Frequently asked questions about the pellet gun

How does the air gun work ?

The air gun is a single-shot weapon that uses a piston or spring trigger to propel the ammunition. It must therefore be reloaded before each shot. To do this, the barrel must be bent to compress the air in the chamber and thus release the lead.

How do the CO2 pistol and revolver work ?

Unlike the air pistol, these two weapons are semi-automatic (or even full-automatic). They do not use a piston or spring to propel the pellet, but a CO2 capsule that is inserted directly into the barrel. Thanks to this system, the guns can fire several shots in a row without reloading, and for some, in bursts (full-auto mode) until the magazine or the cylinder is empty. When the CO2 cylinder runs out, it is simply replaced.

What does the legislation say about the pellet gun ?

In France, the pellet gun has a power of less than 20 joules. It is therefore freely available for sale to people of legal age. All that is required is to present one's identity card when purchasing.

The legislation is the same for all category D weapons (pellet rifle, pellet revolver, etc.). They are sold freely up to 20 joules. Beyond that, various documents must be provided to obtain them (shooting licence or hunting permit).

What type of lead for my gun ?

The pellet gun is generally available in two calibres: 4.5 or 5.5 millimetres. The ammunition used for loading must therefore have the same diameter. Depending on the model, the pistol can be loaded with round steel pellets (= BB pellets) or with diabolo pellets.

Diabolos are the most common type of ammunition. They are shaped like an hourglass and resemble the diabolo used in juggling. The upper part of diabolo pellets is called the head and the lower part is called the skirt. There are several variations of the head, which can be pointed, hollowed, flat, rounded, etc. Each variety has a specific use: hollowed head for maximum kinetic energy, round head for greater depth of penetration, etc. Always thin and flared, the skirt is made of a deformable and flexible material. It is pressed against the walls of the barrel and ensures that the gun is watertight when fired.

What is the most powerful pellet gun ?

At the Jean Pierre Fusil gun shop, the most powerful model is the Umarex RP5 CO2 pistol. It has a power of 11 joules and a calibre of 5.5 millimetres. Although it is semi-automatic with a 5-shot magazine, it can be used as a single-shot pistol (like an air pistol).

Questions fréquentes

This category mainly includes two types of pellet guns: those that operate with compressed air and those that use CO2. Both are suitable for use by hobbyists or more experienced shooters. An example of a product is the X brand pellet gun, which uses compressed air and offers impressive performance.
When buying a pellet gun, several factors need to be considered. This includes the type of mechanism (compressed air or CO2), power (expressed in joules), weight, size, construction material, and brand. For instance, the Y brand pellet gun is known for its robustness and reliability.
An air gun and a CO2 revolver have different operating mechanisms. The air gun uses air pressure to propel the pellet, while the CO2 revolver uses CO2 cartridges. It is important to compare their performances, cost of use, ease of maintenance, and lifespan. For example, brand Z's CO2 revolver is renowned for its excellent autonomy.
Using a pellet gun requires specific technique. It is important to hold the gun properly, align the sight and the target accurately, and gently press the trigger. Moreover, it is essential to respect safety rules, notably never to point the gun towards a person and to always keep it in a safe place. For instance, the pellet gun of brand W comes with a detailed user manual.
Pellet guns have several advantages. They are generally more affordable than traditional firearms, do not require a permit for their purchase and use, and are ideal for recreational shooting or shooting training. However, they also have some disadvantages, including lower power than firearms and the need for regular maintenance. For instance, the brand V pellet gun is appreciated for its ease of use, but requires regular maintenance to ensure its performance.
