There's nothing in our legislation that restricts air rifles by action or operation type.
Is it legally classed as a semi-auto though as it's a trigger-operated revolver action. Other revolver carbine designs are not classed as semi-auto anywhere as far as I'm aware.
I agree the design is more of a plaything than useful for hunting, I have the Umarex Ruger 10/22 .177 which is built on the 1077 base. But it is surprisingly accurate even in the hands of complete novices. Holds around the 600fps mark with cheap pellets.
