can you just go and send it to a ffl and they sift thru the laws in the buyers area;or would that likely kill the sale?the ramifications of just saying know your laws might not cut it legally...

Air guns and Airsoft guns are actually more complicated to sell then regular firearms because there are so many local municipalities with their own regulations. One tip is to go to one of the websites of a few big airgun wholesalers and look under their terms and conditions to see the locations where they won't ship product. If the big boys won't ship there, you shouldn't ship either. A simple "Not for sale where prohibited. Know your local laws" statement at the end of the listing is always a good thing. It shows that you at least tried.

Compared to what I've been putting up with for the past two weeks from newbie members, your questions are like a breath of fresh air.

I can't blame him.
"Firearm" means any handgun, rifle, shotgun, machine gun, automatic or semi-automatic rifle, or any gun, device or instrument in the nature of a weapon from which may be fired or ejected any solid projectable ball, slug, pellet, missile or bullet, or any gas, vapor or other noxious thing, by means of a cartridge or shell or by the action of an explosive or the igniting of flammable or explosive substances. It shall also include, without limitation, any firearm which is in the nature of an air gun, spring gun or pistol or other weapon of a similar nature in which the propelling force is a spring, elastic band, carbon dioxide, compressed or other gas or vapor, air or compressed air, or is ignited by compressed air, and ejecting a bullet or missile smaller than three-eighths of an inch in diameter, with sufficient force to injure a person.
The sufficient force to injure a person more or less includes anything and everything.
