I can guarentee that those were not air guns, but airsoft guns (aka soft air guns) and as I've stated before, they are harmless (customs class them as toys for instance) especially the cheap springers (single action manual cocking) that markets unfortunately sell.
As a member of the airsoft community, I have to say that we'd love to have these things banned from market stalls as the people that sell them often haven't a clue about the law. Thankfully many markets are now banning them from being sold.
The only risk to life they hold is to the muppet who's waving one around in public when they armed response team turn up from the police.
