PCP stands for ( PreCharged Pneumatic ) These are air guns and rifles that use a pump or Scuba tank to charge them and fire the pellet. They come in several different calibers, starting with .177, .20, .22, 9mm, 45 Cal and 50 Caliber. The larger ones are capable of bringing down a deer or other large game. These are the Big Boys of air rifles and guns. The cost usually starts around $300 and goes up from there. It is not uncommon to spend over $3000 for one of these that is used in Olympic competition. Some are even modified to use a large C02 tank as a power source. See the link below to see some of these rifles.

Can you use oxygen in a pre charged air rifle?
yes you can ---------------------- New Answer--------------- Only if the PCP rifle is designed for it. Most PCP's use Air but some are capable of using C02. Don't ever use or mix C02 and Air in the same tank. The tank must be emptied first before changing over to a new charging system (If it's designed for it.) The Marauder is one such PCP rifle that can use either. The Air Force Condor can use either but has a separate tank for air or C02.

How PCP air rifles work?
PCP ( PerCharged Pneumatic) airguns and rifles work very similar to a C02 gun. The major difference is the driving force. A C02 rifle produced several hundred pounds of pressure that drives the pellet, the normal C02 cylinder is small. The PCP rifle uses C02 or Air and is built with a large high pressure chamber inside the rifle, sometimes it's a large bottle. This chamber is charged to between 2000 and 3000 PSI with a pump or scuba tank. This extreme pressure fires the pellet at a very high velocity and because of the extreme pressure it can fire larger pellets than a normal .177 air rifle. Some PCP's models can fire a 50 Caliber pellet and bring down a deer or moose. In truth this class of air rifles (PCP's) are the same as real rifles
