The term comes from a Greek word for "wind" or "breath" (πνεῦμα).

This makes it smaller, lighter, easier and cheaper manufactured, and safer. For the same payload, more projectile can be fired. *Since no propellant is fired, there is no chemical residue to accumulate in the barrel or chamber, no fumes or odor either. *Because there is no casing to eject, the firing mechanism can be simpler (resulting in a more reliable and cheaper weapon), and it is theoretically possible to have a higher rate of repeat fire. *The gas is cool to begin with, and furthermore undergoes adiabatic cooling as it pushes the projectile, instead of being a h ...
