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.

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.

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.
