Hey Rick, don't forget the muzzle velocity (less than 700 feet per second). Here is the state law in our little slice of communist Illinois.
(1) any pneumatic gun, spring gun, paint ball gun or
B‑B gun which either expels a single globular projectile not exceeding .18 inch in diameter and which has a maximum muzzle velocity of less than 700 feet per second or breakable paint balls containing washable marking colors;
Also check your local ordinances as they may be more stringent.
I don't know if you're a hunter but shooting squirrels is illegal unless you follow the Il. Wildlife Code. ie. hunting license, seasons, etc.
And our game wardens don't have a sense of humor so to speak, they can and will write you tickets and confiscate your equipment (guns, etc.).
I'm not trying to rain on your fun but I don't want to see you get nailed either.
