Rich,
My logic is that you have to look at the law, home office guidelines and the current application of the law.
Anything that can fire a .177 dart at a significantly dangerous velocity I would like to see argued as a RIF in court - it ain't gonna happen, it will be deemed to be an air pistol and this is why it's on sale as such in the shops without prosecutions
Stick a lead ball through any normal airsoft and regardless of power you'll have cycling problems and balls on your feet along with no significant capability to do harm
Stick a plastic ball through an Airgun and it's still an Airgun.
On the other hand if you run a 6mm gun with CO2 to give significant power increase the law is happy to see it sold as an air pistol.
You have to use common sense rather than trying to be clever with documents in an attempt to prove that black is white and generally disprove reality,
Regards,
Nick
