There are some pistols that are meant to use both (like the KJW Xcelerator) and some gas guns that can be modded to use CO2 (this usually requires reinforcement of all parts involved in the gas system and sometimes even the slide because of the higher power of CO2), but most gas guns can't handle it. I would recommend buying a gun that comes able to do both out of the box, because modding one is a pain, but it is nice to be able to use either one (use a gas mag at close range and switch to CO2 if you are shooting further).
Their are 4 common types of air rifle power plants. Spring power: or Nitrogen piston power. this uses a large spring inside an air piston tube; When the barrel is cocked (Commonly called a break barrel rifle) the spring is pushed back in the piston chamber and locks. A pellet or BB is loaded. When the trigger is pulled it releases the spring, forcing the piston forward in the air piston chamber, Compressed air fires the pellet out the barrel. C02: a C02 cartridge is loaded into the rifle and acts as a small air chamber releasing some C02 each time the trigger is fired. Eventually the C02 is used up and has to be replaced. Pump power. simply you pump the forearm on the rifle and it fills an air tank. When you have enough compressed air you fire the rifle PCP: Pre Charge Pneumatic: This is a large air tank inside the rifle. It is charged with a bicycle pump or scuba tank. It's like an oversized C02 tank inside the rifle. Again each time the trigger is pulled the tank releases a burst of air behind the pellet to fire it out of the barrel. This type of air rifle is usually a very high-powered rifle.
No it does not.
A tank can do far more damage than any rifle.
The first anti-tank came out when the first tank was fielded, in WW1. It was a bolt action rifle.
Are you asking how do you swap and air tank on an air rifle, or swap for and air rifle? In most air rifles you put it on safe and swap out the tank by unscrewing it and replacing it.
M40 106mm recoilless rifle.
14.5x114mm
Shut off the gas let the tank cool THEN get a soft cleaning agent such as soft scrub or Fantastic , clean soft cloth and carefully clean the out side of the tank
3 different ways. 1. by using a spring piston that you cock manually 2. injecting the air or C02 from a pump or tank 3. Using a hand pump under the barrel
Probably the Russian built PTRD-1941 anti tank rifle in 14.5 mm.
Yes it is possible. An air soft gun will not kill you but a pellet rifle is capable if killing a person. Pellet rifles come in several calibers. .177, .20, .22, .25, 9mm, 45 cal and 50 cal. The last 3 calibers are fired from a PCP pellet rifle. This rifle (PCP) uses a scuba tank to charge the rifle with 3000 psi of air. All of these pellets are capable of injury or death.
Your talking about a PCP (PreCharged Pneumatic) Class rifle. There are very few manufactures of these rifles. At present the "Sam Yang" is the only model that I know of that makes a .50 cal but there may be more. Sam Yang makes the .50 caliber Dragon claw in single and dual tank models. Remember it's not only the rifle but you need a special hand pump or Scuba tank or electric pump to fill the air tanks. You can not use a regular "Air Compressor" to fill the tank. See the link below for the rifle. "Pyramyd air" also sells the pellets for this rifle along with several other PCP rifles.
