The already mentioned, .31 caliber air rifle carried by Lewis & Clark was basically a copy of the .51 caliber Girandoni(1779) - Both were remarkable rifles for the day

Stoeger makes some .177 air-rifles that move at 1500 fps.  They are new models.

Answer 3

Open up your history book and look up Lewis and Clark.  They used an air rifle to hunt big game while traversing the USA. There have been large bore air rifles used in europe for decades. Power is derived by adding more projectile weight and/or speed.
