Post by: RedRiderF26 on February 20, 2014, 07:08:52 PM

I know there are pump rifles and break barrel rifles. What are the other types of air rifles and how do they work? Id like to know more cuz until a few weeks ago I didnt know any other types existed.

I put together a little explanatory sheet for my neighbor who's interested in airguns.  It's attached.
