If it's powered by air and you can put a slug in it, it's a rifle. If you're that concerned call the police department (get their phone number, don't call 911), and just ask to speak to the sergeant or anyone who can access information about gun and hunting laws. They should know. If not, who cares? Go hunt. _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.

I also assume that if you shoot a snake load or frangible from a rifle it could be considered a shotgun. For those of you that do not know, a snake load is a plastic shell with steel shot in it. The plastic shell is loaded into the casing over the powder just like a lead bullet would be. Usually used in a powderburning revolver. It is used at a maximum of 15 yards, to ward off dangerous snakes or kill one in a dangerous situation. _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.
