Indeedy! Air/CO2/spring/PCP pistols are paper punchers/tin can blatters and not .44 Magnums. If it does 3ftlbs or 5.9, it really doesn't make a difference- it's still not full bore. I can understand the power issue if you are hunting, with an air rifle, but blatting a tin can or popping holes in targets??? I own a fair number of pistols, and so long as they put the pellet on the target at 6, or 10 yds, I don't worry about "super power". If I need power (i.e. if shooting for pest control or other live shooting) I'll use my Ratty or Airmagnum. I know all my pistols do under the legal limit, how much under I'm not really concerned.
