Ask the police for his details and if not ask them how they expect you to offer an apology.
It is a criminal offence under the firearms act so it's not even his choice as to weather the police pursue the matter, it's the polices decision.
Potential offences are (and these all include air weapons);
Trespassing with a firearm on Land - firearms act 1968 s20 (2) - 3 months prison and/or fine
Having a firearm or imitation firearm in public place (without reasonable excuse/lawful authority) - firearms act 1968 s19 - 7 years prison and/or fine
Firing an air weapon beyond premises (basically need landowners permission for every bit of ground your pellet passes over) F act 1968 s21A - fine
Oh and depending on the type of air weapon it might either be specially dangerous and need special licence or even prohibited (eg compressed air types)
