PreCharges Pneumatic are the most powerful class of air guns. They only shoot pellets. Some are capable of shooting very large pellets up to .50 caliber that can bring down large game like an Elk. These rifles are also used in Olympic games. It is not unusual to spend over $1000 for a match grade PCP rifle. They require a special compressor, Hand pump or Scuba tank to charge them up to 3000 PSI. A normal C02 powerlett hold about 800 PSI to give you an idea of how powerful they are. .I own several of them and take them to a range to fire them. These are not back yard air guns. These are very serious air guns.
