An air rifle is classified as a firearm in NZ. Just shoot a tin can in the backyard and your neighbor takes exception by been frightened, threatened, or having found a way to officially retaliate for some or other grievance. Bam!...license gone and grandpa's double .375 gone along with every firearm you own. A pellet gun wields a big stick alright,when it fits the description.
