re: Educate me on Air Rifles

High powered spring piston airguns are loud, difficult to cock and load and have an unpleasant recoil. I prefer shooting a regular .22 with subsonic ammo.
ps: they are also heavy. my RWS model 52 .177 rated at 1200 fps easily weighs 8 lbs and is the heaviest gun I own

Huh?
All of the ones I've owned were quiet, very fast and easy to cock and load, and recoil simply doesn't exist.

I've had a Daisy spring piston airgun that is not loud and that thing packs some punch downrange. My dad has one he got to control the frogs at a pond behind their house in michigan, but due to noise that thing makes, we never got to use it. Don't remember the brand but we got it from Gander Mountain. Sounded like a .22.
The noise should factor into your decision.
