  2. Air gun - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_gun

    Air guns are used for hunting (small to medium game), pest control, recreational shooting (commonly known as plinking) and competitive sports such as the Olympic 10 m air rifle and 10 m air pistol events. Field target (FT) is a competitive form of metallic silhouette shooting in which the targets are animal-shaped steel targets with a "kill ...

    This mid-size, 2.5-gallon compact compressor has two side-stacked air tanks and a 1.5-hp induction pump motor that goes from zero to 135 psi in just 82 seconds.

  4. Walther LG300 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walther_LG300

    Walther LG300 AluTech PCP match air rifle. The Walther LG300 is a pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) air rifle designed for 10 metre air rifle match shooting. The rifle uses dehumidified compressed air as propellant for the diabolo air gun pellets. This is stored in compressed-air cylinders that have a maximum filling pressure of 300 bar and built-in ...

  5. Compressed air - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_air

    Compressed air is air kept under a pressure that is greater than atmospheric pressure. Compressed air in vehicle tyres and shock absorbers is commonly used for improved traction and reduced vibration. Compressed air is an important medium for transfer of energy in industrial processes, and is used for power tools such as air hammers, drills ...

  6. Compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor

    A compressor is a mechanical device that increases the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume. An air compressor is a specific type of gas compressor. Many compressors can be staged, that is, the gas is compressed several times in steps or stages, to increase discharge pressure.

  7. Air compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_compressor

    Air compressor supplies air into a nail gun.. An air compressor is a machine that takes ambient air from the surroundings and discharges it at a higher pressure. It is an application of a gas compressor and a pneumatic device that converts mechanical power (from an electric motor, diesel or gasoline engine, etc.) into potential energy stored in compressed air, which has many uses.

  8. Pneumatic weapon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumatic_weapon

    The action, or the mechanism by which subsequent rounds are automatically reloaded, must also be powered by the air pressure; that is not a major drawback as pneumatic tools such as the nail gun proves as long as you carry an air tank and compressor around with you. The weapon has to supply or be supplied with a source of very high pressure gas.

  9. Pneumatic motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumatic_motor

    A pneumatic motor (air motor), or compressed-air engine, is a type of motor which does mechanical work by expanding compressed air. Pneumatic motors generally convert the compressed-air energy to mechanical work through either linear or rotary motion. Linear motion can come from either a diaphragm or piston actuator, while rotary motion is ...
