Just to qualify Dave's answer.. 12/6 ftlb without a licence..

If you want the extra hassle of applying for a Firearm Certificate, you can go as high as you like, so you will see talk of 20, 30, 40 or more ftlb rifles
(Never heard of a FAC rated air pistol..??)

It is certainly possible but they would be S5 prohibited as a "small firearm".

Possibly thats the reason.... but BP pistols are still legal, and they put out a lot more than an FAC rated air pistol would...

.. just highlights the oddities of the Uk Firearms licensing..
