氣動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)操作(zuo)(zuo)依照原(yuan)理與不同(tong)槍(qiang)(qiang)枝的(de)(de)(de)機(ji)(ji)械(xie)設計(ji)方式有分為(wei)四種五類：第(di)一(yi)種是依賴(lai)活(huo)塞(sai)原(yuan)理進(jin)行(xing)槍(qiang)(qiang)機(ji)(ji)運作(zuo)(zuo)的(de)(de)(de)方式，亦即透(tou)過導(dao)流(liu)使氣體推動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)活(huo)塞(sai)，活(huo)塞(sai)連動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)槍(qiang)(qiang)機(ji)(ji)，透(tou)過這一(yi)串的(de)(de)(de)程(cheng)序完(wan)成槍(qiang)(qiang)枝的(de)(de)(de)自(zi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)/半(ban)自(zi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)運作(zuo)(zuo)。然而(er)活(huo)塞(sai)的(de)(de)(de)運作(zuo)(zuo)以行(xing)程(cheng)為(wei)主，以行(xing)程(cheng)移動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)距離的(de)(de)(de)長短劃分，而(er)非以活(huo)塞(sai)的(de)(de)(de)重量或(huo)者(zhe)大(da)小(xiao)劃分。第(di)二種是利(li)用(yong)“收(shou)集”子彈(dan)的(de)(de)(de)高壓氣之(zhi)后(hou)(hou)再導(dao)流(liu)進(jin)入汽缸推動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)活(huo)塞(sai)或(huo)整個槍(qiang)(qiang)管連動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)到槍(qiang)(qiang)機(ji)(ji)進(jin)行(xing)完(wan)成槍(qiang)(qiang)枝的(de)(de)(de)自(zi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)/半(ban)自(zi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)運作(zuo)(zuo)。第(di)三(san)種是利(li)用(yong)第(di)二種“收(shou)集”氣體的(de)(de)(de)原(yuan)理進(jin)行(xing)推動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)槍(qiang)(qiang)管連動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)槍(qiang)(qiang)機(ji)(ji)完(wan)成槍(qiang)(qiang)枝的(de)(de)(de)自(zi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)/半(ban)自(zi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)運作(zuo)(zuo)。后(hou)(hou)一(yi)種是經由氣導(dao)管導(dao)流(liu)氣體向后(hou)(hou)“吹送”槍(qiang)(qiang)機(ji)(ji)完(wan)成槍(qiang)(qiang)枝的(de)(de)(de)自(zi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)/半(ban)自(zi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)運作(zuo)(zuo)。因此我(wo)們(men)大(da)約(yue)可以分為(wei)：短行(xing)程(cheng)活(huo)塞(sai)傳動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)式（Short stroke）。長行(xing)程(cheng)活(huo)塞(sai)傳動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)式（Long stroke）。氣井(jing)集氣操作(zuo)(zuo)（Gas trap）。槍(qiang)(qiang)口增壓器(qi)（Muzzle booster）。直噴式氣動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)操作(zuo)(zuo)（Direct impingement；也稱為(wei)Direct Gas Action）。
