Running it down and pouring scorn is easy. The effort and passion on display here is real and admirable.
The best things are those you make yourself.or at least struggle for. Anyone with money can walk into a shop and buy something from the shelf, but supposing you are short of cash, or say your parents won't let you have an airgun. What do you do?
Like that pistol the other week, guns like these are symbols of a rather deep sentiment and drive and could tell a fascinating story.
Bring to mind the Blowpipes, elastic Flingers, catapults and all sorts of childhood weaponary that you may have made way back-along. Where the seeds of this amazing interest that we share were sown and realise how much is owed to such contraptions.
