Airguns may look like weapons, but that doesn't mean they are weapons, although it certainly suits some people to blur the distinction.
A match airgun is not designed to cause bodily harm or damage to anything other than a paper target.
Whether a device used to kill small mammals and birds can ever be classified as a weapon (assuming we are not talking about a Girandoni) is open for debate. The word is more properly reserved for human targets.
