High Pressure air and Nitrogen are virtually the same. The air we breath is mostly Nitrogen. Commercially the nitrogen comes to use cleaner and drier than compressing air on-site. Nitrogen is more stable under temperature changes and will work better under extreme heat and cold.

What is a "Adult Airgun"?
Well Ralphie, it's not the Red Ryder bb-gun you got for Christmas. The Red Ryder (Manufactured by Daisy) is a dependable lever action, single shot, spring powered air rifle that shoots bb's at a velocity of 350 fps (feet per second).
Adult airguns can be powered by many sources (Compressed Air, Spring, Nitro Piston, CO2). Some are capable of shooting speeds above the speed of sound (1100 fps at sea level). They are also very accurate, precision pieces of equipment that shoot pellets and have prices that can get into thousands of dollars depending on the quality and options. Many airguns are replicas of popular firearms models, Some are just futuristic pieces of art and ingenuity. |

What is a Airgun BB?
The BB is a steel ball with a copper or nickel protective plating.
There are all grades of bb's. some are precision manufactured and others have surface imperfections that decrease accuracy. While some bb's fly straight to the target, other act like a baseball pitchers curve ball. Depending on the type of shooting practice you are doing, BB's are good enough and very affordable.
I personally like to practice with a bb pistol before shooting competition airgun or firearm. The spring force of the air pistol is a good workout tool to increase strength and wrist control. |
What is a Airgun Pellet?
The Airgun Pellet is shaped like a badminton birdie or shuttlecock. This aerodynamic shape combined with the rifled barrel of the airgun help the pellet fly straight and accurate. Rifling spins the pellet much like a football play spins the football to make it fly straight without wobble.
Pellets are now being made in Tin and Plastic/Metal combinations to protect people, animals, and the environment from adverse effects of traditional Lead pellets, and the possibility of Lead poisoning. As manufacturing techniques improve, so does the accuracy of the Lead-Free Alloy Pellet. Initial production results were not impressive, but todays alloy pellets fly with impressive accuracy. |
The Advantages to target shooting with airguns in a Lead-Free enviroment
|
As in many sports, Muscle Memory is a large part of performance, Baseball Pitchers don't have sights, scopes to throw the ball to the catcher, they use muscle memory from years of practice. A Quarterback on football relies on the same muscle memory for precision passes and long range touchdown passes, it's not luck it's practiced muscle memory.
The same Muscle Memory is needed in the shooting sports and personal protection. What better way is there to practice the fundamentals of getting your shots on target than with a gun without kickback or recoil. Get your muscle memory on target before adding the recoil of a firearm and you will be on-track to being a better firearms shooter because you know that you are really on target. |

^^ Q: Is a license required to possess an air gun (i.e. bb or pellet guns, so-called air rifles or air pistols, paint ball guns) or ammunition therefore (i.e. bb's, pellets, CO2 cartridges, paint balls)? A: An FID Card is not required to possess an air gun in Massachusetts. Air guns are regulated by M.G.L. c. 269, §12B which limits their use by minors who are not accompanied by an adult, holding a sporting or hunting license, or holding a permit from the chief of police. Massachusetts law also prohibits anyone from discharging air rifles from across streets, alleys, public ways or railroads or railway right of ways. It should also be noted that an FID Card or an LTC are not required to purchase an air gun or ammunition. As such, the state FA10 form should not be used to record the sale of such air guns. "Air Guns are for target practice Only". They use metal pellets or bb's and shouldn't be confused with Air Soft Guns that use plastic pellets that are designed to be used similar to Paintball Guns. Remember: All guns are "real guns" and every gun must be treated "at all times" as loaded and ready to fire. Color and physical features don't make any gun more dangerous than another - only the person behind the gun can assure it's use is safe or not. The Responsibility is Yours! Guns / Gun-use Defined: Finger pointed as a gun is a gesture. (combat simulation - no protection). Stick pointed as a gun is a gesture. (combat simulation - no protection). Cap-gun is a gesture with noise. (combat simulation - no protection). Squirt-gun is person to person (combat simulation - no protection). Foam Dart Gun is person to person (combat simulation - eye protection). Paintball is person to person (combat simulation with proper protection). Airsoft is person to person (combat simulation with proper protection). Airguns (BB and Pellet) are for Target practice - Hunting. Firearms are for Protection - Hunting - Target practice. |

Frequently asked Question:
Airguns for personal protection - air pistol or air rifle
An opinion and not any kind of legal advice:
Any kind of gun, mace, pepper gel, pepper spray, pepper powder, or other weapons have different restrictions when you pass from town to town, city to city, state to state, country to country. It is up to the person who wishes to protect themselves with any kind of lethal or non-lethal weapon, to know the laws where they are traveling from and to. Remember, your not protecting your "stuff", your protecting yourself.
If you are looking towards a gun (lethal weapon) so you can stay at a distance to protect yourself... most laws figure if you're that far away, you aren’t protecting yourself and your first line of defense is to run away.
The first step in any person protection is being able to keep the other person away from the weapon and give yourself time to properly prepare it for use while under attack. Martial arts or similar training. Once a weapon is in the battle it becomes available to all in the battle.
If you think you need to protect yourself with a weapon, maybe it's time to change what your doing or move away from the danger you think you need to be protected from. If you can't, then it's time to find an attorney and get professional legal advice so you can prepare for all outcomes.
Q: Would an airgun be effective in fending off an attacker?
A: Depends... even criminals hit with a .45 cal firearm with one shot aren't immediately down and out. Why do the police take many shots when fending off and disarming a criminal with a weapon? Could be that they might miss and need follow up shots to make sure one hit it's mark? or could it be that it's not all that easy to stop a person determined to do harm with a weapon?
Any kind of weapon inflicts pain in an attempt to disarm and can even cause death with a single hit if it's in the right spot.
Different people can tolerate different levels of pain. Some can't handle a needle from the doctor and some continue to play sports with broken bones.
We hope this didn't answer all your questions but gave you more to think about before you contact a legal professional to get an answer that is good for your situation.
At New England Airgun we are focused on the personal enjoyment of marksmanship, competition, and target shooting. We do have customers that enjoy hunting with airguns and it's up to them to follow all the hunting and gun laws for the town and state they are in. For Legal Advice on Personal protection find yourself a good Attorney.
If your still interested in pepper gel-spray-powder products for Non Lethal protection, we now carry some for your convenience. Visit our Personal Protection page for products you can't get by mail order in Massachusetts but you can pickup in our store.
