Crosman Trap Master 1100 CO2 Shotgun is it legal in uk

[whitevanman574]

just wondering if anyone had fired these any good????

and are the cartridges re usable ???

[p.sharp]

the 'pegasus air shotgun' was / is legal in the uk so id assume the crosman would be

You would need a SG CERT, I believe they were very effective with a solid single ball / bullet , and you cold re- use the carts ,

I beg to differ regarding the sgc; I am sure the barrel would not be 24in long, and it is air powered, Gamo Viper Express, Crossman conversion for the 2250? there was also another Italian manufactured air shot gun in the 90's.

Yeah,

The barrel is shorter than 24", the interesting one is the 2250 pistols modded to take the crosman cartridges.

as long as it does not exceed 12ftp no probs.

[poole bay]

very true on the 12 ft/lbs limit.As the law states a shotgun must fire 6 or more projectiles,any less is a section 1 firearm.Therefore the 12 ft/lbs must apply otherwise the Crosman 'Triple Strike' Would be a section 1

[bobby1]

it does exceed 12 ft lbs and it is co2 not air , I also think the barrel is over 24 inch ,

update ,barrel length 28 inch true cylinder , bore .383'' , uses two co2 carts , 350 fps with a 7.7 gram slug aprox 20 shots on full power ,

So that's around the 32 ft/lb mark?...Nice!

yes Jud , on low power Crosman reckon 35 shots with a 118 grain slug at 300 fps 23.5 ft lbs , most people used them as slugsters, as they were useless as a shotgun ,

And a nice looking gun it is too, here's a picture of one.CLICK

So legally,

It is a shotgun then? Albeit an Co2 one?

[bobby1]

Yes it is designed to be a co2 shotgun , shooting Crosmans own plastic clays that split into two when and if you could hit one , you would need a SGC , and used with a single slug in this country would require you to have a part 1 FAC , thats why you couldn't buy pre loaded cart's with a Brenek slug for shotguns ,,

Thanks Bobby1, that makes in clearer I thought as much.

[Jenny Dipple]

I would be really supprised if you could get 23ft/lb out of 2 co2 cartridges!!!!
