I have pump up and PCP air guns I shoot more than my springers. The springers require the artillery hold to get decent results and are tougher on optics by a good margin, with their recoil.
PCP’s allow faster follow up shots, can be firearm loud though without a moderator, some have lots of shots between fills.
Cant do this with a springer, lots more movement.
A good quality Springer can be very mild. Shoot a Walther LGV and you may not believe how smooth one of these can be. Pnumatics are NOT the same thing as gas ram. Buy a hand pump for a PCP and you can cancel your gym membership.
Two very different groups or classes of air gun shooters. The Springers and the Dark side known as Pcp. I am most definately in the Springer group. Like the recoil, love the natural shooting. PCP is a Country Club that will end up costing you a fortune. Yea, some gun seem to start small, but be prepared to spend a whole lot of money. Nothing wrong with them, but for me, If I want the power of a PCP, I will just buy a 22,cal.
Go to Pyramid air and the difference between a Pneumatic and a PCP and gas ram. The ram is a piston.
By the way, want a cheap gun that is one heck of a lot of fun?. Get this gun when available. Designed after the famous Baikal mdl 60 and 61.These guns had cult like following. I could go on with pages about these little rifles. And they are not just for Youth. Many adults fell in love with them. To actually design one after the Russian Baikal shows how much the desire for one of these are. I have a lot of high end Springers, If this gun made by Americans is anywhere close to the Accuracy of the Russian, then it will be one heck of great buy. Many, Many articles on them over the years.
Russian original
Want another great deal??? The Beeman B17. Another great gun cloned after a gun costing three times as much. This one also had many many atricles etc. I normally do not buy Chinese guns but this one was a exception. I have two them and for years. Still chrony like day one.
BEEMAN PNEUMATIC HANDGUN. $30.00. CRAZY LOW COST.
