Depends on the air rifle. England restricts certain higher powered air guns that have enough energy to be useable as a weapon.

Can you buy an air rifle over 750fps in the UK?
With the draconian UK laws, any legal - non FAC - air rifle will not exceed 750 fps. With 11 ft/lbs and a pellet weight of 28g will give a velocity of around 420 fps. A FAC rifle with 40 ft/lbs and a pellet weight of 28g will give a velocity of around 800 fps. The .22 FAC Theoban MFR will produce 28 ft/lbs which equates to only 671 fps. So even if you have an FAC certificate, the chances of finding a rifle with at least 35 fps is slim, but not impossible.
