Types of Air Guns
The market is divided into three main mechanisms: PCP (pre-charged pneumatic), CO2 (cartridges/bottles) and Spring / Gas Ram. Each type has its advantages: PCPs for consistent power and long autonomy, CO2 for quick and easy use, and spring models for mechanical simplicity and durability.
PCP- For demanding shooters
PCP rifles stand out for their accuracy, shot-to-shot consistency and adjustability. In this category we feature leading manufacturers such as Daystate, FX Airguns, Airforce, Snowpeak and Diana. You will also find PCP filling bottles, hand pumps, compressors and spare parts to cover every maintenance or upgrade need.
CO2 - Easy, instant and realistic
CO2 pistols and rifles are ideal for indoor shooting, recreational practice and realistic replicas. CO2 cartridges provide steady power for dozens of shots with minimal technical requirements. You will also find CO2 submachine guns for more fun and realism.
Spring / Gas Ram — Simplicity and reliability
Spring and Gas Ram models are easy to operate, require low maintenance and offer stable performance. They are suitable for beginners and for shooters who prefer mechanical reliability without external filling equipment.
Pellets, Calibers & Performance
Choosing the right ammunition is just as important as choosing the gun itself. The most popular calibers are 4.5mm (.177) and 5.5mm (.22), while larger options (6.35mm, 7.62mm, 9mm) are also available for specific needs. Diabolo pellets are the gold standard for precision, slugs offer more penetration, while BBs serve special training uses. Our catalog includes pellets categorized by use: target shooting, plinking, pest control and competition.
Accessories & Support Gear
The right accessories turn a good air gun into a complete training and shooting system:
- PCP filling bottles & adaptors
- Hand pumps and electric compressors
- Magazines, speedloaders and consumables
- Scopes, suppressors (where permitted), bipods and mounts
- Cleaning kits, lubricants and spare parts
All accessories are chosen for safety and compatibility with the most popular models on the market.
How to Choose - Practical Tips
Think about your main use: target shooting, recreational use, pest control or collecting. Check availability of pellets and spare parts, consider weight and ergonomics, scope mounting options and whether you want CO2, spring or PCP filling. For beginners, CO2 or spring models are often recommended, while serious shooters usually prefer PCPs from trusted brands.
