    You'd have to be keen to fire one of these...

    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
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    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.

    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!

    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.

    It is clearly delusional but socialist govts tend to beleive theirs is a god given right to social engineering ,aided by and large by an increasingly craven set of tertiary academics.

    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.

    Shit, crappy starting pistols, as these guys really thick? If I was making a pistol I wouldn’t be converting a shit metal pistol! I’d be starting from scratch on my lathe and mill and making something worthwhile, as I’m sure many are.
    It beggars belief
    Boom, cough,cough,cough

    The Japanese ex-PM would differ with lathe and mill.
