Air rifles in general are very popular sporting and recreational weapons, and there are models that require a license and models that do not. Whether a model requires a license depends, with a few exceptions, on the energy with which the projectiles are fired: Air rifles with a muzzle energy of up to 7.5 joules and the marking F in pentagon are exempt from the obligation to obtain an acquisition license.
Match air rifles are extremely precise high-tech air rifles for repeatable shooting results. They are used in sport shooting, now mainly with compressed air.

Shooting is distinguished between two variations of execution: Freehand and laid-on. To enable the shooter to shoot accurately, the design of the match rifle must be ergonomically adapted to the shooter's anatomy. For this purpose, the stock of a match rifle has a wide range of adjustments, for example on the fore-end, butt-end and cheek piece.
Weights are also used to perfectly adjust the weapon's center of gravity to the shooter's needs. Just as the trigger adjustment must accurately and repeatedly trigger the shot, a finely adjustable sight ensures accurate and precise firing.
Key features of match air rifles:
- Systems are built to be very precise and ensure repeatable shots
- Freehand and offhand shooting are equally possible
- The triggers are finely adjustable, as is the sighting system
- The rifle can be precisely adjusted to the shooter's anatomy
- The loading status is displayed
- A dry practice trigger is integrated in the system
- The center of gravity of the rifle can be balanced.
Match air rifles can be purchased on platforms such as eGun, Auctronia or the VDB, but we recommend specialized online stores such as Frankonia or 4komma5.
