For me, the point is a precision hit on what you're aiming at. That goal is much easier with a pneumatic vs a spring gun.


Hi Dean,

If absolute precision were the goal I would have to agree 100 % with your argument. Part of the attraction of spring powered air pistols for me is attempting to master their unique recoil characteristics and thereby achieve a reasonable degree of accuracy. I also enjoy the dynamic feel that only spring powered air pistols can provide over the slightly dead feel of gas or pneumatic pistols. However, there is no doubt that it is harder to achieve a similar degree of accuracy with a spring powered air pistol, which is a pretty good reason for owning both.
