What is a Pump Air Rifle?

A pump air rifle is a rifle using a built-in manual pumping mechanism that compresses air into an internal reservoir. These rifles are the most traditional and user-friendly of the air rifle powerplants and are often used for youth air guns.

How Does a Pump Air Rifle Work?

The shooter operates a lever, usually beneath the barrel, to manually compress air into an internal chamber. Each pump stroke forces more air into the reservoir, increasing the pressure unless it's a single-stroke pump pneumatic. Single strokes only require one pump, and any successive pumps will empty and refill the chamber because that chamber can only hold one pump.

Once the desired number of pumps is reached, a pellet is loaded into the breech, and the rifle is cocked. Pulling the trigger opens the valve, releasing the air from the chamber behind the pellet. This burst of air pushes the pellet down the barrel and then toward the target.

Single-stroke air rifle models require just one pump to achieve maximum power. These have a simpler operation and provide consistent power with each shot.

Multi-pump air rifle models allow the shooter to vary the power by changing the number of pumps. Most multi-pumps use 3-10 pumps, with each additional pump increasing the pressure. For a low-power shot, use 3-5 pumps. For a high-powered shot, use 8-10 pumps.

Why Should I Choose a Pump Air Rifle?

Pump air rifles offer shooters many advantages, such as affordability, air independence, lightweight design, and low maintenance use.

One of the best advantages of multi-pump air rifles is the ability to control the power by varying the number of pumps. All pump air rifles offer shooters air independence. Unlike PCPs that require external air sources, pump air rifles are completely self-contained with no need for air tanks, compressors, or CO2 cartridges.

Pump air rifles typically have less complex designs, which allows them to be lighter in weight than other types of air rifles, making them easy to carry in the field. The simpler mechanisms also mean that there are fewer things that can go wrong or break, which results in lower maintenance requirements.

Pump air rifles provide a shooting experience that combines simplicity, versatility, and air independence. Their self-contained nature, adjustable power, and straightforward operation make them excellent choices for both beginners and experienced shooters.

Which is Better a BB or Multi Pump Pellet Gun?

For experienced shooters, you might prefer to purchase a multi pump pellet gun if you want something that is powerful enough. Then again, pump bb guns are more widely available and inexpensive. BB pump air guns are also a great option for younger shooters. Pellets tend to be more accurate, but the ammo is a little more expensive.

You can find pump action and multi pump pellet rifles in a variety of calibers, but you will find most pump bb guns come in .177 because of affordability. This pump is used to pump up the air reservoir which will allow for more shots to be fired before needing to cock the gun again. Pump air rifles also come in a variety of styles that resemble shotguns, military style weapons, and standard hunting rifles.

When you purchase your pump air gun from Pyramyd AIR, it is important that you know exactly what to pump and how much air pressure pump bb guns require for each of the recommended pellets or bbs that are compatible with pump action rifles.
