Legal Issues
BB guns are regulated in the same manner as air guns. In countries where there is a maximum velocity or muzzle energy at which point an air gun is treated like a firearm (such as in Canada, France, Italy, Germany, Australia, Netherlands and the United Kingdom), BB guns are often not powerful enough to be classed as such. See the legal issues section of the air gun article for more information.
