If it has a buddy bottle or removeable cylinder and the valve is out and open to the atmosphere then it can be sent .
But this is under the sporting guns :

Air weapons with an integral gas cylinder that are de-pressurised can only be accepted.

That should cover a precharged air rifle or in this case air pistol which does not contain any air - I’ve just this morning emptied it, took about 40 shots to totally empty it so that there’s no air out of the barrel when cocked and the trigger pulled
