An FAC isn't needed for air rifles under 12ft/lbs or air pistols under 6ft/lbs.
Most sporting air rifles are close to the limit, being in the region of 11.5 ft/lbs, which is plenty enough to kill rabbits etc at reasonable ranges of upto 40 meters or so.

A pistol over 6ft lb cannot be owned at all.
Not since 1997 when handguns were banned.
