One thing to think of and this obviously only applies to city dwellers, is that even a CB cap is considered "discharging a firearm" - definitely a big legal no-no. Where I used to live (emphasis on used to) there was an ordinance against discharging firearms anywhere in the entire county even if you weren't in any city limits.
Now those same cities probably frown on pellet rifles too but the cops and prosecutors would be a lot less likely to get their panties in a wad about someone "discharging a BB gun" - even if that "BB gun" has a higher MV and more energy than a .22 cap.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
