    It does indeed - it's so much better to be able to quote the actual statute law than to just make stuff up isn't it

    What about an air shotgun ? Is that SGC or FAC ? Is it subject to the 3 shot limit ? What if it doesn't actually chamber the load of shot in "semi" mode but just "blows" it down the the barrel ? Can I have a full auto air shotgun if it just blows the load from the mag ? What if it was less than 12 FP ? Could I legally have a sawn off version if under 6 FP ?

    Sorry, have I wandered off track ?
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    That's actually quite a laugh, years ago I wanted a Crosman 1100 which is a .38 CO2 smoothbore built for firing special shot cartridges

    Linky

    Another Linky

    Its quite pokey for an airgun and with a solid lead ball its about 30ft/ibs so I asked to add it to my firearms cert....

    That opened a whole new can of worms as there is no category in the firearms act for gas powered smooth bore shotguns and no-one up to and including the Home Office could advise what to licence it as so in the end I just gave up, I'd still like one and if anyone has actually managed to licence one here I'd really appreciate an email as to how it appears on their FAC?
