It has a chamber that stores air, until released, that propels a projectile down the bore.
The intake valve opens to allow the fresh charge of air and fuel into the combustion chamber then closes to seal the chamber during compression.
The rifle will fire without a pellet, but over time it will ruin the air chamber and air piston inside the chamber. When you pull the trigger the air piston slides forward inside the air chamber compressing the air behind the pellet. At the last moment it actually slows down as the pressure builds and fires the pellet. Without a pellet in the loading port the piston has no resistance and just slams against the stop. This will eventually ruin the rifle.
The compression ratio of an internal-combustion engine, or an IC engine as it is more commonly called, is the ratio of the volume the highest capacity of the combustion chamber to its lowest capacity. In the IC engine, the piston makes a stroke, resulting in the compression of the air in the combustion chamber - the ratio between the volume of the cylinder and combustion chamber when the piston is at the bottom of its stroke, and the volume of the combustion chamber when the piston is at the top of its stroke, is the compression ratio.
Four simple steps. Induction - brings air and gas to cylinder, compression - pressurises the air and the gas, combustion- ignites the air and the gas creating power, and exhaust - releases fumes. all this happens in the cylinders.
A double-acting compressor has two compression chambers that operate simultaneously. During each cycle, one chamber compresses air while the other chamber prepares to compress air. This design increases efficiency and allows for continuous compression without downtime.
the air chamber in a KTM 2T is for back compression in the moter . without back compression the moter will not work couse the back compression efects the giro of the motor so the piston will not go up and down

It's usually on the left side of the loading chamber or barrel.
a light aluminum piston is attached to the spindle of the instrument and is arranged to move in a fixed air chamber closed at one end which is may be circular or rectangular. compression and suction action of piston on the air in chamber damp the possible oscillation of the deflecting element.
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.
During the compression stroke in an internal combustion engine, the piston moves upward, compressing the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber. This compression increases the pressure and temperature of the mixture, preparing it for ignition.
