"System" refers to the mechanism used to power the air rifle. In our collection, we offer 4 types of system: spring, PCP, CO2 and Gas Ram. Spring: Uses a coiled spring and a piston. Cocking the rifle compresses the spring, and pulling the trigger releases it. The spring decompresses, pushes the piston forward and fires the pellet out of the barrel. Precharged Pneumatic (PCP): These have a cylinder with highly pressurised air, usually around 200-250 bar. They're filled using hand pumps, air tanks, or compressors. PCP rifles are known for low recoil, but they come with a higher cost than spring powered. CO2: These work in a similar way to PCP air rifles, except, they use CO2 cartridges instead of compressed air. When you fire, a burst of CO2 pushes the pellet out. Gas Ram: Also known as gas piston rifles, these are similar to springers and require manual cocking before each shot. Instead of a coiled spring, they use a gas-filled cylinder (like a car boot strut) to compress the air. They’re smoother to cock than spring rifles, offering the same traditional feel with less effort. Each system affects power, feel, and running cost - so choose the one that fits your needs and budget.
