    Don't you need to be VCRA registered to be able to buy one of those ?

    Due to higher power they are classed as Airguns.

    Let me get this right if is low powered[ under i jl] you need to be VCRA registered and the gun painted orange.But if is high powered over 1jl] you can just buy it with the real gun colour. Can anyone explain this?

    It's its under 1 joule it's an imitation of a firearm so needs to be painted so as not to be confused with real firearm unless you have a defence Nader VCRA.

    But and here's the crazy bit, if its more powerful but less than 6ftlbs it's not an imitation firearm...because its a real firearm and we are allowed airpisrols under 6ftlbs.

    Crazy but don't complain or they might stop us having them as well

    It does make you wonder why they bothered with a lower power limit at all. What they were trying to achieve by setting a lower limit ?

    Didn't realise that green gas could deliver that amount of power. I thought it would only be about 0.7 joule, particularly as it does blow back.
