To get a real increase in velocity from a gas or pneumatic airgun, you need a LONGER BARREL. Increasing only the gas flow adds a small fractional velocity boost. But, you can’t easily put a longer barrel on the 1077, because the receiver that holds the barrel is plastic.

How does a spring loaded BB gun work?
In this sort of gun, the “pump” lever pushes back on a small piston, which compresses a spring behind it. With the piston unlatched, the spring can expand out, pushing the piston forward. This quickly compresses the air in the chamber behind the BB, building up the pressure needed to propel it down the barrel.
How does a Nitro piston air rifle work?
A nitro piston air gun is a spring gun without the spring. Instead of using a coiled spring as the power plant, it uses a nitrogen-filled cylinder. When that happens, the pressurized air expands and propels the piston forward. The piston, in turn, comes abruptly at the air transferred port.
What is a spring piston air rifle?
A spring piston, also known as a springer air rifle or spring pellet gun, has a self-contained coiled spring that propels a projectile when fired. Here at Airgun Depot, we carry a wide selection of the most popular and accurate spring piston rifles for sale.

In short, yes…but it’s not that bad. The amount of pain you may feel will depend on a lot of factors, such as your pain tolerance, distance, clothing, weight of the BB, power of the airsoft gun, and more. A shot to the fingers is especially painful, so many players opt for armored gloves.

What propels a BB gun?
The last common type of power for BB guns is compressed gas, most commonly the Powerlet cartridges. The powerlet is a disposable metal gas cylinder containing 12 grams (190 gr) of compressed carbon dioxide, with a self-contained valve to release the CO2 which expands to propel the BB.
Can spring powered airsoft guns be automatic?
You can change a spring-powered airsoft gun from a single-shot weapon into an automatic that will let you fire many times more quickly by disabling the slide mechanism so that the gun continually loads and fires. You need a hardware tool and less than a half-hour of your time.
How does CO2 pistol work?
Compressed Carbon Dioxide As the shooter pulls the trigger, it opens the valve on the cylinder, which lets some of the gas escape into the barrel. Because carbon dioxide cools as it expands, rapidly firing many shots in succession causes the gun to cool significantly.
