    If they are having to analyse it to find out if it’s been boosted to beyond 12lbs then they don’t know its a firearm yet.
    You can’t call it a firearm unless you know it’s been boosted to over 12lbs, until that point it’s just an air arm.

      Firearm makes a better headline than air weapon.

    An airgun is not a firearm in any shape or form, a firearm shoots a projectile by use of a chemical propellant, the ‘fire’ bit is the clue here.
