    Personally I don't see any issues with that. Does anyone want to borrow the hot poker now I've sorted my eyes with it?

    Looks like he made the pistol grip out of Selleys Knead It Steel - an epoxy putty that sets like metal.

    It's great stuff, I highly recommend it ....just not for illegally 'modifying firearms'.

    What would the total barrel length be... 3cm? 4cm? It would actually be interesting to see how the ballistics come out from that thing. Could be an impressive rainbow trajectory too.

    I enlarged the picture to standard size and the barrel from the end of the chamber to the end of the muzzle is 150mm or 1 1/2cm - easy to see this guy in the dark...just follow the muzzle flashes.

    Is this an example of what the media have been telling us about teachers and maths?

    15mm barrel would make for very interesting ballistics, I actually genuinely want to know now.

    Oddly they called it a 22lr rifle, usually anything under 762mm was described as a pistol.... Must not fit the new narrative pushing for a register

    If you look at the last row there is a 1-inch barrel which got around 730fps. So this one could reach 700fps I reckon (enough to go through a patched leather jacket quite easily).
