Quackenbush Air Pistol

 The out of production Quackenbush .380 caliber Co2 Shot pistol was chambered for Crosman Trapmaster 1100 shot shells that are reloaded with .36 caliber 85 grain lead roundballs. It had a muzzle velocity around 300 fps, and was effective for small game hunting.
The .380 caliber shot pistol was built on a Crosman SSP-250 pistol frame, and once Crosman discontinued the SSP-250, Quackenbush had to discontinue the shot pistol.

Following Crosman's release of the 2240, Quackenbush released an upgraded 2240 chambered in .25 caliber.
The "2540" shot 20 grain .25 caliber lead pellets around 450 fps and could get 30-35 good shots per 12 gram Co2 cartridge.

I wish that these were still available!
Here in Canada both air pistols would not require a PAL firearms license because neither gun breaks the 500 fps muzzle velocity threshold.
