A spring powered system uses a spring that is inside an air tube. The spring is attached to a piston. When the rifle is cocked the spring and piston are drawn back and locked at one end of the air tube. The other end of the air tube has a small hole that is directly behind the pellet and rifle barrel.
When the trigger is pulled the spring is released and it pushes the piston down the air tube forcing all the air through the hole, and that fires the pellet down the barrel.

How old is the rifle, Is it spring powered, or C02 powered or PCP. If you don't know what you are doing you can damage it more. I would look up on the net under "Air Gun repair" and have a professional repair it if it is not under warrenty.

What is a spring-powered air rifle?
Their are 4 common types of air rifle power plants. Spring power: or Nitrogen piston power. this uses a large spring inside an air piston tube; When the barrel is cocked (Commonly called a break barrel rifle) the spring is pushed back in the piston chamber and locks. A pellet or BB is loaded. When the trigger is pulled it releases the spring, forcing the piston forward in the air piston chamber, Compressed air fires the pellet out the barrel. C02: a C02 cartridge is loaded into the rifle and acts as a small air chamber releasing some C02 each time the trigger is fired. Eventually the C02 is used up and has to be replaced. Pump power. simply you pump the forearm on the rifle and it fills an air tank. When you have enough compressed air you fire the rifle PCP: Pre Charge Pneumatic: This is a large air tank inside the rifle. It is charged with a bicycle pump or scuba tank. It's like an oversized C02 tank inside the rifle. Again each time the trigger is pulled the tank releases a burst of air behind the pellet to fire it out of the barrel. This type of air rifle is usually a very high-powered rifle.

How does a spring air rifle work?
When the rifle is cocked, a spring is compressed. Pulling the trigger releases the spring, which pushes a piston forward, The piston compresses air as it moves. The compressed air blows the BB or pellet out of the barrel.
What will happen to a pellet gun if you dryfire it?
Most spring Pellet guns should not be dry-fired. When you shoot a spring powered air gun or rifle, the spring compresses the air in the airtube and the compressed air forces the pellet out of the barrel. The compressed air also slows down the spring piston due to the air being compressed. In this way the piston doesn't slam against the end of the chamber. When you dry-fire the rifle without a pellet in the breech the piston has no resistance in the chamber and slams against the end of the airtube. Eventually it will ruin the air tube and the rifle or gun. If you dry-fire a C02 gun nothing will happen no damage will occur.
Are spring powered guns harder to reload than air powered?
A little harder but Yes they are. However spring powered air guns are usually stronger than C02 air powered guns. Spring powered guns are single shot and must be reloaded between shots where as C02 usually uses a clip with pellets or BB and is semi automatic. ( Generally speaking but not always)
Does a 177 air rifle use the same spring as 22 air rifle?
Not usually. There are several factors involved besides the spring, but the .22 will usually use a stronger spring to propel the heavier pellet.
