Crosman claims a pellet velocity of up to 600 ft/s (180 m/s) from a gun pumped ten times, which is higher than that achieved by most pellet pistols of any kind. Many 1377 owners report success with only a few pumps, and the lower velocity is accompanied by lower noise, often an advantage for those shooting indoors.
The Walther CP 88 is a sport and training pistol that shoots pellets using compressed CO 2 according to the principle of an air gun.

The gun is charged with a single stroke of an underlever cocking arm. Unlike guns intended only for plinking, several features of competition guns such as the IZh-46M mark it as designed for high-precision shooting. For instance, the IZH-46M's rear sight can be adjusted for windage/elevation, and the trigger is adjustable for position, travel ...
A para-athlete competing with a match air rifle A collection of lever-action, spring-piston air rifles.

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 ...
