Cost prohibitive
Never put more than one pellet in the barrel of a rifle at any time. Break barrel rifles only hold one pellet for each shot. There are some air rifles that hold several pellets in a clip and are fired one at a time. These rifles are usually have C02 power plants. Break barrel rifles are spring or nitro piston systems.
Yes there are some newer spring air rifles that are capable of being switched to Nitro Piston Gas systems. Check with the manufacture.
A pellet rifle has no firing pin. It also can not fire a bullet or gunpowder. It can not be made to do so either. The pellet has no charge (casing like a bullet) it just a pellet. However pellet rifles can be just as deadly as a real firearm. They use Air or C02 to project the pellet downrange. Some Pellet rifles are used for hunting, others for target practice. The Major difference between a firearm and an air rifle, is Gunpowder is use in Firearms and Air or C02 is used in Air rifles.
Yes. Pellet guns are: Pump action, C02 driven, Spring action. The more powerful ones are called PCP. (Precharged pneumatic. ) They use a Tire pump or scuba tank to charge them. All Air Guns & Air Rifles are driven by Air or C02.
Air rifles can push a lead pellet at or close to the speed of sound. Yes they are lethal, and very accurate.
Canada has strict laws on the power that air rifle springs can produce. So changing the spring would be against the law.
Because new model air rifles come out quite often it is impossible to say who is the most powerful. However the top end of rifles are the PCP model rifles. Various makers manufacture the "Precharged Pneumatic" Rifles. These Rifles exceed the C02 and Spring Rifles in power. The Rifle is charged with a Scuba tank. The Calibers can be found in .177, 20, 22, 25, 45, and 50. Obviously these rifles are more expensive than their counterparts. Several models run into the Thousands of dollars. If you want a powerful spring air rifle look at the "Banjman Super Streak." I am sure that there are others on the market so I would compare the different models for Speed (FPS) Feet per second and pellet size and weight. Several of the new spring rifles can fire a heavy pellet (Lots of knock down power) faster than 1000 FPS.

Only if the rifle is designed for pellets. If it is a "Red Ryder" then the answer is NO. Daisy makes PELLET rifles.
Both are powered by Air or CO2. But a bb gun fires a bb. (.177 caliber) BB guns and Rifles traditionally have smooth bore barrels. Air Rifles (I assume you are asking about Pellet firing air rifles) fire .177 pellets usually through a "rifled bore barrel" giving the pellet more spin and causing it to travel straighter. Pellet Air Rifles come in .177 cal, but also come in 20, 22, 25, 45 and 50 Caliber pellets. They tend to be more powerful than the bb rifles. Crosman, Daisy Beeman and RWS are just a few of the air gun makers who make bb guns and Pellet Air Rifles.
Yes they come in both airsoft and pellet format. See the link Below for Spring Pellet pistols and Airsoft pistols
no those are airguns. .22 bullet rifles are used in the Olympics --------------------correct answer:----------------- .177 caliber air rifles are used in the Olympics. These are high quality match air rifles.
