air or spring?

[Fronty Owner]

Which bb and pellet gun do you prefer?

[Mountaineer]

Air is more accurate.
That's the reason why you'll never see a competitive shooter using a spring fired rifle.

Spring is mostly for hunting and all around use.
I mean heck, they have Spring fired ones now that shoot like a 250 grain pellets that they use to hunt buffalo.

I own both.

I have an air powered... fires @ the speed of a 22

Since I am not a "competitive shooter" I use spring. I find it efficiently dispatches small vermin and empty beverage cans. :)

I haven't owned a spring gun except a Daisy Red Ryder, but it has always seemed that Air was better. get a reduced load or a hot load as you need them. I prefer air myself. Other than all that darn pumping.

You just need one with a compressed air tank so you don't have any of that " darn pumping "

Air is significantly more accurate, mostly because of the reduction of moving parts. I've been out of the market for awhile, and when I looked last, there just wasn't an air model that could compete with the spring-piston for velocity. Guess I need to look a little more.
