Not all dip down. My Sig Sauer P320 M17 Pellet has a slight kick up. It will also shoot sub 1” at 6 yards and 2” at 10 yards.
Please ignore the poor grip as it was only for the video.

Interesting points, Rockhampster. I've got 3 CO2 replicas, 2 revolvers (pellet) & a PO8 BB firer. Love the feel of them, but the disappointing 'phut' when they're fired leaves me cold. The Dan Wesson 8" in particular sometimes can't get the pellets out of the barrel. My Crosman 3576 is more accurate & has never had a misfire. All were bought new.
Some of my older airguns are 70 years old - & don't have issues. The replicas seem to be made of pot/monkey metal, even the junior rifles I own from the '50's are better made with decent metal.
All the best

Sounds like some of the BB gunfighter wannabes are trying to elevate their fun guns beyond the traditional product placement of adolescent playthings...
Sure, some of controls on the replicas might aid gun handling or a particular model - but the actual shooting won't, particularly when the accuracy of them is too poor to highlight the shooters actual deficiencies and firing the real world centrefire equivalent of the BB replicas is such a far more violent event especially with the combat autoloaders.
Years ago Crosman developed a training system using air pistols, but it was a situational tool, designed more to train LEO's when not to pull the trigger.
I think they (or Daisy) also made some sightless rifles to teach 'instinctive' shooting which was quite successful.
So they do have a place as training tools, but just not quite in the way some would like to see them maybe?
To the OP...
Just looking at the website in your signature - very interesting, but just wondering where the figures come from that support this claim... "Rapid Airgun Training operates airgun experiences sessions for novice air pistol shooters contemplating taking up the fastest growing sport in the UK"
It would be nice to believe if it's true - is it?
