Is there such a thing as an air rifle that shoots bird-shot?

We're getting over-run with rabbits, some kind of chipmunk-looking
thingy and a raccoon greeted me on the patio a few days ago... trying
to come in the doggie door!!

If I fired a shot gun in this neighborhood the resulting echo from the
surrounding hills would bring the cops in five seconds, plus knock
holes in fences :-(

I love to cook with wine Sometimes I even put it in the food

I wonder if it would be very good to cross an air rifle with a Paslode
cordless nailer. Use an air/fuel mixture to propel a pellet instead of
pumping air. Seems like a winner if you could get sufficient velocity that
way. If my understanding is correct, the military propels artillery that
way.
