Maybe so, for those of us familiar with the choices available in modern air rifles. If this discussion were limited to those of us who are, I wouldn't even have mentioned it. But, since by the very nature of this thread it appeared that Paul may not be all that familiar, I felt it worthwhile to begin with the basics. It just struck me, as I mentioned, as a rather odd perspective (trying to "claim" this distinction) to have adopted, even moreso in that it appears to be the only thing you've taken away from this discussion. Just kind of weird.
To this point, I think many would first categorize air rifles as pneumatic, spring piston, and CO2. Break it down further from there into pump up or precharged pneumatic, metal or gas spring "springers", and cheap toy BB repeater or "adult quality " rifled, pellet firing CO2. I think how we break them out depends on both the context of the discussion and the level of expertise and familiarity of those participating.
