An item designed for launching projectiles using compressed air, often employed in target practice, pest control, or small game hunting. These devices offer a relatively quiet and affordable alternative to firearms, allowing for recreational shooting and regulated hunting activities.
The advantages of such equipment include reduced noise levels compared to conventional firearms, making them suitable for use in populated areas where firearm discharge is restricted. Historically, these have been used for both sport and practical purposes, evolving from simple designs to sophisticated, high-powered models. They require careful handling and adherence to safety regulations.
