Some are, some aren't. I've not been able to make rhyme or reason out of it. I've been told that airguns contain "flammable chemicals" and not able to be returned, but this is not indicated anywhere on the product page. So they don't really have their act together on this

Pressurized cylinders probably raise all the same flags for the carriers, regardless of what's in them. They probably just pick the most blanket 'may be dangerous' label and go with that. I'd bet there were exhaustingly long meetings with the carrier's reps to settle on that.

I returned a scope to Amazon a few weeks ago, they sent a return label along with warning labels for batteries...scope didn't have any electronics. I wonder if it's due to Amazon having a bad database entry for that model, or if the carriers have a habit of opening or refusing those packages based on what it looks like it contains?
