Blunderbuss Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 (edited) Me and a mate are talking and we aren't sure whether you need land to put an FAC air on as with a rimfire or not. Anyone clear this up for us? Ta You'll need nominated land to use it on to start with for the application, but thereafter I think quite a few (most?) forces give it an open condition from the off.

swiss.tony Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 and you don't need same size land if you only have small feilds you will get fac air on nearly anything as its very low powered compared with 22lr or hmr but you still have to meet all the same conditions as you do with bullet guns ie safe,land,police checks all the boring stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 and you don't need same size land if you only have small feilds you will get fac air on nearly anything as its very low powered compared with 22lr or hmr but you still have to meet all the same conditions as you do with bullet guns ie safe,land,police checks all the boring stuff Interestingly it is VERY rare for a FAC condition to be added restricting the power of a FAC Air Rifle, Daystate and others do them at 80ft lb, and the Americans play with crazy air rifle technical projects delivery 100's of ft lb. So FAC air, off the shelf can certainly get close to a .22lr with subs, and if you really want to get silly they can go way past .22lr and HMR.
