Wrong you should read the law on magazine airguns

Many air guns have multishot magazines. The Firearms Act 1968 states that if you
have a magazine fitted to your airgun it is deemed to be loaded irrespective of
whether the magazine contains ammunition or not. Additionally, if a magazine
contains any ammunition (one pellet or more) the gun is deemed to be loaded even if
the magazine is not fitted to the gun. Never have in your possession a magazine
that is even partially loaded when not on your own property, a recognised club or
land where you have permission to shoot and never transport your air gun with an
empty magazine fitted. Despite the fact that there may be several feet between the
magazine and your air gun, it is still deemed to be loaded as in law the magazine is
considered to be part of the gun and you will face prosecution. There no defence in
law to this charge.
