Hard to call either of these BB guns:
Daisy briefly manufactured a rifle that used compressed air to ignite a powder charge that was manufactured into the base of a .22 bullet (so, yeah, it was technically caseless ammo). Of course, that was deemed to be a firearm, and the Feds put the kibosh on that.
Here's Benjamin Transition Models (1930s-1997)
pretty sure we had a Benjamin model 312 growing up.
we called it a bb gun as that's what we shot thru it. that and anything else we could load BB sized.

Biggest advantage is for city dwellers target shooting in their back yard. That is not a problem for me as I live in the sticks but I enjoy it for the challenge of learning something new.Having access to a 4500psi compressor, I could probably fill cylinders as often as needed.
Other than not a chance of powder shortage, I can't see the advantage for me.
I was with my Canadian expat friend in TX last week and he has 3 Quackenbush (http://www.quackenbushairguns.com/) air guns; 45 and 50 caliber. Their initial charge is 3500 psi. He had to invest in a $4K air compressor and a couple of scuba tanks to charge up the guns. We had to charge up the tanks and then take them to the range to recharge the guns. To maintain velocity and accuracy he had to recharge the guns after every 2 shots. To me it seemed like a real PITA.I don't know man... 3000psi doesn't sound like DIY fun hahahaha
