Many people misunderstand power verses speed. Lightweight pellets can obtain incredible speed well over 1200 FPS, but that doesn't equate to power. The larger the pellet the slower the speed, but it will have more knockdown impact and will fly straighter than a lightweight pellet that is more effected by crosswind. At present the most powerful air rifle is a 50 caliber PCP like the SAM YANG Dragon Claw or any 50 caliber PCP. See the link below. It is more common to find a .25 Caliber like the Marauder or Condor with a .25 cal barrel. Benjamin even makes a new 357 caliber for hunting.

Is a charged or spring air rifle more powerful?

It a depends on what you mean by "Charged" C02 is the least powerful. Usually less than Spring power. Pump is the next most powerful but is still less than most spring powered rifles. PCP (PreCharged Pneumatic) is the most powerful, it's way beyond spring power. PCP's are usually charged to 3000 PSI and capable to fire a 50 caliber pellet. Gas charged piston rifles are about the same as spring powered rifles


What the most powerful PCP air rifle in .177 calber?

There is no single (Most powerful ) pcp air rifle. It comes down to your definition of power. Do you mean speed or knock-down power. Light pellets fly faster. But heavier pellets fly straighter and have harder hitting and knock down power. So any PCP that fires a .177 pellet can select a variety of pellets that fit the users needs. I own 4 different PCP air guns. All of them take a charge of 3000 PSI all 4 of them have a different use and fill a different need when shooting.its very confusing but i would say the Beemanr9 found this on the firing lines forum .com

What is the best and the most powerful air rifle you can get for under 200gbp?

I think you have to identify your definition of power. Do you mean speed or knockdown power? A .177 caliber pellet will travel faster than a .22 caliber pellet but a .22 pellet will have more knockdown power. With 200 GDP ($324) you should be able to find what you are looking for. I suggest you look at the web site below and read the owner reviews. Then you will have more information about your selection.( See the related link below)If this rifle is avalable in the UK then this one has the most power I've seen in an air rifle that is not a PCP class rifle. Its the "Benjamin Trail NP XL 725" its a 25 caliber Nitro piston air rifle.


Can you use oxygen in a pre charged air rifle?

yes you can ---------------------- New Answer--------------- Only if the PCP rifle is designed for it. Most PCP's use Air but some are capable of using C02. Don't ever use or mix C02 and Air in the same tank. The tank must be emptied first before changing over to a new charging system (If it's designed for it.) The Marauder is one such PCP rifle that can use either. The Air Force Condor can use either but has a separate tank for air or C02.


How does a bb gun work?

BB guns have 3 different power plants. Spring, C02 and Pump. 1. Spring power: When the rifle or gun is cocked a spring is compressed inside a piston and released when the trigger is pulled. The piston pushes air ahead of it forcing the BB to fly out the barrel. 2. C02: C02 gas is contained in a cylinder. when the trigger is pulled a burst of C02 gas is released and forces the BB out the barre 3. Pump: When the rifle is pumped using the forearm, air is stored in a cylinder inside the rifle. when the trigger is pulled the air is released forcing the BB out the barrel. There is one more power plant but it is used in High power air rifles and guns only and that's PCP. Air is introduced into the rifle with a scuba tank taking the pressure up to 3000 PSI and is used to power the rifle for several shots.
