Air rifles have a long history throughout the world of hunting and shooting. As early as the 17th century, air rifles were used for hunting deer and wild boar and were preferred by many skilled shooters over more modern firearms of the time. This was because unlike matchlock muskets of the day, air rifles could be fired during the rain, were able to fire more rapidly than muzzleloaders, and produced no muzzle flash after firing so as not to disclose the shooter's position. Over the centuries, air rifles have seen many changes, making them more modern and technologically advanced. One thing that has stayed the same, however, is their popularity. Just as during the 17th century, air rifles are still used today for hunting and are also widely used for competitive target shooting, recreational shooting and varmint or pest control.
