3 different ways.
1. by using a spring piston that you cock manually
2. injecting the air or C02 from a pump or tank

What is an air rifle?
An air rifle fires a projectile (usually a BB) using compressed air instead of an explosive charge.
How does a spring air rifle work?
When the rifle is cocked, a spring is compressed. Pulling the trigger releases the spring, which pushes a piston forward, The piston compresses air as it moves. The compressed air blows the BB or pellet out of the barrel.
For a paintball rifle is CO2 better than compressed air?
No compressed air would be better for accuracy as well as your gun. Its like co2 but at a higher pressure with cleaner air and no liquid that can damage your paintball marker.
What will happen to a pellet gun if you dryfire it?
Most spring Pellet guns should not be dry-fired. When you shoot a spring powered air gun or rifle, the spring compresses the air in the airtube and the compressed air forces the pellet out of the barrel. The compressed air also slows down the spring piston due to the air being compressed. In this way the piston doesn't slam against the end of the chamber. When you dry-fire the rifle without a pellet in the breech the piston has no resistance in the chamber and slams against the end of the airtube. Eventually it will ruin the air tube and the rifle or gun. If you dry-fire a C02 gun nothing will happen no damage will occur.
What is the study of compressed air?
compressed air science
Which categories is usage of compressed air and gas divided into?
The three major categories of usage for compressed air and gas are: compressed air and gas for process services, compressed air for power, and compressed air for general industrial applications.
What is the purpose of a compressed air dryer?
A compressed air dryer is used to remove water vapor from compressed air. Compressed air dryers are used mostly in commercial and industrial facilities.
What do compressed air dryers do?
A compressed air dryer is a device for removing water vapor from compressed air. Compressed air dryers are commonly found in a wide range of industrial and commercial facilities.
Is a air rifle or BB gun a fire gun?
Air rifles use compressed air or C02 to propel the BB or pellet. They do not use gunpowder. Their is no bullet shell and bullet just the BB or pellet.
What is a carbine air rifle?
A carbine resembles a rifle, but has a smooth barrel while the rifle has a grooved barrel. The grooved barrel gives a rifle greater accuracy, but a lower muzzle velocity. An air rifle is a rilfe that uses compressed air to launch a pellet, rather than an explosive charge to launch a bullet. <><><><><> A Carbine has nothing to do with rifling. It's a short barrel air rifle or a pistol that has a rifle butt-stock attached to it. In a since it's a cross between a pistol and a rifle. They fire the same ammo as a full size air rifle but are not as accurate. They are used because they are lighter in weight and good in close quarters.
How does pneumatic air gun work?
it works with compressed air
Where is the compressed air chamber in a airgun rifle?
In a break barrel and pump rifle it located directly behind the barrel in a large tube. Rifles that use C02 usually hold the C02 bottle under the barrel.
