Air Gun Rifles & Pistols

Air gun rifles & pistols are weapons that use compressed air or gas to projectile metal ammunition. The oldest airgun rifles go back to 1580 and are located in a Livrustkammaren Museum in Stockholm. The modern airgun rifle is quite sophisticated and useful for hunters trying to maintain stealth. BSA air rifles are a great example of the modern air rifles that are available today. BSA air rifles are some the best rifles for shooting. The BSA R-10 is one of the top airgun rifles out there on the market. It only weights 3.1 kg and is able to shoot a 177/4.5 mm round at 250 m/sec or a .22/5.5 mm round at 173 m/sec. This rifle is truly a dream for hunters and also has the ability to shoot without a sound due it having such a low speed. Another great rifle is the BSA Air Rifle Scorpion .22. This rifle is a single-shot, bolt-action airgun that features the 'Bolas' handle which makes loading quite efficient.

Other styles of air-compressed weaponry include airgun pistols. Airgun pistols come in a variety of styles from the airgun Desert Eagle Hand Pistol to the Berretta Pistol FS92. The Berreta Pistol FS92 shoots .177 mm pellets a rate of 119.8 meters per second and features a realistic 8 shot repeater clip. Airgun pistols are lightweight, easy to carry, and require only a CO2 cartridge for its power source.

Air gun rifles & pistols have a variety of uses including hunting, small rodent control, plinking, and in competitive sports. In the Olympics, there are two events that use air guns. There is the Olympic 10 m Air Rifle competition and the 10 m Air Pistol competition. Another popular event is Field Target shooting. Competitors shoot and attempt to knock down metal plates in the shape of animals using airguns. Using their airguns, they aim at a designated "kill zone" in the target, which is cut out of the metal silhouettes. A good Olympic rifle is the BSA Air Rifle Scorpion T10 .177 Multi-shot. This Olympic-approved rifle features recoilless barrel and a bolt-action cocking and loading. This rifle also comes with an adjustable trigger and a professional-grade barrel. Air gun rifles & pistols of all kinds and other accessories can be found at online stores such as Allcocks Outdoor Store. They carry a variety of stocks, ammunition, and scopes to customize your airguns.
