Sjovt nok så har man brugt luftgeværer til jagt i mere end 350 år:
Lidt info her:

Og for dem der ikke gide læse hele artiklen:
The main point of interest is the Giardoni Air Rifles.
They were the first repeating rifles used in combat.
The power level was about that of a .38 caliber pistol and they could kill a man at over 125 yards.
Theres also a handmade WW2 Resistance fighter's airgun made for assassination purposes. Very cool weapon.
There were a number of other Military issue airguns, I'll see what I can dig up on them.
PS
According to this site the US Navy seals have been using a 9mm air rifle in Iraq to take out Insurgent sentries silently when they are raiding enemy encampments.
