<h2>What Break Barrel Refers To</h2><p>On a Break Barrel Air Rifle, the barrel pivots at the breech as part of the cocking and loading process. Break barrel describes the action mechanism, not the power plant. A model in this category may use a spring piston or a nitro piston, depending on its design.</p><p><a href="https://cygnussports.com/collections/pcp-air-rifles" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="color:hsl(240, 75%, 60%);">PCP Air Rifles</span></a> and <a href="https://cygnussports.com/collections/co2-air-rifles" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="color:hsl(240, 75%, 60%);">CO2 Air Rifles</span> </a>use different systems: PCP models store compressed air in a reservoir, while CO2 models use CO2 as their power source. That distinction is why they sit in separate categories.</p><h2>Spring Piston or Nitro Piston?</h2><p>Spring-piston and nitro-piston models both appear in this collection, so the term 'break barrel' does not tell you which power plant a rifle uses.
