氣(qi)(qi)(qi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)操作依照原(yuan)理(li)(li)與不同槍(qiang)枝(zhi)的(de)(de)機械(xie)設計方式(shi)(shi)有(you)分為四種五類：第(di)一種是(shi)依賴活(huo)(huo)(huo)塞原(yuan)理(li)(li)進行(xing)(xing)(xing)槍(qiang)機運(yun)(yun)(yun)作的(de)(de)方式(shi)(shi)，亦即透(tou)過(guo)導流使氣(qi)(qi)(qi)體(ti)推動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)活(huo)(huo)(huo)塞，活(huo)(huo)(huo)塞連(lian)(lian)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)槍(qiang)機，透(tou)過(guo)這一串(chuan)的(de)(de)程(cheng)序(xu)完(wan)成(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)槍(qiang)枝(zhi)的(de)(de)自(zi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)/半自(zi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)運(yun)(yun)(yun)作。然(ran)而(er)活(huo)(huo)(huo)塞的(de)(de)運(yun)(yun)(yun)作以行(xing)(xing)(xing)程(cheng)為主，以行(xing)(xing)(xing)程(cheng)移(yi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)距離的(de)(de)長短劃分，而(er)非以活(huo)(huo)(huo)塞的(de)(de)重(zhong)量或者大小劃分。第(di)二種是(shi)利用(yong)“收(shou)集”子(zi)彈的(de)(de)高壓(ya)氣(qi)(qi)(qi)之后(hou)再導流進入汽(qi)缸(gang)推動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)活(huo)(huo)(huo)塞或整個(ge)槍(qiang)管(guan)連(lian)(lian)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)到槍(qiang)機進行(xing)(xing)(xing)完(wan)成(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)槍(qiang)枝(zhi)的(de)(de)自(zi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)/半自(zi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)運(yun)(yun)(yun)作。第(di)三種是(shi)利用(yong)第(di)二種“收(shou)集”氣(qi)(qi)(qi)體(ti)的(de)(de)原(yuan)理(li)(li)進行(xing)(xing)(xing)推動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)槍(qiang)管(guan)連(lian)(lian)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)槍(qiang)機完(wan)成(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)槍(qiang)枝(zhi)的(de)(de)自(zi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)/半自(zi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)運(yun)(yun)(yun)作。后(hou)一種是(shi)經由氣(qi)(qi)(qi)導管(guan)導流氣(qi)(qi)(qi)體(ti)向后(hou)“吹(chui)送”槍(qiang)機完(wan)成(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)槍(qiang)枝(zhi)的(de)(de)自(zi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)/半自(zi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)運(yun)(yun)(yun)作。因此我們大約(yue)可以分為：短行(xing)(xing)(xing)程(cheng)活(huo)(huo)(huo)塞傳動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)式(shi)(shi)（Short stroke）。長行(xing)(xing)(xing)程(cheng)活(huo)(huo)(huo)塞傳動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)式(shi)(shi)（Long stroke）。氣(qi)(qi)(qi)井集氣(qi)(qi)(qi)操作（Gas trap）。槍(qiang)口增壓(ya)器（Muzzle booster）。直噴式(shi)(shi)氣(qi)(qi)(qi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)操作（Direct impingement；也稱為Direct Gas Action）。
