That looks interesting, what’s the power output on these in the USA wolfie? As you may know, they’re restricted to 6ft lbs in Britain, which is a joke, as a catapult has easily more power than that.

6 I thought it was sub 12ft lbs for y'all until you get a liscense but I think most in modified are ranging in the 15 ftlbs range but I know guys can get them a lot more powerful then that with custom parts.

So long as it’s 24 inches overall length minimum you’re ok up to 12ft lb. doesn’t matter about barrel length until you go over 12ft lb, then it’s 12 inch minimum barrel and 24 inch minimum overall length.

I'm not sure that's right mate - my old Edgun Lelya was definitely shorter than 24" and, that was ok to run at 12ftlb

Without a license, we're allowed 6ftlb for pistols and 12ftlb for rifles.

 

There's a lot of different opinions where converted pistols are concerned - the law surrounding it is a grey area so, no one really knows for sure.

 

My belief is that a court would see a pistol as being able to be fired from 1 or 2 hands, arms out stretched and, a rifle as requiring 3 points of contact, shouldered.

So, if a pistol is converted to have a longer barrel and a fixed butt, I'd be happy to up the power to 12ftlb.

Yerr, you could be right Jon, I can’t really find a definitive answer. I’ve read that to be an air rifle, overall length needs to be 60cm minimum and I’ve also read that so long as it has a shoulder stock it’s a rifle. As such, I’m not sure now. I wonder if the police might know?

Welp got bored and found a Tim of pellets figured I'd try to adjust the sights in the car port . Not the worst for low light, think this is 10 -14 rounds , stopped counting after eight honestly
