    Well a pneumatic gun can also work on CO2 so strictly speaking pneumatic air specifies which gas is used to propel the pellet!

    A pneumatic airgun (PCP) is powered by air alone and is a true self contained "pneumatic" design.

    A springer or gas ram is powered by the spring/ram and is therefore not actually pneumatic.

    Which means that the Anti-lock Braking System is breaking the system, as opposed to ABS Braking System.

    No it is not, it can also be powered by CO2, as that is also a pneumatic system...
