Not sure about their legality Roly

Kind regards,

It's definitely illegal to visit your Grandkids.

[ccdjg]

It is definitely illegal to import them, so you will be taking a chance buying them online from Russia.

Flipping expensive

They might be classed as a material destructive round so defo big time illegal will probably be treated like an explosive .50 bmg round so possible huge fine or prison is it worth it I'd ask my self.

I think now more chance of being arrested just walking down the road, or buying unnecessary item like cake.

Hard to see these pellets being any more dangerous than the cuttings of Swan Vestas we used to pack into holes carved into diabolo pellets as kids?

Or bangers we bought around Bonfire Night?

This is not to say they won't be banned in this 'elf'n'safety obsessed age we live in now...

Already are sect 5 so no need for a ban. Shame really cos they are unlikely to be particularly more dangerous than a standard .177 pellet but they look like a bit of fun.

I played with the Swan vestas trick as a lad but Swan Vestas are not the same as they were back then and I do not think these new fangled ones would work, Might give it a try next time I can buy some.

As kids we used to break the head of a match with a little bit of wood left, stuff it in the back of a .22 pellet, then fire it with the pellet loaded match head forward. Worked great.

l wished l had known about that when l was a kid. but l might try it now.

I doubt that it would work with safety matches but give it a go anyway - not much else to do these days.

I used to fire the caps made for key ring pistols through a smoothbore Webley Junior as they created a great muzzle flash and were about the size of a .177 pellet!
