    My AK is very frugal on gas too. The Tyrex is a different matter, but I'd like a closer look at that MP40

    For those of us that have to pay for our own though at £270+ in this country they are still overpriced by £100

    For someone that bridles and asks for the sick-bag when the name 'HW35' is mentioned, hankering after the truly ugly Sten is very surprising.

    I would be asking for a Lanchester, like the Royal Navy was issued with. 50 shot magazine pips the Sten as well.

    Thats like criticising someone for not doing Susan Boyle when they've said they would give Lady Gaga a good seeing to in a darkened room.

    Or something

    The pig ugly HW35 is a completely different kettle of fish, the Sten was born out of necessity and had to be simplistic for a reason, you can't really say it's "ugly" as it has no beauty in the first place, it's like saying a lathe is ugly, they were both designed to serve a purpose, it's just a shame a Sten gun wasn't used on the designer of the HW35.

    I hope so, they've made the Webley revolver so why not the Sten and even a Lee Enfield.

    From the Sten they produced The Serling. I liked mine

    Can one buy a 6mm BB as an air rifle? Its that I'm not a fan of the small BB's.

    As it happens I own a 6mm airsoft AEG MP40.

    Sorry- but it craps on the BB version as it fires FULL AUTO, shall I say it again FULL AUTO

    And I can get 50 yds range from it, spray and pray, but so what- it's FUN And it sounds the part....

    I know both MP40 and Sten are done as Airsoft but then all the rules kick in. I don't want to join a club nor reenactment society. Just want to plink in the garden. I have an MP5 electric motor powered before the new rules.

    Do the same rules apply when selling as private sales?
