Can you replace a nitro piston with a spring?
The Nitro piston is superior to the spring piston in design, but Yes, it can be converted back to a spring in most cases. It is best to have it done by an "air gun smith."
Is nitro piston less maintenance than the spring?
It's about the same. Nitro will just perform a little better. No spring to wear out. The Nitro piston guns have a sealed strut in place of a spring, there's no maintenance required.
How does a nitro piston air rifle work?
When you cock the rifle it compresses the gas behind a piston just like a spring. Basically it replaces the spring.
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 nitro piston better than spring action in air rifle?
Nitro has a few advantages over Spring. You can leave it cocked for a long period of time and not worry that it will loose it 's power. You have a more even release force with nitro ( A spring wobbles). There is not a spring to break or get soft over time. The power will always be consistent.
Can you change spring to gas in air rifles?
Yes there are some newer spring air rifles that are capable of being switched to Nitro Piston Gas systems. Check with the manufacture.

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.
Do nitro pellet guns kick like the spring pellet guns?
Actually air guns have very little kick. Nitro is about the same as spring. Nitro has the advantage over spring in that it has no "spring wobble" when fired and it can be left "cocked" for a long period of time without damage to the system.Actually air guns have very little kick.

Does a break barrel air rifle us co2?
No. it uses a Spring or a nitro piston (similar to a spring.) Spring power plants are more powerful than C02 systems in most cases. The downside to spring systems is you have to cock and re-load after each shot. C02 allows you to get 50 or more shots per charge. The downside to C02 is they are less powerful than spring and you have to purchase additional C02 powerletts when you run out. With a Spring system you never have to purchase anything besides pellets or BB's.If you want to understand power systems used in Air Guns/Rifles then read the attached link below. It's part of my profile, read the section on "Air Gunning".
