Small Claims doesn't need a solicitor, you just fill in the forms and pay the fee.
I don't think you stand a chance of success though.

Who's house were they in? Were they in the same location as the cannabis plants?
Have you told the police they are your guns?
Have you taken legal advice.

Depends on how you read the law and how it is interpreted and any test cases that exist.
That said, the VCRA is very clear on what constitutes an imitation firearm and what constitutes a realistic imitation firearm;
VCRA 2006, Sec 38(1) defines a "realistic imitation firearm" as:
( a ) has an appearance that is so realistic as to make it indistinguishable, for all practical purposes, from a real firearm; and
( b ) is neither a de-activated firearm nor itself an antique
"Imitation firearm" is discussed in Sec38(2) and (3) as below:
(2)For the purposes of this section, an imitation firearm is not (except by virtue of subsection (3)( b ) to be regarded as distinguishable from a real firearm for any practical purpose if it could be so distinguished only—
(a)by an expert;(b)on a close examination; or©as a result of an attempt to load or to fire it.(3)In determining for the purposes of this section whether an imitation firearm is distinguishable from a real firearm—(a)the matters that must be taken into account include any differences between the size, shape and principal colour of the imitation firearm and the size, shape and colour in which the real firearm is manufactured; and(b)the imitation is to be regarded as distinguishable if its size, shape or principal colour is unrealistic for a real firearm.Air pistols may be covered under different legislation but if it can be proved that an air pistol falls under the above criteria it could be argued that it is, by definition, a realistic imitation firearm. For example, the air pistols on this page ( http://www.wonderlandmodels.com/bb-air-guns/air-guns/pistols/umarex/walther/ ) do they fit the definition of a RIF under the VCRA Sec 38(1) (a) and ( b )? I would argue yes they do, as they has an appearance that is so realistic as to make it indistinguishable, for all practical purposes, from a real firearm and they are neither a de-activated firearm nor antiques.
The law has many areas that overlap and at times appear to contradict each other, and it is all down to interpretation and knowledge of all the relevant aspects of the law.
A retailer like the one discussed might view airsoft weapons as 'toys' and may not be aware of the VCRA or even the Firearms Act (although not having knowledge of the law is no defence if an offence has been committed)
(PS - I am not an expert on the law... just find the twists and turns quite interesting
)Air Pistols are not Realistic Imitation Firearms. They re covered by the Firearms Act and are considered to be Firearms. They cannot be imitations.

There are a number of searchable instances of people being killed by overshots from shooting ranges.
Maybe we need to start a separate thread for this. I didn't intend to hijack this one, it was a 'throwaway' post I made

If you are behind a crap piece of cover that stops a bb but wouldn't stop a real bullet in the real world then you really ought to call it. They mean things like leaves or a bramble branch or something. It's your call to make and it tends to make people either be honest or find better fire positions.
Sorry, but that is as just as retarded. A hit is a hit not a maybe, might be, could be if the leaf was a bit thinner or the branch was in a different place.

OK replaced the outer barrel with a single piece unit, the old one was in two parts, the bit that fixed in to the receiver was seperate from the actual barrel which was just secured with a couple of Grub Screws. This one is a solid unit. No wobble.
Also a new metal receiver. heavier than the polymer one but reassuringly solid.

And that is it finished :3

Ithey originally wanted five pounds for it – like hell! Essentially, I told the old biddy behind the counter that the jacket was in poor condition and I needed it for a school project, and I had a single pound of pocket money (sic) left in my back pocket. Out of the corner of my eye, in the backroom I noticed some old-school burlap sacks (bingo), I just demanded that she give me these, and she did
That was nice!

No skin off my nose, but one day Ofcom will get wise to this and they will attend a skirmish.
Being government owned, they are short of funds.
What better way to help the national deficit than turn up at a skirmish, catch a load of airsofters with illegal Baofengs and no licence and hit them with their Draconian but heavy fines.
They might not have time to chase one guy but some of the bigger skirmishes ?
Would be a lucrative day for them and no different a stealth tax from the other fines we have to pay in this country for minor misdemeanors.
Just a lot more money ! - Google radio licencing fines !
It will happen one day, Just don't say that you weren't aware !
No it won't happen, they don't care about a few piddley little contraventions of the PMR license.
They have a lot of bigger fish to fry and not enough resources to do it.
