You're talking about a thing called a "pipe." AS far as I know, they can't shoot things very far, but that's me, what do I know? :lol:

Actually coaxials can be combustion or pneumatic. it is just that people only like pneumatic ones.

I think he means just a pipe with a cap on the back. You could get ok performance but probably not 200 yards

Not even close to 200 yards. Maybe 200' to 100 yards.
