Single-stroke pneumatics are often confused with breakbarrels, but they’re really quite different. While breakbarrels cock a large mainspring inside of a piston, single-stroke pneumatics temporarily pressurize a reservoir. Whether you like to shoot pistols or rifles, there’s a single-stroke pneumatic for you. Watch our video to get the full scoop on these easy-to-cock, easy-to-shoot airguns.

Tom Gaylord (B.B. Pelletier)
Tom Gaylord is known as The Godfather of Airguns™ and has been an airgunner for over a half-century, but it was the Beeman company in the 1970s that awoke a serious interest in airguns. Until then, all he knew were the inexpensive American airguns. Through the pages of the Beeman catalog, he learned about adult airguns for the first time.
In 1994, Tom started The Airgun Letter with his wife, Edith. This monthly newsletter was designed to bring serious reports about airguns to the American public. The newsletter and Airgun Revue, a sister magazine about collectible airguns, was published from 1994 until 2002, when Tom started Airgun Illustrated -- the first American newsstand magazine about airguns.
Tom worked for three years as technical director at AirForce Airguns, the makers of the Talon, Condor, and Escape precharged air rifles. Today, he writes about airguns and firearms for various publications and websites. He also makes videos, and you'll find short clips embedded in some of his artices on Pyramyd Air's website.
Tom is a consultant to Pyramyd Air and writes under the name of B.B. Pelletier.
