I'm sure someone has asked something like this somewhere on Earth before, but I can't find it.
How does the law (WA, federal) handle high power airguns? Some years back, I was playing with an old paintball gun (adding parts, messing with pressure levels, etc), and managed to penetrate a 2x4 with a ball bearing (clean through, albeit with lots of splinters). A .68 caliber revolver would be freaking huge, and monstrously heavy, but there's no reason you couldn't make one throw heavy roundshot or buckshot.
How does something like that mesh with state and federal laws though? It's not a firearm, though it's clearly a dangerous weapon.
