no because krypton is only formed in rocks, not in air particles found in the united states. Quite frankly, that is incorrect. Krypton can be found in the air, yes. It is present in the air to about 1 ppm, or one part per million. About 8 tons is extracted from the air and produced world wide every year.

No, It's around 1.5 times less dense than air.

The inert gas krypton is much heavier (almost 3 times) than air. As it is inert it will not burn.

Krypton is probably too expensive (due to its rarity and difficulty to obtain) for use in air guns.

It's density is 0.003733 (@ 293 K: 3.73 g/cm3), which makes the element lighter than air.

There is not much krypton in air compared to other noble gases. The air is only about 0.000114 percent krypton.
