Do people really go hunting with an air rifle? I though that was
another name for a BB-gun. Like we used for target practice when I was
10 years old at summer camp.

What is the advantage over a real rifle: cheaper? less likely to kill
the neighbor kid? are there laws that apply to rifles that don't apply
to air rifles? something else?

I used one to dispatch rabbits in a garden out back of that house. one
shot, cleaned and grilled :-)

More recently the neighbor and I shot numerous "tree rats" that
decided to invade the area -- Willard and Wilma. The babies found in
the nest under his small storage unit got a smack with a shovel or
stomped with a heavy boot.
