They're usually your basic piston pump. There's a pipe that makes up the main body of the pump, and in this pipe there's a plunger connected by a rod to the handle. The plunger is equipped with an one-way seal that lets air past when the handle is pulled up and then forces air out the nozzle when the handle is pushed in.

Why pumps not used to pump the gases?

That's not strictly true. Gases are pumped by using pumps such as piston pumps and vane pumps. A garage compressor has the air pumped into the tank by a piston pump. Even a bicycle pump is often used. however, when gases are "pumped" it by definition becomes a compressor. pumps move basically un-compressible fluids. low pressure gas transfer is termed a blower, while higher pressure usage requires a compressor.
