I don't know of any single pump pneumatic BB rifles. however there are single pump Pneumatic pistols like the Beeman P-2 and P-3. Basically they work the same as a multy pump pistol except they only require one pump to store enough air to fire the pellet.

You may be confusing a Single pump Pneumatic, with a Single cock Springer BB rifle, that require that it only be cocked once. When they are cocked they compress a spring and piston inside the air chamber (within the rifle). When you pull the trigger the spring is released forcing stored air out of the air tube, behind the pellet, and this fires the pellet out of the barrel.

Now there are PreCharged Pneumatic (PCP) air rifles but they are in a class way above BB rifles and pistols. You have to use a Scuba tank, Special compressor or special hand pump to charge them to 2000 to 3000 PSI.

I suggest you read the information on my profile called "Air Gunning" to get a better understanding of Air gun firing systems. See the link below.

What is the Most expensive pellet rifle?

The most expensive air rifles fall into the Olympic competition class of air rifles like the makers of "Anschutz" rifles. These are the PCP class rifles (Precharged Pneumatic Guns) they use a scuba tank to charge the rifle. The cost can exceed $2,500. They are not normally for the home user. They are designed for Olympic shooting. There are some less expensive PCP rifles for the average user like the ones made by "Webley & Scott" that retail around $900. Most any PCP rifle or gun is going to be expensive. Plus you have to incur the price of the scuba tank or pump to charge it, this can cost around an additional $300. Unless you want to use a hand pump and that will require a lot of back work. Crosman has just introduced a low-end PCP rifle in their "Benjamin" line of air rifles.
