PCP stands for Pre-Charged Pneumatic. These rifles use a high-pressure air reservoir (usually filled via hand pump or compressor) to fire pellets with precision and power.

Unlike spring or pump rifles, PCP rifles offer consistent power, minimal recoil, and semi-automatic or multi-shot capabilities. They’re ideal for serious target shooters and hunters.

PCP rifles can achieve velocities exceeding 1000 fps, depending on the model and caliber. This makes them suitable for long-range shooting and small game hunting.

You can refill it using a high-pressure hand pump, scuba tank, or an electric air compressor designed for PCP guns. Always monitor pressure levels to avoid overfilling.

Most PCP rifles offer 30 to 80 shots per fill, depending on the reservoir size and the rifle’s power setting.
