That is utter rubbish.
Air weapons are no more powerful now than when I had my first one at 15 ish.
They may or may not be more accurate now, that depends on how good a shot you are as pre-charged tend to require less skill to shoot with good repeatability.
The legal limit for air weapons has been 6 ft/lbs for pistols and 12 ft/lbs for air rifles since at least 1969 without a firearms certificate as you state. Why you mention many of them require a firearm certificate I dont know as that applies to other rifles, shotguns, hand guns etc

Actually a neighbour of mine died several years ago and his wife gave me his air pistol. It's one of these on the link but .22 a CO2 propelled one. Did some target practice with it on a friends land - unfortunately where you put the pellets has broken - it still fires but I have to hold it shut, which hampers correct aiming.
