- Break barrel: The barrel is hinged and is flexed down for operators to access the breech. The barrel is also used to cock the air gun as well and will always require the most technique to shoot accurately as they usually have barrel “droop.”
- Fixed Barrel: The barrel does not move, and a separate lever is used to cock the air gun.Side lever: A cocking lever on the side of the receiver and it’s easier to shoot a side lever more accurately because they’re less sensitive to handling.
- Side lever: Include the weight of the extra lever, so they’re usually heavier than breakbarrels.
- Under lever: A cocking lever beneath the barrel that is flexed downward. They tend to be the easiest of all spring guns to shoot accurately and unlike side levers, under levers have no pronounced torque when they shoot. That’s because the extra weight of the rifle hangs straight below the barrel as a counterweight.
- Side lever: Include the weight of the extra lever, so they’re usually heavier than breakbarrels.
