air rifle
Pneumatic pellet launcher
An air rifle is a gun that fires pellets or BBs using compressed air or gas rather than explosive propellant.
Air rifles are typically used for target shooting, pest control, and hunting small game, and they're often a young person's introduction to firearms.
They range from low-powered models suitable for backyard plinking to high-velocity versions regulated like conventional firearms in some jurisdictions.
