Air rifles are a popular sport in Europe, are very accurate and can be quite powerful.
Around here, I take a Daisy Powerline 880 pump air rifle when I take my dogs out - it fires BBs and .177 pellets - 10 pumps and it's as powerful as a .22 and I use it to shoot jackrabbits and ground squirrels with pellets.
People just look at it like a BB gun, but...
