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?

They have their advantages.

We used one to discourage the neighborhood kids from playing football in
the back yard. Our yard used to be a muddy mess because of their
shenanigans.

Just be sure if you use one in this manner, nobody sees you. Also, make
sure you pump it up just enough to put a good welt on them. Watch out
because you don't want to make a head shot. They'll think bees are
attacking them and go play elsewhere.
