When you cock the rifle it compresses the gas behind a piston just like a spring. Basically it replaces the spring.

How do change the air cannon in a BB gun?
Because of the small design of a BB gun it is not possible to change the air system. However if it's a pellet springer rifle, not a BB rifle, then in some cases it is possible to change it with a Nitro piston system. But this should be done by a professional air gun service. A nitro system replaces the spring piston with a gas piston tube. It usually cost around $130.

How does your nirto piston air rifle use nitrogen as its propellent what is the process of how it loads itself?
The nitro piston replaces the spring piston. It's simply gas that is compressed inside a cylinder instead of a spring. You can compress gas. So each time you compress the nitro it acts like a compressed spring. you don't have to add more nitro each time you shoot it stays in the cylinder. Gas is more even as it expands so you get a steady thrust when the rifle is fired. A spring uncoils, giving an uneven thrust as it is released.

Is the Benjamin elite powermaster nitro a good air rifle?
After doing some research I discovered some unusual facts about the Benjamin Elite air rifle. Apparently it is made specifically for Dicks Sporting goods by Crosman air gun company (Crosman owns Benjamin and Sheridan). In truth It is a Benjamin Superstreak with a nitro piston powerplant instead of the original spring power plant. I own a Superstreak. First of all it is a powerful rifle. The Super streak came out in 2007 in a .177 and a .22 Caliber rifle but very quickly the .177 went out of production and the .22 Caliber ceased a few years later. Now it appears on the Dicks sporting goods page with a Nitro piston power plant. Like I said it is a huge rifle and I would not recommend it for a small person. I'm 6' tall and I find it to be a heavy rifle. It is a beautiful rifle (Made in China). Is it a good rifle, Yes!----- Is it an Excellent rifle?,--- well after lugging it around, I find I like a slightly lighter rifle to shoot with.The Dicks add calls it an Airsoft rifle. IT IS NOT A AIRSOFT RIFLE it is a pellet rifle, a very deadly pellet rifle.
