Air guns have become increasingly popular among shooting enthusiasts, hobbyists, and collectors in India. Whether it’s for target practice, plinking, or professional training, air rifles and pistols provide a safe and affordable way to enjoy shooting sports—without the need for a firearm license (in most cases).
At Airsoft Gun India, we provide a wide range of .177 air rifles, CO₂ pistols, revolvers, and PCP air rifles online in India, trusted by shooters across the country. But before you buy, it’s important to understand how air guns work and what types are legal in India.
How Does an Air Gun Work?
Unlike firearms that use gunpowder, air guns use compressed air or CO₂ gas to propel pellets. The power source determines the type and performance of the air gun. Let’s break it down:
1. Spring-Piston Air Guns
-
Mechanism: A spring is compressed inside the rifle when cocked. Pulling the trigger releases the spring, forcing air behind the pellet.
-
Features: Reliable, simple, affordable.
-
Best for: Beginners who want durability and consistency.
2. Gas Ram / Nitro Piston Air Guns
-
Mechanism: Uses a sealed gas-filled cylinder instead of a spring. When fired, it pushes air behind the pellet.
-
Features: Less recoil, quieter, longer life.
-
Best for: Shooters looking for low maintenance and smooth operation.
3. CO₂ Air Guns
-
Mechanism: Powered by CO₂ cartridges. Each trigger pull releases a burst of CO₂ gas to propel the pellet.
-
Features: Semi-automatic options available, fun for rapid shooting.
-
Best for: Beginners, plinking, and casual practice.
4. PCP (Pre-Charged Pneumatic) Air Rifles
-
Mechanism: Pre-filled air cylinders store compressed air at high pressure. Firing releases controlled bursts of air.
-
Features: Extremely accurate, powerful, suitable for competitive shooting.
-
Best for: Serious shooters and professionals.
