What is a carbine air rifle?

An air rifle is a rilfe that uses compressed air to launch a pellet, rather than an explosive charge to launch a bullet. <><><><><> A Carbine has nothing to do with rifling. It's a short barrel air rifle or a pistol that has a rifle butt-stock attached to it. In a since it's a cross between a pistol and a rifle. They fire the same ammo as a full size air rifle but are not as accurate. They are used because they are lighter in weight and good in close quarters.

How do you load a slavia 622 air rifle?

The Slavia 622 is a .22 caliber pellet rifle not a .177 caliber rifle. It is a single shot Break barrel rifle. The rifle is a spring piston shooting system. To load and cock the barrel you simply push the barrel down (Break the barrel) all the way until you feel it cock. Load a .22 caliber pellet into the rear of the barrel (Breech) and make sure it's snug flush with the barrel. Load it with the skirt facing out and the dome in the barrel. Then bring the barrel back up into position and let it snap into place. AIM FIRE!
