Theae “Airguns” are actually awesome. Some of the more expensive ones are capable of being used for hunting.

Air rifles are limited to 12 ft. lbs. of muzzle energy in the U.K. Anything more powerful than that requires the usual firearm purchase process and licensing. In comparison, a .22 Short standard velocity cartridge packs around 70 ft. lbs. Lots of the better air rifles are detuned for the U.K. market.

That's sad since the manufacturer of one of the best line air rifles in the world, Daystate, is in England
