"The Air Gun as a Serious Weapon" by H Marks

[Garvin]

Nice to believe....but wrong
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.

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

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!

It's over, the decent people won Live with it

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...

Harvey, I do live in fantasy land, but the fantasy doesn't involve guns Knee length boots, whips, masks and suzzies

The women aren't bad either

Now I am putting my fingers in my ears and not listening to anymore of your nonsense

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.
