The Benjamin Trail XL 1500 features Nitro piston technology. A nitro piston gun (or gas-piston) works the same way as the spring gun does, but it has a nitrogen-filled gas ram instead of a coiled spring as the power source. There is a nitrogen cylinder and a piston inside the chamber. The nitrogen in the cylinder is already held under pressure and you apply more pressure to it when you cock the gun. The pressurized air is kept under tension until you pull the trigger. When you fire, the gas expands and propels the piston forward. The piston comes swiftly after the air transferred port. The compressed air has nowhere to go but behind the pellet since the chamber is sealed completely. As a result, the pellet is discharged from the barrel due to propellant force from compressed air.

The caliber (the internal diameter of the bore, measured in inches) is .177 (4.5 millimeter). It’s single shot, break barrel so it means that you can only shoot 1 shot at a time. After first shot, you have to break the barrel down to reload for the second shot. Single shot gun makes you discipline shooter: You have to make your shot count because you have only one chance to hit the target before reloading.
The barrel is rifled steel with spiral grooves inside the bore to make bullet spin. Spin stabilizes pellet, improves accuracy and enhances shooting range.
