A pellet is a non-spherical projectile designed to be shot from an air gun, and an airgun that shoots such pellets is commonly known as a pellet gun. Air gun pellets differ from bullets and shot used in firearms in terms of the pressures encountered; airguns operate at pressures as low as 50 atmospheres, [1] while firearms operate at thousands ...
The Weihrauch HW 35 is a break barrel, spring-powered, air rifle first produced in 1951 by Weihrauch & Weihrauch located in Mellrichstadt, Bavaria.Available in 4,5 mm and 5,5 mm calibers, with standard and carbine (K) length barrels, it has been in continuous production since its launch, even though the Weihrauch HW 80 superseded it in the late 1990s.
The BSA Meteor is a series of break barrel spring powered rifle first made in Birmingham, UK, in 1959 by The Birmingham Small Arms Company and the first BSA air rifle engineered to fit a telescopic sight. [1] It is one of the worlds best selling air weapons with over 2 million sold worldwide.
The BSA Buccaneer was a break barrel spring powered air rifle first produced in 1977 [1] by the Birmingham Small Arms Company, manufactured in both .177 (4.5 mm) and .22 (5.5 mm) calibers and marketed as an introduction air rifle for younger shooters with a muzzle energy of 5.5 ft•lbf (7.5 J).
The 1377 is not a competition level target airgun, but its long-rifled barrel makes it fairly accurate. [ 1 ] Atypical for modern pneumatic air pistols (which are mostly charged with a single action of a lever-action pump), the 1377 can be pumped to various levels; Crosman recommends at least three pumps to ensure that the pellet clears the ...
It has a caliber of .177 and can shoot up to 645 fps for BBs and 615 for Pellets. Pellets are loaded into a 5-shot clip, while BBs have an 18-shot magazine, which is fed from the 200-shot reservoir. It comes standard with a fiber optic front sight, but can accommodate a scope on the 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) dovetail rail on top of the receiver.
A para-athlete competing with a match air rifle A collection of lever-action, spring-piston air rifles. An air gun or airgun is a gun that uses energy from compressed air or other gases that are mechanically pressurized and then released to propel and accelerate projectiles, similar to the principle of the primitive blowgun.
This is an important consideration in locations where air guns are legally restricted by muzzle energy. Because a .177 pellet is lighter than a larger caliber pellet of similar design, the .177 pellet can be propelled faster and therefore on a flatter trajectory, without exceeding the legal limit on energy
