    arrow shooting from an airgun - like some FX models

    as these aren't sold in the uk, im guessing it isnt allowed?

    Anyone ever used one? they look quite fun but have no idea what sort of power levels a pcp need to be putting out in order to propel a lightweight arrow or bolt?


    Regards all.

    These people maintain that their airbows are legal, I think they are going from the point of 'lethal barrelled weapon'. If you can't put anything inside the barrel.......it ain't a barrel. It's very interesting, but I wouldn't want to be the first one to test it out in court........

    It shoots pellets with the longer pellet barrel at 10.9-11.2 i had the barrel machined up by a good friend I'll get it out over the weekend and get some photos etc the arrows seem like an inbetween crossbow bolt and fill size arrow. We have a play with it in a building with a bit straw bale stack archery target pinned into bales and away we go not accurate by archery means but fun all the same

    There is quite an informative discussion I found on another forum. I'll post the link. If it's not allowed, I'll apologise now and obviously the mods will delete it.
