(3) A pneumatic, spring, spring-air or compressed-gas powered nonpowdered gun that is commonly called an air gun and is designed to discharge BBs, pellets or paint balls.
(b) It shall be unlawful for any person to draw, exhibit or brandish a replica or facsimile of a firearm in a rude, insolent, threatening or angry manner with the intent to frighten, vex, harass or annoy any other person.
