The state has purchased at least 35 less-lethal guns and pepperball guns in the last two
years – but none of them are available for deputies in the field, a Hawaii News Now investigation
has found.

“Replica gun” shall mean any toy or other object which bears such a resemblance to an actual firearm
that a reasonable person would have difficulty visually distinguishing it from an actual firearm, and
which lacks any feature or aspect which would serve as a signal to allow a person to readily distinguish
the replica gun from an actual firearm by sight. The term shall not include an actual firearm.
(Added by Ord. 03-24)
...
Sec. 40-23.2 Prohibitions.
(a) No person shall carry or display a replica gun on any street, alley, public road, or on any public lands
unless such replica gun is in a suitable case or securely wrapped.
(b) No person shall draw or brandish a replica gun in the presence of a law enforcement officer engaged
in the performance of his or her duties.
(c) Nothing in this article shall be deemed to prevent any person who has obtained a hunting license
pursuant to HRS Chapter 183D from engaging in hunting in accordance with law.
(d) In the event a replica gun is also an “air gun,” as defined in Section 41-8.1, the exceptions in Section
41-8.4 shall also be exceptions to the prohibitions in this article.
(e) Nothing in this article shall prevent carrying or display of a replica gun by a person involved in a living
history presentation or other activity for historical interpretation or educational purposes, or by a person
participating in a parade if such activity or parade participant is associated with an established historical
organization, museum, military preservation organization, or other group with a mission to educate the
public at various events through the use of historical artifacts, clothing, vehicles, aircraft, maritime vessels,
and firearms or replicas thereof.

Legal to carry since it's not a firearm, but pointing it at someone might get you shot.  In a split-second decision, a Cop might not recognize it as anything other than a pistol.

Public Safety admits it has dozens of less lethal weapons,
but none available to deputies on patrol

Thats what i was thinking. Cannot shoot projectiles.
Unless you are LEO or criminal.

Otherwise id carry an airsoft gun. That shit hurts like a motherfucker with full auto and glass bbs. Idk if they sell glass bbs anymore tho. Jk bout that lol.

I would use a full auto BB gun instead. Shooting somebody in the face at 15 yards or less should be a strong deterrent.  But my advice would be, do not use an air gun as your SD weapon.
