Once again, had no idea that this was a problem - you'd be forgiven for believing we will end up with a registry on machined wood and black paint at this rate. That and people yelling 'BANG'.

pretty sure the old matchlock wouldnt be hard to make up... using a fuse would be easier still...where do you draw the line???
stick n string has been used for centuries and when you see it used correctly its shockingly effective.....
Rusky firepeople were dealing with big fire (in nightclub??)for a flaregun used in doors assumably to poke hole in someone....
where do you draw the line???
Im not a fan of Mr Tipple but he actually made some very valid points for once in that article....lets chase whats out there in hands of baddies harder now ....
Fuck me dead! I had custody of a starter pistol that was my maternal grandmother’s for years. Nan was ninety three when she died back in 98 so I am guessing that thing has to be way older than me. I gave it away a few years ago ( can’t even remember who to) so if Hopkins follows through does that then mean that I will retrospectively become an illegal arms dealer? Ha ha ha ha
since most of them are made from pot metal (zinc alloy) its way more dangerous for the person firing it.
i hope some w---ker points it at a cop and gets shot.
We all know this to be fact but since when do both the NZ Media and NZ Police for that matter let actual facts and truth get in the way of a good story.Quote:

So how are the people that are into (or getting into) airsoft supposed to get on? Do gooders are slowly sucking all enjoyment out of life!
Their action is justified by allegedly having seen a single example of the problem they want to tackle.
These clowns are in love with the problems they identify and fight tooth and nail to avoid any solution. If they were interested in solutions they'd listen to what people who own and use firearms have to say.
@Rushy, you will have fun in the proscribed manner or there shall be consequencesQuote:

It beggars belief:wtfsmilie:
The Japanese ex-PM would differ with lathe and mill.Quote:

Re your comment on do gooders - sadly you’re correct, just think of all the ‘fun’ things that you enjoyed when you were young - now think how many no longer exist, thanks to hand-wringing worry-wart do-gooders.:omg:Quote:

Look there i have solved the problem!
Next, you'll need a firearms licence to shop at Bunnings...
i have actually seen someone wearing a mask while driving a ford mustang. the best thing was it was a bloody convertible with the lid down,Quote:

But with the nimby's in charge if you told them something dangerous could be made with bits of pipe etc, the list of things the muppets would try to ban would be incredible.Quote:

It has real power, and fruit bursts would be suitable ammo for home defence.Quote:

After 5 years of experimentation I've used the fabric because the force of the projectile would cause plastic fatigue after about 5 shots or tear the duct tape.Quote:

Forgive me for being thick, howsitworkaw?
Im guessing you suck in the short bit off the side with flap close to it,pop marshmellow in at long/far away end,it scoots down pipe and because it has momentum it goes past sucky hole and out through flap?????
Sucky hole flap? I was following you right up until you got to that point and then my mind has gone off on a bit of a tangent I think haha
Ive seen vacume (stuffed if can spell the suckymoto word)cleaners that work off a air hose...the jet of air going into a pipe at about 30degrees creates suck in the end of pipe it is scooting past,it wasnt a huge amount of suck but more than enough to clean dust etc out of truck cab,and the particles fall out the other end of pipe onto ground...
Where are these 'Do-gooders ' ?.....my partner hasn't been keen for yearsQuote:

Bang on Micky Duck.
The magazine was a short length off a t junction at the far end with the bottom end made smaller. Firing required briefly blocking the open end long enough to suck one marshmallow down. Rinse and repeat.

Yep. I've fired a licorice allsort nearly 30 metres before (from an elevated position). Saw the a guy with the cannon at a kids science show. It's a big hit at birthday partiesQuote:

The marshmallow cannon is cool.
On the original topic Hipkins saying he doesn't think the arms act needs changing but existing regulations could be adjusted is reasonably concerning, as is mentioning needing to look into 3d printers
at a large event Ive attended for last few years they have a T shirt cannon...bit of drain pipe a rolled up T is poked down into..they fill a chamber with compressed air then POP it through behind Tshirt...depending on how much they piped in decided how far up auditorium the package went.
Ha - it's a total confused mess that no one can make head or tail of and totally devoid of useful details. Mission accomplished...Quote:

And now he's getting it back ......................
