Break Barrel Air Rifles
Break Barrel Air Rifles for Sale in South Africa.
Break Barrel Air Rifles, also known as Springer Air Rifles, are a top choice for shooters who value simplicity, accuracy, and reliability. These rifles use either a spring or a gas piston to compress air and fire pellets with consistent power — perfect for target shooting, pest control, or small-game hunting.
Spring-powered rifles are affordable and time-tested, while gas piston models offer smoother cocking, less recoil, and better performance in varying weather conditions.

BLACK BUNKER BM8 BLACK 5.5MM 24J
R5,600.00Add to basketBlack Bunker BM8 Black 5.5mm 24J
The airgun is the ideal survival rifle – it can shoot nearly indefinitely. Black Bunker is proud to introduce the first foldable break barrel Survival Air Rifle named the BM8. The compact design makes it easy to store and transport….
The Black Bunker BM8 Air Rifle 4.5mm/5.5mm Caliber Tan/Black is powered by a gas ram system, offering several advantages over traditional spring systems, including consistent velocity, less recoil, increased accuracy, reduced noise, less maintenance (no lubrication of spring needed), no spring fatigue, easy cocking, and increased durability.
To ensure user safety and prevent potential damage to the gas ram system, the action of the air rifle can be disengaged by a rapid 2-stage process with a push button and a selector switch, rendering it non-functional.
The BM8 comes with a Picatinny rail system for scope mounting and Picatinny rails on the sides for attaching accessories such as flashlights, lasers, and bipods. An optional configuration includes a multi-purpose knife that can be fitted as a bayonet at the end of the barrel. The first-generation knife fits in the custom case delivered with the air rifle and will be available as a stand-alone item.
The Black Bunker team is already working on the development of complementary products and next-generation models, which will be introduced continuously. With the BM8, Black Bunker has set a new standard for survival air rifles, combining innovation, durability, and practicality in a single product.

Foldable design
When we saw the Black Bunker BM8 at IWA 2023, we wondered how they did this. Now that we have it in our hands it is clear that it is a functional, smart, sturdy but above all simple design.
With a simple lever you disconnect the cocking arm and you can fold the rifle without cocking it. Secure the barrel in the folding the stock and now the BM8 is easy to transport or store.
Then you click the barrel loose from the stock, extend the rifle and re-tighten the cocking arm. This takes less than a full second and your rifle is ready for use.
Power
The Black Bunker BM8 has a stout power of 24 joules in 5.5mm (.22), this is a popular power class that provides enough power but is still easy to cock and shoot. The BM8 is able to generate this force with a gas ram/piston. In contrast to the traditional coil spring, it shoots and cocks much more smoothly.
Accessory & Optics rails
The BM8 also has 22mm rails on the sides of the stock for mounting accessories. This allows you to easily mount a bipod for a stable shot.
On top of this air rifle there is a 22mm rail for optics. This allows you to easily mount your favourite rifle scope. Don’t have this yet? No problem! The BM8 is equipped with a set of very good iron sights.
Threaded muzzle
What is not yet visible in all photos is that this air rifle is equipped with 1/2unf threads on the barrel. This allows you to easily install a suppressor/silencer.
A break-barrel rifle is difficult to silence due to the mechanism (which is the loudest for the shooter), but a good silencer will significantly reduce the muzzle blast at the barrel!In short: the Black Bunker BM8 is a very interesting air rifle that not only has an innovative feature, but the general functional quality has clearly also been considered.
