All air rifles operate on the same principle: pressurized gas (usually air, but sometimes CO2) is introduced into the barrel behind a projectile, and the pressurized gas drives the pellet, slug or BB down the barrel and out the airgun muzzle.
There are several different air pistol powerplants, and the key differences are the ways in which the pressurized gas is stored and delivered. Each powerplant has its advantages and disadvantages and can meet the needs of different types of shooters.
Pellets are generally wasp-waisted cylinders made of lead or non-lead alloys and provide the highest accuracy in the rifled barrels of adult precision air rifles and air pistols. Pellets of various calibers are available in flat-nose, round-nose, pointed, and hollow-point configurations.
Telescopic sights magnify the target and make it easier for the shooter to precisely place the shot. Because of their unique whiplash recoil, spring-piston and gas ram airguns require an airgun-rated scope. By contrast, PCP, pump-up, and CO2 powered airguns do not require an airgun rated scope.
It is highly desirable that the scope mount includes an anti-recoil pin to prevent the scope from sliding off the back of the scope rail. Adjustable and “drooper” scope mounts are also available to allow proper mounting of scopes on airguns that include barrel droop as part of their design.
A wide variety of accessories are available for air rifles and air pistols.
