GENERAL INFORMATION

This is a spring-piston air pistol. It is powered by a powerful spring in the receiver
which acts as a piston compressing air in a chamber located behind the breech.
The air is not compressed until the air pistol is fired. Cocking the air pistol
compresses the spring piston and should only be done prior to firing. Avoid leaving
the spring-piston under full compression for
extended periods.
