Airguns, often used for recreation, sport, and pest control, operate on compressed air to propel pellets or BBs. They come in various types, including spring-piston, gas-piston, and CO2-powered, offering diverse shooting experiences. While primarily used for target practice, airguns also serve as effective tools for small game hunting. Important considerations include caliber, velocity, and safety measures, making them versatile and accessible alternatives to traditional firearms. Understanding local regulations and responsible usage ensures a positive and enjoyable experience with airguns.
