Spring Piston

Spring piston air rifles are the type of air gun that most people are familiar with. They’re the easiest to shoot and maintain. And break-barrel rifles are what most shooters get started with. Break-barrels are common, but you’ll also find spring-piston rifles that are cocked by an underlever, side-lever or a top-lever.

Spring-piston rifles are highly durable, but the springs do wear out in time.
