compatible with the ASG Schofield. Browse our full range of airsoft accessories to complete your loadout.

Frequently asked questions

What do power down cartridges actually do?

They restrict the flow of CO2 through each shell, cutting the muzzle energy of your Dan Wesson revolver by more than 50 percent. That typically brings it down to around 1 joule, low enough for most UK skirmish site limits, without touching the gun itself.

Which revolvers do these fit?

They are designed for the ASG Dan Wesson 6mm CO2 revolver range, including the popular 715 models. They are not compatible with the ASG Schofield revolver.

How many BBs does each cartridge hold?

Each cartridge holds a single 6mm BB, just like a real cartridge. The box contains 25 shells so you can keep several loaded and ready during a game.

Will these get my revolver under my site limit?

In most cases yes. A stock Dan Wesson can run well over 340 FPS, and these cartridges drop it below that on a 0.20g BB. Always chrono your revolver on arrival, as final readings vary with gas, temperature and BB weight.

Do I need to modify my revolver to use them?

No. The power reduction is built into the shells, so you simply load them as normal. Your revolver stays completely standard and you can switch back to full power cartridges any time.
