A PCP (PerCharged Pneumatic) air gun is the high end and the most powerful of all airguns. These guns and rifles require a special hand pump or Scuba tank to charge them to 2000 to 3000 PSI. To give you and idea, a regular C02 powerlett holds around 800 PSI. The PCP class of air guns are capable of firing all sizes of pellets. They do not shoot BB's. The Pellets come in .177, .20, .22, .25, 9mm, 357mm, 45 cal and 50 cal. the larger sizes are primarily used for large game hunting. You will find the smaller size PCP are used for target practice and in "Olympic Target" shooting. These guns and rifles start around $350 and go up to several thousand. The gun has a reservoir that holds the air and will give between 20 and 30 shots per fill. Some use air and some use C02 as a power source. These air guns are deadly accurate. See the link below.
