This, it seems that arrows utilise their energy and velocity better on target (they have great penetration because of their needle shape) and the bottleneck with Airguns is usually the low maximum velocity and total stored energy.

IIRC these airbows have a really low autonomy and reloading is difficult since you need to slide your arrow all the way.

I've been thinking about gas guns which have a much better autonomy due to the gas being stored as a liquid. Maybe they could be made with short barrels for half sized arrows?
