The best plinking airguns, tested and rated by people who love the sport

Plinking is where it all begins. That simple, satisfying crack of a pellet finding its mark – a tin can, a paper target, a spinner in the back garden – is what hooks most shooters for life. It’s informal, it’s fun, and it never gets old.

But the right airgun makes all the difference. Too heavy, too complex or too inaccurate and the fun evaporates fast. That’s why Airgun World tests every plinking rifle and pistol properly, putting each one through its paces so you know exactly what you’re getting before you spend a penny.

From pocket-friendly first guns perfect for introducing newcomers to the sport, to slick, reliable plinkers that experienced shooters reach for when they just want to enjoy themselves – we’ve got every level covered.
