氣動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)操作(zuo)依照原理與不同槍(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)枝的(de)(de)(de)機械(xie)設計方式(shi)有分為(wei)四種(zhong)五類(lei)：第一種(zhong)是(shi)依賴活(huo)塞(sai)(sai)原理進(jin)行(xing)(xing)槍(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)機運(yun)(yun)(yun)作(zuo)的(de)(de)(de)方式(shi)，亦即透過導流(liu)(liu)使氣體(ti)(ti)推(tui)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)活(huo)塞(sai)(sai)，活(huo)塞(sai)(sai)連(lian)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)槍(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)機，透過這一串(chuan)的(de)(de)(de)程序完(wan)成(cheng)(cheng)槍(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)枝的(de)(de)(de)自(zi)(zi)(zi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)/半(ban)自(zi)(zi)(zi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)運(yun)(yun)(yun)作(zuo)。然而活(huo)塞(sai)(sai)的(de)(de)(de)運(yun)(yun)(yun)作(zuo)以行(xing)(xing)程為(wei)主，以行(xing)(xing)程移動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)距離(li)的(de)(de)(de)長(chang)短(duan)劃分，而非以活(huo)塞(sai)(sai)的(de)(de)(de)重量(liang)或(huo)者大(da)小劃分。第二(er)種(zhong)是(shi)利用“收集(ji)”子彈(dan)的(de)(de)(de)高壓氣之后再導流(liu)(liu)進(jin)入汽缸推(tui)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)活(huo)塞(sai)(sai)或(huo)整(zheng)個槍(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)管(guan)連(lian)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)到槍(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)機進(jin)行(xing)(xing)完(wan)成(cheng)(cheng)槍(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)枝的(de)(de)(de)自(zi)(zi)(zi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)/半(ban)自(zi)(zi)(zi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)運(yun)(yun)(yun)作(zuo)。第三種(zhong)是(shi)利用第二(er)種(zhong)“收集(ji)”氣體(ti)(ti)的(de)(de)(de)原理進(jin)行(xing)(xing)推(tui)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)槍(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)管(guan)連(lian)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)槍(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)機完(wan)成(cheng)(cheng)槍(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)枝的(de)(de)(de)自(zi)(zi)(zi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)/半(ban)自(zi)(zi)(zi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)運(yun)(yun)(yun)作(zuo)。后一種(zhong)是(shi)經(jing)由氣導管(guan)導流(liu)(liu)氣體(ti)(ti)向后“吹(chui)送”槍(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)機完(wan)成(cheng)(cheng)槍(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)枝的(de)(de)(de)自(zi)(zi)(zi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)/半(ban)自(zi)(zi)(zi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)運(yun)(yun)(yun)作(zuo)。因此我們大(da)約可以分為(wei)：短(duan)行(xing)(xing)程活(huo)塞(sai)(sai)傳動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)式(shi)（Short stroke）。長(chang)行(xing)(xing)程活(huo)塞(sai)(sai)傳動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)式(shi)（Long stroke）。氣井集(ji)氣操作(zuo)（Gas trap）。槍(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)口增壓器（Muzzle booster）。直噴式(shi)氣動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)操作(zuo)（Direct impingement；也稱為(wei)Direct Gas Action）。
