Correct but some people will dismantle the guns to get the package size smaller so if the rifle or pistol has a removable cylinder/buddy bottle then they will remove it .Originally Posted by Mr.Fixit-Norm
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

They may not remove the valve and it then goes to Belfast for inspection and if found to be prohibited then it may be destroyed .
People that leave a Co2 full of empty have found this to their cost .
