First lets clear something up. Most people equate Speed with Power, and that is a mistake. Any air rifle can fire a pellet very fast all you have to do is use a lighter pellet. Unfortunately lighter pellets are more effected by crosswind than heaver pellets that fly slower but straighter and have more knockdown power.
Now when you say "Pneumatic" do you mean multi pump pneumatic like the Benjamin models or do you mean PreCharged Pneumatic (PCP) like the AirForce Condor. Multi pump pneumatics's will generally be less powerful than a high powered Springer. But PCP will be much stronger than a High powered springer because PCP's are charged to 3000 PSI and are capable of firing pellets up to 50 Caliber. Where as high powered springer's very rarely get above a .22 cal pellet.

Is an air rifle more powerful than co2 rifle?
Yes. Pump, Spring and PCP (PreCharged Pneumatic) are all more powerful than a C02 system
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 is a spring powered air rifle?
A spring powered system uses a spring that is inside an air tube. The spring is attached to a piston. When the rifle is cocked the spring and piston are drawn back and locked at one end of the air tube. The other end of the air tube has a small hole that is directly behind the pellet and rifle barrel. When the trigger is pulled the spring is released and it pushes the piston down the air tube forcing all the air through the hole, and that fires the pellet down the barrel.

Yes it can but getting the current rifle "Tuned" by an expert will get you better results. Tuning will make the spring and trigger perform better.

What is a spring-powered air rifle?
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.
Why doesnt my air rifle fire the pellet how do i fix the problem?
How old is the rifle, Is it spring powered, or C02 powered or PCP. If you don't know what you are doing you can damage it more. I would look up on the net under "Air Gun repair" and have a professional repair it if it is not under warrenty.
Cost of high powered air gun?
This all depends on what you are looking for. A good air rifle will cost on the average $150 or more, but a competition air rifle will cost into the thousands. I own a few PCP air rifles. (PreCharged Pneumatic) that cost around $400 to $1200. These are the most powerful class of air rifles. They are charged with a scuba tank to 3000 PSI. The average consumer can expect to spend around $250 for a good air rifle or air gun.
