Faujji Air Pistol
Faujji Air Pistol
The Faujji/Fauji Air Pistol is a .177 calibre (4.5 mm) single-shot air pistol designed primarily for target shooting and practice. It’s typically spring-powered (break barrel) or a basic toy/entry model meant for safe recreational use. Sellers often market it as license-free in India (airguns under ~20 J), but safety and legal compliance still apply.

Notes:
-
Velocity specs are typically not listed officially, but break-barrel spring pistols in this class generally produce under ~20 Joule muzzle energy, which keeps them legal without firearm licensing in India when below that energy and .177 calibre.
-
Because these are low-cost entry models, real measured performance (actual pellets velocity, grouping, power) may vary significantly from seller claims.
📌 Typical Features & Use
-
No License Required: These pistols are often sold under the Indian arms rules exemption for low-energy airguns. Still, sellers may ask for ID proof during purchase.
-
Single-Shot Design: Load one pellet manually into the barrel before each shot.
-
Break Barrel Action: Cock the piston by “breaking” the barrel down; spring compression powers the shot.
-
Suitable For: Beginner target practice, basic training, eye-hand coordination drills (not suitable for self-defense).
⚠️ Safety & Legal
-
These are not firearms, but they can still cause injury if misused.
-
Never aim at person/animal — even low-power pellets can injure eyes or soft tissue.
-
Handling: Always treat like a weapon: keep safety on until ready to shoot and keep pointed in a safe direction.
-
In India, airguns under .177 calibre and ≤ ~20 Joule muzzle energy do not require a firearm license, but transport and public carry restrictions still apply.
