I believe the ones that shoot plastic balls are OK, but BBs or pellets are classed as firearms.

There is a shop on Sukhumvit , nicely decorated, that sells the most well known brand of BB guns and even offers a repair service and accessories.

This seems to me like a Chalerm look at me stunt after his "sniffing out terrorism" faux pas.

One can buy very real looking BB guns and tear gas anywhere in Pattaya, they are openly sold on the streets and in shopping malls. Who is joking who?

Air guns? Is this like what we from the US call a BB gun? If so the story is laughable!
