Rifle 4.2ft-lbs is something a joke

H&N Finale Match Rifle pellets having weight of 8.2gr and require a velocity of 500 fps to shoot accurate and that generates a power of 4.55 ft-lbs.

So we in India are much better off are'nt we. Just imagine what would happen if similar rules were applied by PC's goons. More money for the officials controlling grant of licenses and loads of headaches for the public.

in Russia, according to new rules, you cant buy any .22 air gun without license, but to get license matter of few days.

IN Canada - one has the option of either owning an underpowered air weapon or simply going in for a proper firearm, (as many of them as you like - yipee) at prices that are about the same as that of an air weapon! I guess the choice is clear

Yes it's ture but who whana buy air gun if you can buy real firearms is same price think about that, from my point of view air rifle or pistol only good for the kids not for the man.
