Why must bb and pellet air guns always be treated the same respect as firearms?
Many modern 'BB' or Pellet guns will shoot a projectile at close to standard firearm speeds. You can buy a combo BB/pellet gun at big family stores for under fifty dollars that have a velocity of eight hundred feet per second. A lower velocity pistol is often only 60-100 feet per second faster. While the projectile in the BB/pellet guns is very small and light, it could easily pierce skin or eyes. So it can be very dangerous if mishandled. But so can many other things, so the importance of BB/pellet guns is to use them to teach safe handling of a firearm to prevent accidents.

Do you need a text and silencer for a pellet gun do you need a tax stamp for a silencer for a pellet gun?
A pellet gun should be silent enough that there isn't a need for a suppressor. That aside, if it can be determined to be compatible with a real firearm, it would be an NFA-regulated item (BBs and pellets come in .177 and .22 caliber, both of which are compatible with real firearms), and you would need either a Type 7 or Type 10 Federal Firearms License with a Class 2 Special Occupational Tax Stamp in order to legally manufacture it.
