I don't know the laws on pellet guns around here. I remember my neighbors and I would use them to pick pigeons off of the telephone lines when we were in our early teens. The pellets indeed killed them, and from a fair distance, so I can see why there are age restrictions. Not to mention one of my dumbass friends shot himself in the foot with one, splitting one of his toes in half with it.
As for airsoft, I think you have to be over 18 to buy it but not to use it. Even the gas-propelled ones are readily available. I had a large, clunky, rapid-fire one at about 250 fps. Don't know where it is now.
