Compressed air weapons

Deceptively real - compressed air guns in the ID-Paintball online store

Do you like the thrill of a deceptively real gun in your hand and enjoy playing paintball? Then one of our compressed air guns is just right for you. We also have suitable guns for sport shooting. We offer many different models that imitate realistic recoil behavior and provide a unique shooting experience. Safety is our top priority and, thanks to the low joule strength, no serious injuries can be caused by a compressed air weapon. Our products are designed to be of the highest quality and our aim is to make you happy as a customer. For this reason, we offer a comprehensive range of shooting equipment.

Air guns in calibers ranging from 4.5 to 5.5 mm are more than just toys. They combine technology, precision, and shooting enjoyment at a level that challenges beginners and experienced shooters alike. Whether you choose diabolo, steel, or round ball ammunition, the caliber and system you choose will determine the performance, range, and accuracy of your shot.

Systems and technology – more than just CO₂

Several types of propulsion are available in this caliber class:

  • Spring pressure: classic, reliable, low maintenance. A spring-powered rifle scores with consistent precision, but requires manual cocking each time.
  • CO₂ propulsion: fast firing rate, consistent energy at cooler temperatures. CO₂ systems are ideal for air rifles and pistols with repeated use.
  • Pre-Charged Pneumatic (PCP): high-end technology for maximum range and consistent shooting energy. PCP weapons often offer adjustable regulators and low recoil.

The 4.5 mm (.177) caliber is often used in Germany for target and competition shooting, while 5.5 mm (.22) delivers more energy to the target and is particularly relevant for field or hunting simulations.

Precision and ammunition – the difference is in the details

The performance of a compressed air weapon depends not only on the system, but also on the ammunition. Diabolos offer excellent stability and trajectory control, while steel pellets offer greater penetrating power. Depending on the caliber size, the weight of the projectiles increases, which affects the trajectory. For 4.5 mm, light diabolos are ideal for fast, flat shots, while 5.5 mm heavier projectiles transfer energy better, especially at longer ranges.

Safety and legal requirements

Air guns are subject to clear regulations: from 7.5 joules muzzle energy, ownership requires legal age and possibly a gun license or proof of ownership. Below this limit, the models are freely available. Nevertheless, the following applies: always wear safety goggles and handle the weapon responsibly. Even with less powerful rifles, eye injuries can occur.

Accessories and optimization

A good setup doesn't end with the rifle. Precise air guns benefit from:

  • Sights: Rear sight/front sight or telescopic sight for accurate targeting.
  • Stand or shooting bench: for consistent positioning during training.
  • Regular maintenance: O-rings, seals, and lubrication for consistent performance.

Air guns in calibers 4.5 to 5.5 mm are technically sophisticated, versatile, and require an understanding of ballistics, energy, and materials. Those who take them seriously invest not only in ammunition and markers, but also in knowledge about systems, shooting behavior, and safety. In the end, the weapon rewards you with consistent precision, reliable performance, and genuine shooting pleasure when technology, handling, and ammunition are in harmony.
