A regular pistol is a firearm. It uses gunpowder to fire a bullet. An air pistol uses compressed air to fire a pellet with less velocity than a firearm.
No. "Firearm" is defined basically as a small arms weapon, as a rifle or pistol, from which a projectile is fired by gunpowder. A slingshot is a weapon, but not a firearm.
This is a tough question to answer. Is your son a responsible person. Does he know how to safely handle a pistol? You know him best, 14 is a good age to start understanding the responsibility of handling a pistol, air rifle or firearm. At 14 I had my own 22 firearm, but I had a grandfather who taught me how to be responsible with it. Look up the basic rules of handling a firearm and see if your son understands them. By the way, Pellet pistols are much more accurate than BB pistols.
I think you need to rephrase your question. Do you mean Firearm, Air soft, BB gun, Pellet gun or Paintball. It also depends on where you live.
A firearm
A shotgun is a firearm. A revolver is a firearm. A pistol is a firearm. A rifle is a firearm. If you want even more specific -- A Remington 1187 is a firearm (shotgun). A Smith and Wesson 686 is a firearm (revolver). A Sig Sauer P226 is a firearm (pistol). A Colt 6920 is a firearm (rifle).
A pellet gun is not adequate for protection, and will get you arrested.
If you are asking about the Crosman C02 pellet pistol then Yes that is what it is designed to power the pistol.
The 15XT is a BB pistol, like the name says. It is not a Pellet pistol. If you can't force is back into the BB holding slide then you might as well buy a new pistol. You will need a .177 caliber cleaning rod and use it to push the pellet back into the BB loading port
shoot a lighter pellet.
A pistol is a single hand firearm with a short barrel.
A pellet clip is the same as a bullet clip except for pellets. It fits in the breech of a pistol or rifle and holds the pellets that are waiting to be fired. Some clips are in the handle of the pistol.
