    Any repeating Airguns that have the same power as a 22LR?

    Would love to have the same power and have the ability to be suppressed without the NFA BS.

    Are their any airguns that have the same power as a 22LR that are repeating?

    Haven't seen anything that has 22lr ballistics, doubt it even exists.

    Seems to me BATF would see anything like that as under NFA unless it was permanently attached to the airgun.

    Airguns actually get more powerful than 22lr.

    There's a lot of debate on this. You are basically correct - if the can could be attached to a firearm, it's technically a silencer under the NFA. There are factory-suppressed air guns with permanent cans that are legal.

    To the OP: air guns can be crazy-powerful. People take big game with them. However:

    They are expensive. It needs to have all the parts as a firearm, of the same quality, but also an air control system. Precisely metering air from a multi-shot tank with a trigger pull requires very precise and clevel parts. Any $500 rifle can do what you need to drop $1-3k on an airgun to achieve.

    Also, it won't be .22 cal. Pellets are light, and to beat 22 ballistics and stay sub-sonic you need a bigger bore.

    This is probably the closest thing to what you want:

    However, it's $1k. You can get a Ruger American in 300BLK with a cheap can and NFA stamp for that much, and chuck 240gr bullets instead of 85gr pellets. And use that can on all your other guns.
