The Daisy Powerline 5501 delivers reliable semi-automatic BB shooting performance with CO2-powered consistency for training and recreational shooting. This .177 caliber pistol combines realistic handling characteristics with the convenience of drop-in CO2 cartridges and high-capacity magazines.
What Makes This Different
The 5501 features a dual-tone metal construction with a silver aluminum frame and black polymer slide, providing durability while keeping weight manageable. The integrated Picatinny rail system allows for immediate accessory mounting without modifications. Unlike single-shot models, the 15+1 capacity magazine enables extended shooting sessions with minimal reloading interruptions.

The smooth bore barrel design optimizes BB trajectory while the CO2 system maintains consistent velocity across temperature ranges typical of indoor and outdoor use.
