Switzerland
According to art. 3 of the Federal Weapons Act, air guns that produce a muzzle energy of less than 7.5 joules (5.5 ft·lbf) and that do not look like firearms are not considered weapons; their possession and use is unregulated. Other air guns are subject to the rules governing firearms, but do not require a permit for acquisition (art. 10 of the Weapons Act).
