Frequently asked questions

What are air guns and how do they work?

Air guns are weapons that use a spring or plunger mechanism to fire lead shot. These pistols have a rifled barrel that improves shooting accuracy.
How it works: By activating the spring or plunger mechanism, the air is compressed in a chamber. When fired, this compressed air is released, propelling the pellet through the rifled barrel and toward the target.

What are the advantages of compressed air guns compared to CO2 guns?

Immediate Availability: Air guns do not require CO2 capsules, so they are always ready for use without the need for additional refills.
Greater Accuracy: These guns usually have a longer barrel than CO2 guns, which improves shooting accuracy.
Choice of Caliber: Air guns allow you to choose larger calibers, such as 5.5 mm, which are not available in CO2 guns.
Simplicity and Maintenance: They are simpler to maintain and use, since they do not need any additional accessories such as CO2 capsules.

Considerations when choosing a spring gun

Caliber: Spring guns are mainly available in 4.5 mm and 5.5 mm calibers. The 4.5mm caliber is more common and has a greater variety of ammunition options, while the 5.5mm packs more punch.
Intended Use: Defines whether the gun will be used for sports shooting, plinking (casual shooting), or pest control. This will influence the choice of model and the necessary features.
Speed ​​and Power: Check the exit speed of the pellet and the power of the gun. Speeds usually vary between 100 and 215 m/s.
Ergonomics and Weight: Consider the weight and design of the gun to ensure it is comfortable to handle and shoot.
Scope Compatibility: Some pistols come with rails for mounting additional scopes or sights, which can improve accuracy and the shooting experience.
Spring-loaded guns offer a simple and effective solution for sports and recreational shooting. Featuring high-quality models from renowned brands such as Gamo, Cometa, Diana and Hatsan, these pistols provide precision, ease of use and a satisfying shooting experience. When choosing a spring gun, consider caliber, intended use, speed and power, ergonomics, and scope compatibility to ensure you find the best option for your needs.

What are the differences between spring and plunger guns?

Propulsion Mechanism:

Spring Guns:
They operate using a spring that is compressed when the gun is cocked.
When fired, the spring is released and pushes a piston forward, compressing the air and propelling the shot.
Plunger Guns:
Inert Gas Model: They use a cylinder filled with compressed gas (usually nitrogen) instead of a spring. When the gun is cocked, the gas is compressed inside the cylinder. When fired, the compressed gas expands, moving the piston and propelling the pellet.
Pneumatic Plunger Model: Like the Gamo PR-45, they work by compressing air inside a chamber through a plunger. When cocking the gun, air is compressed in the chamber and when firing, the compressed air is released, propelling the shot.
Power and Consistency:

Spring Guns:
Power may vary slightly over time due to spring wear.
They generally offer adequate power for most recreational and sporting uses.
Plunger Guns:
Inert Gas: They provide more consistent and stable power over time, since there is no spring that can wear out.
Pneumatic: Like the Gamo PR-45, they offer consistent power and are known for their precision and stability with every shot.
Recoil and Shooting Smoothness:

Spring Guns:
They tend to have greater recoil due to spring release.
The shot may feel rougher compared to plunger guns.
Plunger Guns:
Inert Gas: They offer a smoother shot with less recoil, which can improve the accuracy and comfort of the shooter.
Pneumatic: Like the Gamo PR-45, they have a smooth and controlled shot, with minimal recoil.
Maintenance and Durability:

Spring Guns:
They require regular maintenance to ensure that the spring and other components are in good condition.
Over time, the spring can lose tension and reduce the power of the gun.
Plunger Guns:
Inert Gas: They require less maintenance, since the gas system is more resistant to wear.
Tire: Like the Gamo PR-45, they require minimal maintenance and are very durable, maintaining constant power for longer.
Cost:

Spring Guns:
They are generally cheaper compared to plunger guns.
They are a great option for beginner shooters and those on a budget.
Plunger Guns:
Inert Gas: They tend to be more expensive due to compressed gas technology.
Tire: Models like the Gamo PR-45 have an intermediate price, offering an excellent balance between cost and performance.
Conclusion
Choosing between a spring gun and a plunger gun depends on your personal needs and preferences. Spring guns are inexpensive and effective for most recreational uses, while plunger guns (either inert gas or pneumatic) offer greater consistency, durability, and a smoother shooting experience. Models like the Gamo PR-45 are an excellent option for those looking for precision and reliability with minimal maintenance. Consider these factors when deciding which type of airsoft gun is best for you.

The first online purchase I made at this gun shop is worthy of framing with an unbeatable impression. I ordered several models of pellets… and the truth is that they arrived like a bullet. They didn't even take 18 hours! I received the order in perfect packaging, which made it easier to preserve during transport. A single box of pellets arrived with them quite dirty, as if there was little turnover of that item, but nothing out of the ordinary and that can't be solved by cleaning them before firing them. In short, excellent service and good product. They have gained a repeat customer.
