Air guns have an insane amount of variety between them. If you're talking about the like ultra-expensive PCP air guns, yeah but you better keep a bicycle pump on you or extra canisters on you.

Pellet guns like break barrels and pistols are more of a survival gun because even though they can cause similar damage to .22 weapons within 40 meters, it's better to have it as a gun for small game or as a Liberator type deal (kill your enemy with the weak gun and take their gun) rather than your main fighting weapon. Air guns like break barrels are pretty affordable, but if you're spending the money on PCP air guns you might as well just get a low end AR-15 or a 10/22 or something
