It is legal to use air weapons (pellet guns) to hunt in the UK, with a few proviso's.

The air weapon is limited to 12ftlbs muzzle energy if it is a rifle or 6ftlbs if a pistol.

The land being shot over must be privately owned and being used with the owners permission.

The animals hunted are common pest species not protected by law, and are suitable for being humanely killed by the type of weapon used, ie you cannot try to kill a deer with an air weapon.
