Is there an impact on hitting your target accurately when your shot (bullet, pellet or bb) breaks the sound barrier? Because sound waves travel faster in liquids and solids than air, and objects travel faster in air than in liquids or solids, the only substance where the... (posted by John 1 year 102 days ago.)

Which to Own, Spring-Piston, CO2 or Pneumatic Air guns?

All air powered guns fire a BB, Pellet or Bullet by using a pressurized column of air or gas to propel the shot through the barrel and out the gun muzzle. The way in which the pressurized column of air/gas is obtained varies with each type of gun. There are some variations within each type of gun, but there are 3 basic operating characteristics. There are pros and cons for each. Which should I own?... (posted by John 1 year 106 days ago.)

Air Verses Powder Guns

Air powered guns operate with either pneumatic, spring or CO2 (gas) driven pressure while powder guns operate with the explosive force caused by igniting powder. The mechanism of the air gun is more complex than powder guns, and there are pros and cons of both types of guns. First a brief history of both air and powder guns. Air guns have been in existence for thousands of years, dating back to the uncertain beginning of the... (posted by John 1 year 122 days ago.)
