Answers
ANSWER
The most widespread use of compressed air guns during the 15th century was for hunting. As high cost weapons, it was the nobility who used them most frequently. They were highly effective weapons, capable of taking down large targets such as wild boar and deer in a single shot.
From the beginning, the use of compressed air guns displayed clear advantages over the use of firearms. Firstly, air guns could be used in the case of adverse weather conditions such as rain or snow, whereas the traditional gunpowder rifles were of no use in rain as the fuse wouldn't light. Another very significant advantage was the fact that air guns were very quiet, did not cause a flash when they were shot and did not produce smoke, contrary to fire arms, especially some rifles, which produced a large quantity of dense black smoke and could also cause burns to the shooter's eyes due to the sparks produced when they were shot. This feature enabled the shooter to hide and be more discreet when taking shots both in battle and in the hunting field. The speed and constant power of the shot was another advantage of compressed air weapons. Shots from traditional firearms required a long preparation process which consisted of several phases: insertion of gunpowder, of fire to light, of the bullet and the ramrod... On the contrary, the air guns of the 18th century AD, such as the famous Girandoni rifle, could shoot up to twenty shots a minute.
