Overview
The Air Arms S200 is a British pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) air rifle introduced around 2002. Manufactured for Air Arms by CZ of the Czech Republic and fitted with a CZ-made rifled barrel, it uses a bolt-action loading system that is single-shot as standard, with an optional 10-shot magazine conversion. Light, compact and affordable, the S200 is offered in .177 and .22 calibres and is widely used as a low-cost introduction to PCP shooting, for juniors, plinking, pest control and field target competition.

Sold in sub-12 ft-lb UK-legal form. The small removable air cylinder fills to 190 bar and gives roughly 45 shots in .177 and 55 in .22. A factory and aftermarket magazine conversion kit upgrades the single-shot action to a 10-shot repeater.
Background
The S200 began life as a CZ design that Air Arms rebranded and refined for the British market, pairing a CZ match-quality barrel with an upgraded ambidextrous stock to create one of the lightest and most accurate budget PCP rifles available.
