So there's this trick. You take a springer air rifle and some oil. WD40, whatever you got laying around. Fill the skirt of the pellet with a little, a drop, less, the trick is to keep it consistent.
Anywho. When you fire the gun the compression ignites the oil, just like in a diesel engine. You gets combustion. Combustion in a confined space, with one exit point, with rifling along the way. You gets a firearm.
Now it's still only a few grain projectile and you get maybe an extra hundred fps (never had a chrono out while I was a kid mucking around in the woods). But it's pretty dang cool. Can get the pellets super sonic. Like I said, the trick is consistency with the amount of oil, or you'll affect the accuracy too much.
Your gun ain't rated for this. Big boy rules.
