-
Safety: Even low-power air pistols can cause injury—never point at people or animals, use eye protection, and ensure a safe backstop before firing.
-
Legal (India): Models in .177 caliber with muzzle energy below ~20 J don’t require a firearms license under GSR 991, but sellers generally require proof of identity at the time of purchase.
