However, a springer has recoil and makes a weird “CHUNG!” sound and shooting it well involves a certain technique. The triggers tend to be…interesting. They’re their own thing. A Sheridan has a gentle trigger, no recoil, and shoots with a rather mild “splat.” Springers also usually have one power level.
