Bleeh Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 (edited) Yes there still legal. The trap is spring operated with a trip wire firing 12b blanks - when the wire is tripped, the spring is loosed that fires the blank - scarying the bejesus out of anything close to it. For best effects, try and place them in a tin drum or something, this makes the sound twice as load, and makes you **** your pants twice as much. The blanks (which are shorter than normal cartridges) are quiet expensive at about £10 for 20 Edited March 26, 2009 by Bleeh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libs Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Will also alert your fine self to the intruder if you are within ear shot, which with a 12b BP blank is a large area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warlock Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 They work by a spring loaded firing pin hitting a 12 gauge blank, this is operated by a trip wire type arrangement, attaching to gates is very easy, i use them in places where i shoot at night to stop people paying too much interest in my activities and being un-noticed, they are perfectly legal.

darren m Posted March 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 brill :blink: which sort will i need to put on a gate , does one half go on the gate the other part on the gate post or do you put just the wire round the gate post . or are the just set off by movement thanks lads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warlock Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 The firing mechanism bit with the cartridge fixes to the post, the wire is attatched to the gate by using a hook and eye or just tying it onto a nail, the wire gets pulled releases the safety pin, spring is released hey presto loud bang.
