The most powerful and fastest air rifles are in the PreCharged
Pneumatic (PCP) class of air rifles. Most PCP's
can put a .177 cal pellet down range at well over 1200 FPS, the Air Force Condor fires a .177 at 1450 FPS.

are capable of much larger pellets than normal air rifles. The most powerful springer air rifle fires a .25 caliber pellet at 650 FPS (Hatsan
