An air gun is any kind of small arms that propels projectiles by means of compressed air or other gases, which are pressurized via mechanical methods that involves with no chemical reactions, in contrast to explosive propellant of a firearm which involves an exothermic chemical reaction (deflagration). Both the rifle and handgun forms (air rifle and air pistol) typically propel metallic projectiles, either non-spherical pellets, or spherical BBs. Certain types of air guns (usually rifles) may also propel arrows or darts. The first air guns were developed in the 1500s. The guns have been used in hunting, sporting and warfare. Air guns use three types of power, depending on the design: spring-piston, pneumatic and compressed carbon dioxide. Wholesale Hunter Air Rifles for sale at great prices.
