My father actually took his own life with one of those. They scare me more than regular firearms do because of how blase people treat their use.

That's a... very compelling point. Definitely there's no excuse for not using proper fire discipline, care, and attention to safety with an air rifle.

You wouldn't even be legally allowed to finish of vermin in Finland with that, law says .22lr and up.

I think it's allowed, it has similar energy levels. The law is based on energy classification rather than specific calibers, class 4, the lowest class for hunting vermin and small game has a 150 joule limit (measured at muzzle). This mostly means 22lr or similar calibers.
