Best Air Guns in Pakistan

Air guns can be used for many purposes. You can use pellet rifles for hunting or kids can learn firearm safety before stepping up to the real thing. Air guns also work as a pest-control tool. There is something on the market for every kind of user. Their prices vary greatly ranging from affordable to those that can break the bank. Before choosing which air rifle to buy, there are several things you need to know about air rifles to make sure you get the best deal.

Types of Air Rifles

Air guns use only the pressurized air as a power source instead of powder burning which is a lot less powerful, safer and legal in many countries. There are five different types of air guns based on the mechanisms they use to produce pressurized air. There is Variable Pump, Spring Power, Gas Piston, Compressed air and Compressed CO2. All these types of rifles are equally accurate but have different speed and recoil.  

The rifles with compressed air mechanism have little recoil and the pellet gets fired immediately. They have regulators which improve their consistency and accuracy. The recoil of a springer rifle is as much as a real gun and the pellet takes a little time to come out of the barrel. Compressed air rifles are more popular especially among the newbies but the springers are much more fun as they give an experience similar to a full bore rifle.

The rifles with compressed CO2 mechanism lie in the middle of the Springer and the compressed air one; it is faster than a compressed air rifle but slower than a springer. Generally, compressed air rifles are better built than compressed Co2 ones.

The air rifles with variable pumps are the most difficult to master. The power with which you pump the rifle determines the power of the shot.

Which Caliber to Pick?

As many of you know that caliber determines the size of the bullet. The bigger the animal, the bigger the caliber you are going to need to take it down. The .177 calibers are long-range, the most accurate and the fastest calibers. They are suitable for hunting small birds like pigeons and rats. 

.25 and .22 are more powerful calibers but they have less speed and range. They are used for hunting rabbits.
