They make models that deliver the same velocity of a .22 (1200fps) and you
can get versions with built-in suppressors (they are not regulated like
firearms.) The advantage or disadvantage is you have a reduced effective
range. It's a plus if you're shooting rodents or pest birds in pole barn or
in an area where a .22 would create more damage if you miss or the projectile
over penetrates.
There are pnuematics chambered for .357 and .50 caliber that can take a deer
sized animal with a clean kill. I have an old hunting buddy that got messed
up with dealing drugs after high school, and he lost his right to own a firearm.
He's cleaned up since then, and he hunts turkey and deer with a big bore air
rifle.
