(because even the hoplophobes will laugh at them as it's just an air-rifle). No, It'll be ElfnSafety what does it!<br /><br />There's already been a shift that way in the States. How? Lead of course. There are all sorts of 'research' papers on lead poisoning from shooting (no not the high-velocity, aimed kind. The 'you touched a lead thing' or 'there's all that lead dust flying about' and then had a sandwich kind).<br /><br />The number of poisonings hasn't gone up, down, or sideways, don't use lead pellets, but that won't stop them will it?

One ricochet on his lawn and he'd have helicopters overhead and armed response teams leaning out of windows.<br /><br />I could never get on with the telescopic sights. I used to aim under the sights using the metal built-in ones. They were surprisingly accurate. <br /><br />Watch out for those turnip shoots.
