12x525=6300

[Scrambler Bob]

OK, I can’t count, but the multiplication is correct.

[NorthMountain]

24*525 = 12,600

Wow! 5 air guns. Holy Toledo! And 6000 BBs. I’ll sure sleep better tonight.

Yep, they busted a major arms dealer alright. I wonder how many terrorists have to look for new bb guns and air guns now? Just think of the lives that were saved!

😹. Los pollos hermanos. 🐓 No doubt Laz gets it.

great(?) britain, just keep pushing!

[Windflier]

I wonder how the British authorities would react to my 13 year old’s full auto, Uzi pattern BB gun. Poor kid would probably get life in prison for possessing that.

Hoplophobe; someone who fears Hopi Indians?

Do you remember the story a few years ago when someone found an empty .22 casing in a parking lot in Britain? They called SWAT, cordoned off the area, retrieved the piece of brass and began a thorough investigation.

A couple weeks later, I found an empty .22 casing on the ground at a gas station. I thought about calling the police.

Last year, my kids and some friends were showing off their realistic looking airsoft rifles. Some ninny in the neighborhood called the police. A while later, three of our town’s finest strolled into the backyard. I was there and walked over to greet them.

They took a glance at the boys and said “Toys?”

“Yep”

“see ya” and they left.

I was OK with that.

Really? 6000 rounds is a starter kit.
I was just starting to get good

[Professional Engineer]

Arsenal? Sounds like a nice day at the range.

[Charles Martel]

Or, one who fears Hopalong Cassidy. ;-)

Actually, Col. Jeff Cooper coined the term. It's political, not clinical.

“6000 rounds ain’t that much.”

Around here we call it “Saturday”.

[Rebelrage]

My wife and I own 7 guns, and none of them are air rifles. What a joke. I usually keep 1000 rounds per weapon. You have to have a supply just for range purposes. I’m a regular person and no danger to anyone peaceful. According to this article, I’m a fanatic.

[mountn man]

You missed the “or something” part.

[Billthedrill]

For the curious, this is an "ME38 Magnum Revolver"

Five shots of .177 air-powered terror. I had to sit down after seeing it.

[rktman]

You had to sit down huh? The sheer awesomeness and power of such a weapon must have been overwhelming. ;-)

[gunsmithkat]

Strictly an amateur, that’s little more than a case of 22LR, last time I checked I had around 5 cases in my ammo safe and that’s not to mention the all the center fire reloads. The other safe, Liberty’s largest, is full of fire arms. The air rifles and pistols are stashed elsewhere.

🌊🚣🏼. I see a boating mishap in your future. 🙀

24*525 = 12,600

I know.

But 12 x 525 IS 6300 (I can’t count)
