Unfortunately there is no universal law about BB/ Air guns in California. Each city has their own regulations about air guns. You will have to check with the city to find out what their law is. In most cities (MOST) it's okay to shoot in your own back yard but I say check first. Pacifica may have a different ordnance than La Marada or another city so find out first.

You may want to check with other airgun shooters, like the CASA Association. see link

No,there is no "fire" involved. Unless some obnoxious, anti-gun zellot on some municipal board is completely ignorant with respect to air guns, they would never be considered a firearm.

Under US Federal law, no. At least one state (New Jersey) treats them as firearms. Laws vary place to place.

How do you identify a pellet rifle?

A pellet rifle has no firing pin. It also can not fire a bullet or gunpowder. It can not be made to do so either. The pellet has no charge (casing like a bullet) it just a pellet. However pellet rifles can be just as deadly as a real firearm. They use Air or C02 to project the pellet downrange. Some Pellet rifles are used for hunting, others for target practice. The Major difference between a firearm and an air rifle, is Gunpowder is use in Firearms and Air or C02 is used in Air rifles.

Is a 22 firearm or a pellet gun better?

For us to answer, you would have to define "better". I can target shoot at 50-100 meters with a .22 target rifle, and I can't do that with a pellet gun. But I can target shoot in my basement during bad weather with a pellet gun- and I can't do that with my .22s.
