The UK is mussie as well as Sweden, Norway and France.
While I wouldn't be turning in my possessions just to avoid trouble, I'm an American of some Scots descent. Glad to be here not there.
Still, for the record there are some powerful air guns/air rifles out there, designed for varmint shooting and such. Very quiet, calibers up to .357 and 10 shots at 650+ fps, they can do some damage. [Crosman Benjamin Bulldog Bullpen PCP]
I don’t know who it was and really don’t care. Probably the idiot across the street. His friend was over a few months ago and left the music blaring. I walked over and mentioned that our neighborhood tended to be a little more quiet and could he turn it down.
I suspect this was just payback from a small minded individual.
My youngest son is big into airsoft, along with his friends. Us parents give them pointers on tactics and strategy, and give them lessons in guerrilla warfare.
It’s a hoot.
Do you need to wear the scuba tank to operate the rifle or is the tank used to fill up a canister in the rifle?
You can have one, but it has to be registered, and I assume this would be after a thorough rectal exam.
Tutu’s. Pretty pink ones
LOL, who needs balls when you're a groveler?
It’s moving target practice for us. A friend who was Special Forces gave us some tactics training once with Airsoft.

What in the Wide Wide World of Sports is a friggin “air weapon”
Our planet is going insane!
It’s as bad as the RC Church, formerly the great defender of Western Civilization against the depredations of Islam, and now, under the current so-called, illegitimate “Pope”, an entity devoted to enabling Islamic conquest of the West.
Except gay sex which they're fond of.
Did you ask the cop to go over to the complainant and tell them that they called in for no reason? Did the cop even care that this person wasted his time?
Outlaw Josie Wales,
has the same scene.
Last time I was in Scotland was 2002. I asked them what they thought of 9/11 and the answer was they thought we were going to nuke the bastards. I then said that if we wanted to win that war that, that was the cheapest and best way to do it.
OH THE HORROR!
Never went back. Told them that many there have become a ethinc group of cowards, whch will kill them if they persist.
That’s what happened at Wounded Knee
Awsome. Somebody has to pass down the knowledge.
They will vote to “remain” in that election tomorrow en mass.
