Read the following article to find out which pistols without a license are the strongest. All the types described below can be found at the Militaria.pl store, where you can buy them legally and without the need for a firearm license.
Pistol without a license in Poland — legal provisions and regulations
In Poland, the issue of possessing firearms, including pistols, is regulated by the weapons and ammunition act. Obtaining a firearm license requires meeting several conditions. Basic requirements include: being over 21 years of age, having a permanent place of residence, positive medical and psychological assessments confirming the ability to possess a weapon, and no criminal record.
However, there are certain types of pistols that can be purchased without a license because they are not considered firearms under the act. Among the strongest are RAM replicas for rubber balls and CO2-powered pistols, such as air rifles or ASG replicas. These are limited power models that, when used responsibly, do not pose a direct threat to health and life (it is worth wearing appropriate protective glasses during shooting). They can be owned without a license, provided their kinetic energy does not exceed 17 J. At Militaria.pl, we only offer models that meet this condition.
RAM pistols for rubber balls
Some of the strongest pistols without a license include RAM (Real Action Marker) models. These are weapon replicas designed to faithfully replicate the appearance, weight, and mechanics of real pistols. They function similar to regular CO2 air rifles - pressing the trigger releases compressed carbon dioxide from a capsule, firing the projectile.
RAM pistols typically shoot at an initial speed of 76 m/s to 110 m/s, depending on the model and type of ammunition used. Their range is generally up to 15 meters, though some models achieve an effective range of up to 20-30 meters. They are used for shooting rubber balls, pepper balls, powder balls, or metal-rubber balls of sizes larger than the pellets used in air rifles or ASG balls. This type of pistols is used in shooting and tactical training by law enforcement, security agencies, and training units. They are also used in entertainment, such as skirmishes and historical reenactments. Due to their ability to fire pepper balls, many people also consider them as self-defense pistols.
One of the most popular RAM pistol models is the Crosman Stronghold P7, designed after the classic Colt 1911 but with several modern features. This model fires 12.7 mm caliber projectiles and is equipped with a R.I.S. rail that allows for the attachment of accessories such as laser or flashlight. Its magazine, located under the barrel, holds seven balls and can be loaded with polymer, powder, pepper, rubber, or mixed rounds. Many users find this model to be very well made, highly accurate, and powerful. It's a great choice for both shooting training and recreational shooting.
CO2 pistols - air rifles and ASG replicas
Without a license, you can also buy short CO2-powered air rifles and ASG replicas that provide great power and performance. Although other propulsion types are available, the gas-powered ones offer the best performance. A significant advantage of CO2 air rifles is the absence of recoil, resulting in better shot accuracy. However, some models are equipped with a blowback system, simulating slide recoil after each shot, adding realism during use.
CO2 air pistols can be equipped with magazines holding multiple pellets, allowing for shooting without reloading. Some models allow the use of an adapter for large 88 g cartridges instead of the standard 12 g ones. CO2 air rifles are some of the most powerful pistols available without a license - they are an excellent choice, especially for shooting training at short distances.
A frequently purchased short CO2 air pistol is the CZ 75 P-07 Duty 4.5 mm. This model is modeled after the original CZ 75 pistol and is powered by a 12 g CO2 capsule located in the pistol grip. The same grip also houses a magazine that holds 20 BB pellets of 4.5 mm caliber. The air rifle is equipped with iron sights and a 22 mm RIS rail under the barrel, allowing for the attachment of a laser pointer or flashlight. According to many reviews, users appreciate its realistic appearance, excellent hand fit, and high accuracy.
We also recommend CO2-powered ASG replicas as an alternative to spring and electric models. These pistols are characterized by high power, translating to significant projectile velocity — making them an excellent choice for those seeking a replica with high shooting power. Usually, these pistols use 12g CO2 cartridges. A key advantage is the semi-automatic mechanism, eliminating the need to manually reload the slide before each shot. Simply load the magazine with a CO2 cartridge and balls, and the pistol will automatically feed the next projectiles with each trigger pull until the ammunition is exhausted.
CO2-powered ASG pistols are available in two main versions: GNB (Gas Non Blow-Back) and GBB (Gas Blow-Back). GNB models don't have a moving slide, ensuring greater projectile speed but at the cost of realistic action. On the other hand, GBB replicas offer much more realistic shooting experiences — their slide moves with each shot and locks back after the magazine is emptied, like real firearms. However, this feature comes with slightly reduced shooting power, as part of the gas energy is used to operate the slide mechanism.
Among the most popular CO2-powered ASG replicas, the CZ SP-01 Shadow GNB model holds a special position. The pistol is equipped with high-quality iron sights — front and rear sight. Notably, it features an innovative fiber optic front sight that significantly enhances aiming comfort in low-light conditions. User safety is ensured by a trigger lock on the left side of the weapon. Users appreciate it for its realistic reproduction of the original, and it is characterized by high efficiency — with one CO2 capsule, you can fire at least four magazines.
