Not a firearm. HOWEVER, if it LOOKS like a firearm, and someone sees it and tells the police that they believe it to be a firearm, charges for possession of an imitation firearm can result. In order for it to be considered an actual firearm, it has to expel a projectile powered by gunpowder, not compressed air.
ANYTHING can be perceived as a weapon if it is used as such. For example, if I stab someone with a pencil, I'll be charged with aggravated assault, possession of a weapon, and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose.
