  1. You have to show a good reason why you need the gun to get a Certificate. You need to list all the weapons you want to buy on your application. If you want to add more you have to re apply to have your Certificate Varied.. You have to show 'good reason' why you want each weapon. Approved rifle and muzzle-loading clubs will allow people to shoot club guns providing they are a club member. There are normally provisions within the club rules, which allow non-members to become "guests", sponsored by a club member, and to use club weapons to shoot on a limited number of days. This is the document that has the guidance https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/262215/Guidance_on_Firearms_Licensing_Law_v6_Nov_2013.pdf You will see that the types of weapons that are being proposed for this 'military shooting experience' are the ones that are specifically prohibited by law. Any firearm which is so designed or adapted that two or more missiles can be successively discharged without repeated pressure on the trigger Any self-loading or pump-action rifled gun other than one which is chambered for .22 rimfire cartridges
  2. Permission from the Local Police? What does that consist of? Try getting the site licensed as a range. Then get yourself firearms certificate and then getting the variations and permissions on it for the weapons you want. Some of which seem to be prohibited weapons anyway. Then try and get a license and insurance to let members of the public in to shoot them.
  3. A lot of years since I saw a Cadet rifle
  4. Sounds like you had a Blast! good stuff.
  5. But Sitting Duck posted This implies he doesn't know and is guessing.
  6. Stop saying things like this you don't know that the device he is trying to power will work anywhere between 10 to 15v. If the device wants 12v then get a proper 12v charger of the correct rating.
  7. No, if the PSU is lower ampage than the device you are trying to power it will overheat.
  8. Power input will be a round single pin plug. check the device it will give the voltage and ampage You need a power supply with the same voltage and the same or higher ampage

  10. But who decided on the fps limit and what is considered 'safe'? It varies from country ato country and site to site.
  11. But, a sniper could if it wasn't for an arbitrary rule imposed by the site.
  12. You all need a dose of Dio! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frtJQFe9apw
  13. Well, there's the mistake, Using a Bren as a rifle!
  14. His beard doesn't have a chin under it, it has another fist.
  15. His Apple Macs. I worked for a company that mainly dealt with Publishing and Media companies. We looked after a lot of Celebs Computers. I worked for Rik, Stephen Fry, Jimmy Nail (I taught him how to use Quark Xpress the Pro Publishing software) Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones, Brian Eno and Steve Harris (Iron maiden) Among others.
  16. Well, Diamond is the third hardest known substance. Wurtzite boron nitride being the hardest and Lonsdaleite being the second
  17. That's the point. They read too many forums or watch an international event and think 'if I do that I will be better.' Not for nothing is archery called the 'Art of repetition'

    I used to look after his Macs back in the 90s when he still lived in Notting Hill. Plus a colleague and I nearly killed his wife. We were driving up Regent Street, stuck in the traffic, she was walking down past Hamleys. We waved, she recognised us and decided to run across the road in front of a bus to say hello.
  19. How can you control a weapon when it isn't solid in to your shoulder? These things are fashions. Someone copies something they have seen because they think it gives some kind of advantage and then next thing you know everyone thinks they should do it not knowing why it was done in the first place. It happens in Archery all the time. Someone will use variation on their anchor or release and seem to shoot well. Others copy it not knowing why it was done in the first place or even what effect it is supposed to have. At the moment it is fashionable to let your bow do an exaggerated drop after the release and people are dropping their wrist at the end of the follow through to achieveit. This goes against the basics of form. It is happening with some archers because of their set up and the damper on he end of their long rod pulling the center of gravity of their bow forward and down. there is no need to drop the wrist to get the bow to drop, there is no advantage to it.
