Used to be as a kid. Not had anything recently though.
I grew up with Webley Tempest & Hurricane pistols. BSA Mercury and a variety of other spring and air powered rifles. This was all back before the nanny state got involved. I used to go down the local woods with an 8” Sheath knife as a teenager, and nobody batted an eyelid. I can’t even carry a bloody leather man these days without the risk of being locked up. |

Yes, I have an Air Arms S410 TDR that is used for red squirrel conservation, along with a Logun S16 and a Webley Exocet (springer).
Also use them to punch paper targets too. Used to shoot live .22 over 25yds./metres (?) back in the 70's. As a child in the late 50's, early 60's we used to have OK corral style shoot outs with Black Gats, Webley Seniors and the miserable Diana's. Surprised we're all still alive. Cheers Q

Yep, just moved on from a break barrel spring BSA Tactical Lightning XL .22 to a BSA Ultra SE Tactical Multi Shot PCP .22, bonkers accuracy and a 10 pellet magazine helps the continuity too!
Target work and permission to shot on a friend's land keeps me and my Wiemaraner happy. |

Used to muck around with loads when I was a kid. We had a bit of a rat/bunny/bird issue- bought the weirarch hw, gas powered and magazine (think it has 14 shots). Wow things have moved on, accuracy is unbelievable with the stupidly expensive scope.....needs to be for wood pigeons, they’re like fecking terminator if you don’t take them clean in the head.

Daystate Air Ranger .177 with a lovely stock. Easy to put 5 pellets within a 5p sized group when there is little crosswind. Clinically accurate, silent and deadly
Weihrauch HW97k .22 with lots of brass bits for plinking tin cans Webley Omega .22 more of a garage queen these days but still lovely to handle & shoot BSA Super Meteor .22 (early 1970s model, my first ever rifle that my Dad handed down) Find it quite relaxing of an evening, chucking some lead downrange |
