Can we remove the term "weapon" and rename this category "Pneumatic Rifles", or "Pneumatic Arms"?

I am a target shooter, and as such I hardly consider my pneumatic target rifle a "weapon". It is not for killing people or animals.

These two categories seem almost identical, yet there are plenty of items in one that aren't in the other. Is there any plan to deconflict the two categories? Either eliminate the term "Pneumatic Weapons" entirely and just use the category "Airguns" or some other? Failing a plan, would anyone have a huge complaint if I just merged the two categories, and re-filed whatever few exceptions are clearly not "airguns"?
