.40 caliber is .40 caliber.
 
I wouldn't want to be shot with one!

Well if it had a MV of 500fps and I was at 100 yards, I might let you take a poke at me with it.

I think you should rethink that idea of letting someone take a poke at you with a big bore airgun at 100 yds.  There are people that have taken deer at 75 yds so I wouldnt want to be hit with that same round at 100yds.  I am not too sure what the fps was, but it wasnt much over your criteria, if any.

Seems to me, from what I read, that these air rifles are similar in performance to many common handgun cartridges.  .40 caliber might be similar in performance to a .40 S&W, and a .45 caliber air rifle would be similar to a .45 ACP.
 
I know Barry has killed coyotes at close to 100 yards with a .45 ACP, so I'm not sure I'd want to be shot at with one of these air rifles.  They're likely a bit more accurate than a handgun.

Bigbore airguns are nothing to sneeze at.  Excellent game killers at short range.  It's all about shot placement and wound channel.....it will put a big hole in one end and out the other.

Mine does anyway, and there are .45 caliber air rifles available on the market that are twice as powerful as mine, matching the ballistics of the original .45Colt load which has killed countless North American big game animals at 100 yards.
