dang...the prices on some of those are insane.

check your state requirements.

Illinois state law treats certain air guns as non-powder burning firearms and makes the purchases, possession and transfers of these air guns identical to traditional powder burning firearms.

exceptions:

- if an air gun is a pneumatic, spring, BB or paintball gun that expels a single spherical projectile not exceding .18″ in diameter or
- has a muzzle velocity that does not excede 700 feet per second or
- expels a breakable paint ball containing washable marking colors, then the air gun is not considered a a non-powder burning firearm.

Illinois must have altered in the last decade or so, for a while Michigan was the last to treat any as a firearm and they dispensed with that a few years back.

Then again, it is Illinois…
