Johnathon,
I was speaking to my areas FLO the other day, I asked him how many "Brocock" FAC applications he had dealt with since the ban was publicised (he deals with west herts) "hardly any" was the answer.
There must be loads of people sitting on their now illegal brocock type air guns.
Apparently ignornance, or claims of ignorance can not be used as a defence if caught with a air cartridge air gun.
