氣動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)操作(zuo)(zuo)(zuo)依(yi)照原(yuan)理與不(bu)同(tong)槍(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)枝的(de)機(ji)械設計(ji)方式(shi)(shi)有分為四(si)種(zhong)(zhong)五類(lei)：第一種(zhong)(zhong)是依(yi)賴活(huo)(huo)塞(sai)(sai)原(yuan)理進(jin)(jin)行(xing)(xing)槍(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)機(ji)運(yun)作(zuo)(zuo)(zuo)的(de)方式(shi)(shi)，亦即透(tou)過導(dao)流(liu)使氣體(ti)推(tui)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)活(huo)(huo)塞(sai)(sai)，活(huo)(huo)塞(sai)(sai)連動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)槍(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)機(ji)，透(tou)過這一串(chuan)的(de)程序完(wan)成槍(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)枝的(de)自(zi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)/半(ban)自(zi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)運(yun)作(zuo)(zuo)(zuo)。然而活(huo)(huo)塞(sai)(sai)的(de)運(yun)作(zuo)(zuo)(zuo)以行(xing)(xing)程為主，以行(xing)(xing)程移動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)距離的(de)長(chang)短劃(hua)(hua)分，而非以活(huo)(huo)塞(sai)(sai)的(de)重量或者大(da)小(xiao)劃(hua)(hua)分。第二種(zhong)(zhong)是利用(yong)“收集(ji)(ji)”子(zi)彈的(de)高壓氣之(zhi)后(hou)再導(dao)流(liu)進(jin)(jin)入(ru)汽(qi)缸推(tui)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)活(huo)(huo)塞(sai)(sai)或整個槍(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)管連動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)到槍(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)機(ji)進(jin)(jin)行(xing)(xing)完(wan)成槍(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)枝的(de)自(zi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)/半(ban)自(zi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)運(yun)作(zuo)(zuo)(zuo)。第三(san)種(zhong)(zhong)是利用(yong)第二種(zhong)(zhong)“收集(ji)(ji)”氣體(ti)的(de)原(yuan)理進(jin)(jin)行(xing)(xing)推(tui)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)槍(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)管連動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)槍(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)機(ji)完(wan)成槍(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)枝的(de)自(zi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)/半(ban)自(zi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)運(yun)作(zuo)(zuo)(zuo)。后(hou)一種(zhong)(zhong)是經由(you)氣導(dao)管導(dao)流(liu)氣體(ti)向后(hou)“吹送”槍(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)機(ji)完(wan)成槍(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)枝的(de)自(zi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)/半(ban)自(zi)動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)運(yun)作(zuo)(zuo)(zuo)。因此我們大(da)約(yue)可(ke)以分為：短行(xing)(xing)程活(huo)(huo)塞(sai)(sai)傳動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)式(shi)(shi)（Short stroke）。長(chang)行(xing)(xing)程活(huo)(huo)塞(sai)(sai)傳動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)式(shi)(shi)（Long stroke）。氣井集(ji)(ji)氣操作(zuo)(zuo)(zuo)（Gas trap）。槍(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)(qiang)口增壓器(qi)（Muzzle booster）。直噴式(shi)(shi)氣動(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)(dong)操作(zuo)(zuo)(zuo)（Direct impingement；也(ye)稱為Direct Gas Action）。
