While it varies somewhat from one design to another, they all use compressed air (or another gas) to push the pellet out of the barrel at high speed. Some have a piston that is pushed by a spring, compressing the air and releasing it at the end of the stroke. Some use an air pump that compresses air into a tank, and releases the air when the trigger is pulled.
