👉 A compression weapon is a type of firearm that uses compressed gas, typically air or nitrogen, to propel projectiles at high velocities. Unlike traditional firearms that rely on expanding gases like gunpowder, compression weapons compress air or other gases to a high pressure using a pump, which is then released through a nozzle to accelerate the projectile. This method allows for more precise control over the weapon's power output and can result in quieter operation compared to conventional firearms. Compression weapons often use a piston or diaphragm mechanism to compress the gas, which is then expelled through a small opening, generating the force needed to propel the projectile. They are commonly used in law enforcement and military applications due to their reliability, accuracy, and lower noise levels.
