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.
But that's just speed, Lets talk power.
PCP's
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
model 95). Consider this a PCP
"Sam Yang" .50 caliber "Dragon Claw" fires the .50 caliber (A slug as large as your thumb) downrange at 679 FPS and this will bring down a deer or Boar.
A simple Benjamin pneumatic model 397 fires a .177 pellet at 800 FPS. Of all the simple pneumatics this is one of the fastest in .177 caliber
pump-charged gun
BB guns usually top out at around 550 to 600 FPS. But pellet rifles can attain a speed of over 1600 FPS, when shot by a PCP (PreCharged Pneumatic) rifle system.

Fastest in what way? Bullet that travels fastest? That would be a pistol chambered for a very fast rifle cartridge, such as the 22-250, .204 Ruger, or .220 Swift. Fastest firing? Pistol version of the American 180 submachine gun- it fires .22 long rifle ammo at rates of nearly 3000 shots per minute.
