The "self contained air cartridge air weapons" that were banned were the Brocock Cartridge system, where the air reservoir was shaped like a brass casing of a 5.56, 7.62 etc. These where filled with compressed air, and a pellet was placed at the neck. It was set of by a firing pin hitting the release valve on the base of the round. These could be easily converted to fire standard ammunition (usually .22LR or more tricky, the .223). Thats what earned them the ban.
In terms of a magazine fed air rifle, you'd be looking for a pre-charged pneumatic air rifle, with a rotary magazine. These are perfectly legal, however in SitX recharging will have to be done by stirrup pump, and that's just an extra burden to carry. I do like the idea of a catapult though, but I would supplement that with snares, and prior knowledge of trapping/foraging. Ideally, I'd like a pouch where I could stuff Ray Mears into, however the laws of physics prevent me from doing that.
As for camo vs civvies, its all down to the area and situation. If you are planning on surviving as a group, if you all dress the same it'll be easier to stop intruders. Probably best to not go for the same pattern as your countries armed forces. If you have a hunting/foraging party out of the camp, your sentries should be able to identify them from a distance due to the camo they are wearing. If someone approaches not wearing what your group has decided on, then you have ample warning to take whatever actions you previously decided on.
Luckily for me, I live in the north of England, so I have plenty of green spaces to disappear into should the worse come. If I was a city dweller, I'd probably start the grey man, then shift to camo once amongst the green stuff. Lets just hope it never comes to that.
