Has nothing to do with semantics. It has to do with dismissing an entire shooting discipline. No one is pushing this at SHOT 2013 as a result of the gun control issue after Sandy Hook. You don't brainstorm, develop, and manufacture a product in three weeks. This isn't as odd as the TAC-15 crossbow upper, but I don't necessarily see it as appealing as simply getting a .22LR conversion unless one wants to shoot indoors. The small pellet and low velocity means the manufacturer likely intended it to be a short distance trainer rather than something that can be used in the practical sense of game or longer distance target shooting. It has no real useful kinetic energy for game. I still find I put more trigger time on .22LR than air rifles. Taking .22LR out to 300 yards is challenging but I honestly haven't taken an air rifle to a range yet to try at extended ranges past 25-50 yards, and if it's even possible to get reasonable groups with subsonic .177.
