Air pistols, also known as BB guns or pellet guns are economical alternatives to firearms that can be used for target shooting and hunting. Gamo offers a wide selection of air pistols in both compressed air and CO2 that are made to the same high quality standards as our air rifles.
Air gun pistols use atmospheric pressure to fire projectiles. They can be used for target practice, hunting, and self defense. Air gun pistols are a lot easier to use and operate than firearms that require a primer and gunpowder to fire. They’re also very safe as they don’t produce the same amount of energy as actual weapon ammo.
There are several different types of air pistols, the most common being precharged pneumatic (PCP) models that use a tank of compressed air for power. These models can be reloaded with more compressed air via a hand pump which allows for more shots per fill. Another type of air pistol is the piston airgun, which uses an internal cylinder that holds a small amount of compressed air for each shot. These models can be reloaded with air from a bottle and are typically less expensive than a PCP air pistol.
Many of the newer pistols are designed to closely replicate the popular SIG original handgun model platforms. They are engineered for weight and handling, as well as for accuracy. They are a great choice for the beginner shooter who wants to practice with an authentic firearm-like handgun without the cost of a real one. air pistols
