Air rifles are versatile guns that use compressed air or gas to propel projectiles, offering a quieter and more economical alternative to traditional firearms.

At its core, an air rifle compresses air and then releases it rapidly behind a projectile. This compress air pushes the projectile through the barrel and down the range. The firing process happens in milliseconds. With the air pushing the pellet at high speeds.

When the trigger is pull, it opens a valve that releases the compress air. The sudden burst of air accelerates the pellet . Sending it down range. The consistency and power of the shot depend on the air pressure and the specific mechanisms of the air rifle.

Here are the basic types of air rifles:

Pump: Single-stroke or multi-pump air rifles use an integrate pump to fill the air chamber that pushes the projectile through the barrel and out to the target.
Spring Piston: A spring is compress . And an air chamber fills when the gun is cock. When the trigger is pull . The spring pushes a piston that forces the air through the barrel . Hurling the pellet toward the target. Pellet Guns For Small Game

Gas Piston: A chamber of gas (often nitrogen) is compress upon cocking rather than a spring . Which is release with the trigger pull to push the piston.
PCP: Pre-charged pneumatic air rifles have a bottle of compressed air (around 3000psi or more) that attaches to the trigger mechanism. A valve releases some compressed air funneled into the barrel to propel the projectile. Pellet Guns For Small Game
CO2: Carbon dioxide is compress into a cylinder load into the gun so the trigger can actuate a valve to release a small amount of CO2 to propel the projectile.
