In all forms of the so-called spring tensioners, a piston located in a cylinder is tensioned against a spring and locked within the weapon system, which is suddenly released by pulling the trigger, driving the piston through the cylinder. This creates an air cushion that propels the projectile through the barrel of the weapon.
In break barrel spring-piston air rifles, the tensioning and locking of the piston against the spring is done by breaking the barrel.
The preference for a specific tensioning system in spring tensioners is usually a matter of taste. Break barrel spring-piston air rifles are one of the most commonly used types of spring-piston air rifles. Many see them as representative of what is colloquially referred to as a “air rifle”.
The costs for break barrel spring-piston air rifles vary just as much as with other spring-piston air rifles. Manufacturer, model, condition, etc. are decisive for the price.
Most break barrel spring-piston air rifles are priced in the low three-digit to low four-digit range when new.
If you want to purchase, own, or carry a firearm, a corresponding firearms permit is required. For blank-firing, irritant, and signal weapons, the purchase and possession are permit-free for individuals who have reached the age of 18. However, a small firearms license is required to carry these weapons. Air guns, spring-piston guns, and CO2 guns are also available from the age of 18.
