    If you think it through its obvious they're not illegal as they are for sale in gun shops. The 12/24 rule only applies to FAC guns.

    Now you have me thinking Tinners. If the legal limit for Air Pistols is 6ft.lb. and Air Rifles 12ft.lb. at what point does a pistol not become a pistol. Must be something to define it

    This subject comes along pretty much weekly, the answer is; an air pistol is something thats designed to be shot as a pistol, and air rifle is designed to be shot as a rifle.
    Size and weight are immaterial, I know a bloke who can hold an HW80 in one hand and fire it like a pistol, but it wasn't designed to be used like that.

    I think meeting somebody of that stature with 6 + ftlb pistol down a dark alley would be the least of my worries!!

    Not much help to you but I will definitely be buying one and have started selling odds and ends and squirrelling the cash away in anticipation.

    On "the other forum" there is an amazingly detailed review in the Gun Gallery and I believe you can import via a Finnish gun shop who will have it set up for UK limit with no anti tamper. Personallly I want the .22 with a .25 spare barrel. Lot of cash but amazingly compact and unique. I will watch your thread with interest!
