What are air guns?

Air guns are a type of firearm that uses compressed air to fire projectiles. These types of firearms are usually powered by a hand pump or a CO2 canister. Air firearms are not the same thing as airsoft firearms. Airsoft is a competitive sport in which participants fire harmless projectiles at each other for fun while air pistols are real weapons that are capable of killing small animals. Air firearms fire pellets or BBs, and this company makes air pistols and air revolvers.
