here is little doubt airguns have usually enjoyed tremendous popu- larity with a large number of sport shooters. From simple, inexpensive and
popularity of airguns at practically all levels are quite clear. For openers, airguns are exempt from the federal regulations that apply to firearms, which means they can be bought through the mail and don’t require any BATF paperwork in order to purchase or possess. Some states and cities, however, have regulations that apply to airguns, but in general terms owning and using airguns is usu- ally not a problem across the US.

Indoors or out, airguns generally don’t produce a great deal of discharge noise. True, some high-power, pre-charged pneu- matics and CO2 guns can be relative- ly noisy, but these models are in many cases intended for small-game shoot- ing, so they are usually employed afield. Spring-piston airguns are the quietest and their use, even in your own backyard, seldom causes any
unwelcome attention from neighbors. The economic factor
is another
crucial aspect of airguns. Although some of the more advanced adult air rifles and air pistols can put a siz- able hole in the pocketbook, they are amazingly inexpensive to shoot. Premium-grade pellets are dirt cheap when compared to a box of 50 .45 ACP rounds. Several hundred airgun pellets can be purchased for about the same price as a box of 50 .22 rim- fire cartridges, for instance. Add to that the expense — and time — in- volved in driving to a suitable fire- arms range and the advantages of the
