I thought you were talking about cyberthugs then I was hoping for a post about Cyfr threatening to beat you up or something but I'm horribly disappointed.
Certain types, yes. Some air guns (emphasis on WERE, as in about two years ago - most criminal shooters are now brought in from former Soviet countries) were being converted into live firing weapons so they got banned at the turn of the year.
Although one of my client's is a manufacturer and wholesaler of air guns and replica weapons I personally can't see the attraction of the things. But it takes all sorts I guess
As for the threadstarters question I spent £100 tonight on a meal for a couple of my friends as it was the first anniversary of the death of the father of one of them. And I am probably about to go out tomorrow and spend the same on a Byzantine coin for my collection.
Now if I had a cool £1,000,000 I'm sure I would buy something more interesting. If you want to find out what club together with your mates and all send me £100 each. Cheers.
Yeah it is legal. The only ones that arnt legal now are the "brocock" type pistols, ie ones that have a separate charge of air for each shot, as they can be modified into firing live rounds. Of course the chances of this happening are one in a million, and it would be a lot less hassle to buy a glock or something in a pub, but thats the government anti-gun hysteria for you :/
The only other illegal air weapons are rifles that make over 12ft lbs power and pistols that make over 6. For those you need a firearms licence, another rediculous idea, my rifle for example is designed to make 24-28 ft llbs power, yet has to be restricted back to 12. When you consider that even a .22 live ammunition rim fire rifle makes far far more power than that , you can see how silly it is that my .22 air rifle has to be held back to less that half its potential.
The crossman btw is a bloody ugly gun, and only fires single shot, but Ive now tried all the available pistols worth looking at, and its twice as powerful as the others and much more accurate, so thats the one Ill get I think
