A direct relative of the gun maker for Lewis and Clark lives and builds air rifles in Bolivar, Missouri.

Any further info? Thanks.

I guess they are not bio-degradable...

Some are, and are branded as such. I keep finding them all over the yard from the prior owner's kids. Of course, my yard is dirt and rock. The one's I don't like are the clear plastic ones I dropped on the tile floor. I think I found them all. Just walked around barefoot for a few days to make certain ;-). Not as bad as Legos, but not fun, either.

Today’s UK Dailymail had a map showing BREXIT yea and nay stances by county. Scotland and Wales, socialist strongholds favored nay on BREXIT, while England for.

Interesting graphic breakdown.

Has there been a massive incidence of airgun related crime? Crossbow boltings? WWII air pistol abuse?

Scots Wha' Hae

Scots, wha hae wi Wallace bled,
Scots, wham Bruce has aften led,
Welcome to your gory bed,
Or to victorie!

Now's the day, and now's the hour;
See the front o' battle lour;
See approach proud Edward's power -
Chains and slaverie!

Wha will be a traitor-knave?
Wha can fill a coward's grave?
Wha sae base as be a Slave?
Let him turn and flie!

Wha for Scotland's king and law
Freedom's sword will strongly draw,
Freeman stand, or freeman fa'
Let him follow me!

By Oppression's woes and pains!
By your Sons in servile chains!
We will drain our dearest veins,
But they shall be free!

Lay the proud Usurpers low!
Tyrants fall in ev'ry foe!
Liberty's in ev'ry blow! -
Let us do — or die!

by Robert Burns

For the first time, on the 702nd anniversary of the eve of the Battle of Bannockburn, I am ashamed of the Scots blood that flows in my veins.

Fang likes his crossbow. I’m not strong enough to pull the
dern string back; so I have to use my great-great grand-
father’s old Smith & Wesson revolver. It still shoots real
good.

“Yesterday I found yet another airsoft pellet in my back yard.”

My mom would always complain about sweeping/vacuuming our downstairs as we would be down there a LOT as kids shooting our pellet guns. I think after I went to college she would still find a bb or two that had got away!

I was just thinking about it last night when my old man thought it would be fun to shoot the .22 down there. No ear protection. (Once!)

Blowguns, switchblades, knuckledusters, katanas and many other basic low technology weapons are actually illegal in the UK! They cannot be owned with a license.

They’re junk. All are below 12 ft/lbs. Any air rifle with more power than that requires a Firearms Certificate and a Police approved gun safe in the UK.

This low-powered airgun licensing legislation was passed by the new Scottish Parliament. Soon Scots will need a license to take a dump!

If Brexit passes and Scotland eventually becomes independent the
Scots will reapply the EU yoke .

At least maybe the English taxpayers will get a break from having to carry the
Scots.
