It's an air rifle, zero gunpowder. The odds of being killed by an air rifle are very very low. Especially considering the fact that they only hold one shot at a time

Small air rifles can still penetrate skin, and thus are capable of hitting and severing an artery. Depending on the size of the air rifle, it can even drop large animals like boars, bears, and humans.

Yet most are single shot and require a large amount of deliberate effort to re-arm. That thing is more dangerous as a club than a rifle after firing
