air pistols
Pellet-firing sidearms
Air pistols are handguns that use compressed air or gas to propel projectiles—typically pellets or BBs rather than bullets.
They serve for target shooting, training, and pest control.
Less powerful and regulated than firearms, air pistols are often a young shooter's introduction to marksmanship: He practiced with an air pistol before moving to a .22.
