氣(qi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)操作(zuo)依(yi)(yi)照(zhao)原(yuan)理(li)與(yu)不(bu)同槍(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)枝(zhi)的(de)(de)(de)機(ji)(ji)械設計(ji)方式(shi)(shi)(shi)有分為四種五類：第一種是(shi)依(yi)(yi)賴活(huo)塞(sai)原(yuan)理(li)進(jin)行(xing)(xing)槍(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)機(ji)(ji)運(yun)(yun)作(zuo)的(de)(de)(de)方式(shi)(shi)(shi)，亦即透過導(dao)(dao)流(liu)使(shi)氣(qi)體推(tui)(tui)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)活(huo)塞(sai)，活(huo)塞(sai)連動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)槍(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)機(ji)(ji)，透過這一串的(de)(de)(de)程(cheng)序完(wan)成(cheng)槍(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)枝(zhi)的(de)(de)(de)自(zi)(zi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)/半自(zi)(zi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)運(yun)(yun)作(zuo)。然而活(huo)塞(sai)的(de)(de)(de)運(yun)(yun)作(zuo)以行(xing)(xing)程(cheng)為主，以行(xing)(xing)程(cheng)移(yi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)距離的(de)(de)(de)長短劃(hua)分，而非(fei)以活(huo)塞(sai)的(de)(de)(de)重量(liang)或(huo)者大小劃(hua)分。第二(er)種是(shi)利(li)用“收集”子彈的(de)(de)(de)高壓氣(qi)之后(hou)再導(dao)(dao)流(liu)進(jin)入汽缸推(tui)(tui)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)活(huo)塞(sai)或(huo)整個槍(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)管連動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)到(dao)槍(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)機(ji)(ji)進(jin)行(xing)(xing)完(wan)成(cheng)槍(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)枝(zhi)的(de)(de)(de)自(zi)(zi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)/半自(zi)(zi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)運(yun)(yun)作(zuo)。第三種是(shi)利(li)用第二(er)種“收集”氣(qi)體的(de)(de)(de)原(yuan)理(li)進(jin)行(xing)(xing)推(tui)(tui)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)槍(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)管連動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)槍(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)機(ji)(ji)完(wan)成(cheng)槍(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)枝(zhi)的(de)(de)(de)自(zi)(zi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)/半自(zi)(zi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)運(yun)(yun)作(zuo)。后(hou)一種是(shi)經由氣(qi)導(dao)(dao)管導(dao)(dao)流(liu)氣(qi)體向后(hou)“吹送”槍(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)機(ji)(ji)完(wan)成(cheng)槍(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)枝(zhi)的(de)(de)(de)自(zi)(zi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)/半自(zi)(zi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)運(yun)(yun)作(zuo)。因此(ci)我們(men)大約(yue)可以分為：短行(xing)(xing)程(cheng)活(huo)塞(sai)傳(chuan)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)式(shi)(shi)(shi)（Short stroke）。長行(xing)(xing)程(cheng)活(huo)塞(sai)傳(chuan)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)式(shi)(shi)(shi)（Long stroke）。氣(qi)井集氣(qi)操作(zuo)（Gas trap）。槍(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)口增壓器（Muzzle booster）。直噴式(shi)(shi)(shi)氣(qi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)操作(zuo)（Direct impingement；也稱為Direct Gas Action）。
