i duno wut states they are...but they do make airguns shooting about as fast/faster than a 22 lr...and that 9mm gun your talking about is in some cabelas catalogs...thats all i kno about it...and some states allow it..and i agree its ok if tthe gun and caliber fit the game....and i seen a site all about airgun hunting...if i can find it i will post it..the guys took turkeys with em too..i forget where there hunting...
