But the thing about gas is that its a hassle since you need to reload both the ammunition and the gas containers, something that could have a significant negative effect on combat. (You'd also have to carry gas canisters in addition to the ammunition itsefl, which again, will negatively affect combat performance). For the power and range of a air rifle, I don't really think the trade off is worth it.

I'd think a better alternative would be a flamethrower that uses various Dust types. That way, you could just freeze whatever the Grimm is in and the problem would be solved.
