Airguns use different ammunition and power systems. Start with the actual model before buying supplies or comparing it with a less-lethal launcher.
BB or pellet?
These are different projectile categories. Some models support a specified combination and others do not. Umarex instructs owners to use the caliber and ammunition type specified for the airgun, not an approximate size match.
Which power system?
CO2, pre-charged pneumatic air, spring and other manufacturer-specified systems have different needs. Benjamin's introduction explains the main types; the exact model manual gives the relevant requirements.
Choose for recreational shooting
A sporting air pistol or rifle is not a less-lethal force option because it resembles a firearm. Choose around the manufacturer's intended sporting or training purpose and the venue's requirements.
Browse BB and pellet airguns, then check the exact model’s ammunition and power requirements.

Two different examples
ASG CZ 75 P-07 Duty CO2 Blowback Air Pistol, Black and Benjamin Marauder Gen3 PCP Air Rifle .22 have different formats and power systems. The PCP purchase needs its approved filling solution; a cartridge platform needs its specified supplies. Read each listing's contents rather than assuming a photographed accessory is included.
Ask about a substitute before buying it
Give support the exact model and proposed item. If the requirements cannot be confirmed, keep that purchase open rather than trying the combination.
