Additional Notes: |

Dutch ..... Luchtgeweren met een platte blaasbalg in de kolf die wordt samengeperst door een veer of veren wanneer de trekker wordt overgehaald, zodat er een sterke luchtstoot wordt geproduceerd om het projectiel voort te stuwen. Ze kwamen veel voor in het zuiden van Duitsland en Oostenrijk in de 18e en vroege 19e eeuw. |
Spanish ..... Armas de aire que tienen un par de fuelles planos en la culata que se pliegan mediante un resorte o resortes cuando se aprieta el gatillo, produciendo una fuerte explosión de aire que lanza el proyectil. Fueron populares en el sur de Alemania y Austria en el siglo XVIII y comienzos del siglo XIX. |
