the PCP are the way to go if you get into air rifles...however...the support apparatus can become very expensive; a 4000 psi compressor can cost into the four figures if you choose to go that route.
Barnes pneumatic and Quackenbush, to name just two, will run you in the four figures just "For openers".
and yes, most airguns DO fall under firearms rules for use insofar as actually shooting them.
there are "big bore" (.25 caliber and larger in the world of airgunning) that are capable of, and do, take large, African game.
i have .22 and .25 caliber PCP rifles that are VERY capable and come with "Shrouds" on the barrel from the factory...
right now, airguns are not on the radar in most states insofar as 'regulation' goes but they way the technology is growing (there are semi-automatic, magazine fed, PCP rifles available now, as an example) and expanding and the air guns keep getting more powerful...they're sure to catch the eye of the legislators who are so paranoid.
the use of airguns is covered by most, if not all, fish and game departments, nationwide, too.
