Cost prohibitive
It is not a spring at all, it is a replacement for a spring. When installed your spring will be removed from the gun and be replaced with a Gas Shock. The firing cycle, sound, and feel is much more solid. Im a huge advocate of gas rams over springs and feel it should be thestandard for all new age air rifles. Springs are old technology. My 2.
It a depends on what you mean by "Charged" C02 is the least powerful. Usually less than Spring power. Pump is the next most powerful but is still less than most spring powered rifles. PCP (PreCharged Pneumatic) is the most powerful, it's way beyond spring power. PCP's are usually charged to 3000 PSI and capable to fire a 50 caliber pellet. Gas charged piston rifles are about the same as spring powered rifles
Uses the gas from the burning propellant
Yes, because a gas gun dosent have a spring
no
All pellet guns use compressed air or gas. 1. Spring piston: Cocking the barrel of the rifle compresses the spring and piston inside the rifle or gun that is located in an air cylinder. When you pull the trigger it releases the spring and as the spring shoots forward, it pushes compressed air ahead if it that forces the pellet out the barrel. 2. Co2: A Co2 bottle it inserted into the gun or rifle, and it is full of compressed Co2. When you pull the trigger a burst of Co2 gas is released and the gas pushes the pellet out the barrel. This same idea is used for the larger PCP rifles only they use a much higher pressure bottle. 3. Pump: When you pump the forearm of the rifle it stores air in an air chamber. When you pull the trigger all the air is released behind the pellet forcing it out the barrel. BB guns work the same way.
A spring, an electric motor or by compressed gas.
In a gas there there is no spring, it is more like a real gun but with gas instead. In battery/electric there is a spring but It resets itself after every round unlike a spring pistol where you have to cock it every time.
No it does not.
An air-soft gun that is powered by CO2 or green or red gas instead of a spring or a battery.
Yep- there are airsoft versions of the Mauser 98K, licensed by Mauser- gas and spring versions. Google search for Mauser 98 airsoft. Hobbytron has a spring version for $119.
