An air gun is an air gun, a sword is a weapon. Both have to be treated with respect, just as a car does. Anything can kill, but not everything is a weapon. The End

Last word belongs to the OE dictionary as English was our mother tongue last time I checked...
Weapon (noun) : A thing designed or used for inflicting bodily harm or physical damage.
Anything else is just the ramblings of the deluded

Talking of deluded... my Webley Senior was not designed to, nor has ever been used to, inflict bodily harm or physical damage (except to paper). Ergo it is not a weapon. The same can be said for all of my airguns.Nice to believe....but wrong

Then again, if a Webley Senior was used to bludgeon someone to death, it could fairly be called the murder weapon.

In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.

I agree with Danny. If an object is designed to inflict harm then by definition it is always a weapon. Anything else is not a weapon until the time it is used perversely to inflict harm.
So all my airguns at the moment are no more weapons than the bread knife in my kitchen drawer. But of course things could change if I am pushed too hard!

If by "won" you mean the deluded remain snugly wrapped in their comfort blanket of ignorance and bleating repeatedly the mantra of 'my gun is not a weapon' whilst ignoring common sense and the law of the land - then you live the fantasy...It's over, the decent people won

Hi Garvin, you have got it all wrong! the webley senior was never meant to be an air pistol , it was designed to be a hammer! that's why there are always bits missing at the base of pistol grips.Talking of deluded... my Webley Senior was not designed to, nor has ever been used to, inflict bodily harm or physical damage (except to paper). Ergo it is not a weapon. The same can be said for all of my airguns.
