The '''air rifle''' was a prototype ranged weapon utilized by the [[Assassins|Assassin]]-turned-[[Templars|Templar]] [[Shay Cormac]], during the 18th century.<br />
<br />
A prototype weapon developed by the Templars,there can be a possibility that Benjamin Franklin must had made it.The air rifle propelled projectiles by means of compressed air, in contrast to widespread flintlock pistols and muskets, which used a propellant charge. While incapable of firing bullets as other [[firearms]], it was used as a diversionary weapon, capable of firing a variety of [[Poison darts|darts]], similar to the [[Blowpipe|blowpipes]] utilized by Assassins.<br />
<br />
In 1756, Shay outfitted the rifle with the prototype [[Bombs|grenade]] launcher constructed by [[Benjamin Franklin]], which allowed the weapon to fire several types of grenades, including shrapnel, sleep and berserk ones.<br />
