Single-shot air rifle
A single-shot rifle verschießt, as other single shot -Waffen individually supplied to the system projectiles such as pellets .
Single-shot air rifles are manufactured in various system designs:
- Spring-loaded systems (the compressed air is generated by a pretensioned spring when it is pushed through a compressed air piston)
- Swivel barrel systems (the spring is tensioned by means of a corresponding mechanism on the barrel that swivels to the side)
- Kipplaufsysteme (The spring is tensioned by means of a corresponding mechanism on the downward tilting barrel, Haenel 300) or Haenel 303
- Rigid systems with swing lever clamps (side lever clamps, Haenel 312 ) or FWB 300
- Rigid systems with lever clamps (Weihrauch HW77)
- Rigid systems with repeating lever (similar to a bolt handle, Haenel 311)
- Systems with pre-compressed air (highly compressed air is supplied by means of a cartridge)
- Gas-powered systems (compressed gases, mostly CO 2 , are supplied by means of a cartridge)
What is common to all systems is that the bullet to be fired must be fed into the system individually. With precise air rifles and especially with match air rifles, which usually fire selected pellets, the bullet is inserted into the system by hand and, with rigid systems, fed through the locking device. With tilt and swivel barrel systems, the bullet is inserted directly into a recess at the rear end of the barrel. A well-known single-shot air rifle is the Weihrauch HW 30 M / II .
