  2. Info on Airsoftguns please ?

    in Airgunners

    Posted

    As long as they are under 2.5 joules for single shot type and 1.3 joules for auto type guns they will be classed as imitation firearms sec 57(4) of the 68 Act.  Does  not mean much in England, but in Scotland it means you don't need a air weapons licence. Normal power level for a gun to be classed as firearm is normally 1 joule, but the above exemption for power is applicable for Airsoft.

  3. why was the limit on air rifles set at 12lb?

    in Airgunners

    Posted

    The energy for a gun to be considered a firearm was set out in the Policing and crime Act 2017 Section 125 as below.

    In that section, before subsection (2) insert—

    (3)

    “(1B)In subsection (1)(a), “lethal barrelled weapon” means a barrelled weapon of any description from which a shot, bullet or other missile, with kinetic energy of more than one joule at the muzzle of the weapon, can be discharged.

     Also the same Act sets out the  energy levels for  airsoft guns at 2.5 joules for a single shot gun and 1.3 joules for an auto soft air gun. 

  5. Waterproof trainers ???.

    sportspursuit.com have a decent selection  Salomon gortex trainers for well under £100 and also they are doing Lowa Renegade gortex boots for just under a £100. Best boots I have ever owned, these usually retail for about £180. comfortable straight out of the box.

  7. Shot with a BB gun

    in Off Topic

    Posted

    There are two main types of BB guns, firstly the plastic 6mm type that normally have power well less than the 1 joule limit  set for firearms in the 68 Act and secondly the 4.5mm steel type that can have power above  the one joule limit normally between 2 to 3 joules and are therefore classed as firearms, as they have the potenial to cause a lethal injury. I dont think it was wrong to call the police in this case.

    I use a black and decker 18 volt lithium ion dustbuster Flexi about £80, but probably cheaper if you have access to a black and decker outlet near you. Decent  run time and gets into all the difficult areas around the seats.

    I bought this a while back, used the knife a few times and it been sitting in the drawer since. None of the other tools have been used if I remember correctly. So it has as its main tool a pair of pliers with wire cutters in the jaws, this function has not been used, but the cutting inserts can be replaced, held in place by a small screw. The other tools are a pair of Fiskars scissors, three straight blade screwdriver bits, a cross head screwdriver bit, a file, grit bit saw and a knife blade. (there is a few very small marks on the blade, but no damage). All the tools lock into place when opened and are released by a slide switch on each side of the main body. It comes in its original black fabric cover. I am looking £65 posted (second class signed for). I am ok with paypal but at the buyers expense.

    Thanks for looking.

  20. POLISHING WITH CERIUM OXIDE

    in Motoring Section

    Posted

    I had a few very light scratches on my car windscreen, i would normally just ignore them, but they are just in my line of sight. So after a bit of googling i bought a polishing kit online that uses cerium oxide as the polishing paste. I have used said kit after watching tutorial videos on you tube. After use i examined my windscreen and it has not made any difference at all and the scratches are still there. As i have said these are really light scratches and can only be seen when the light is right. They dont catch my finger nail when i draw it across them. Has anyone on here used cerium oxide to try and polish glass scratches out and if so what success have you had. Any useful tips also welcome.

    Thanks in advance

  22. Electricity costs for a tropical fish tank

    in Off Topic

    Posted

    I am not looking an exact figure, but does any of the fish keepers on here know what the electricity costs are roughly for a 190 litre tank (Juwel Trigon 190 Litre). Have googled this and have seen many answers from a couple of quid and month to a pound a day, so quite confusing. If you keep a tank of about the same size can you tell me how much the tank adds to your monthly bill.

    Thanks Guinty1
