I would bet they grabbed some batteries out of mobile phones.

There was something on the news today about the police using these - seems they're in trouble for it too. Not bothered to look on the web, but it was on TV.

I hate you Nelly.

Four evenings of my life I'll never get back looking into how I get one of these.

What Air Rifle you selling Slatz, might be interested at the right price?

Air arms S400 .177
3ltr 300 bar cylinder, 12 months old so loads of test left
Combro chrony
Rowan Engineering multishot adapter
no name IR scope
Hard carrying case and soft sling case

Going to stick the lot on the airgun BBS for sale at Â£490 to live a little bargaining room

Never use it as much as I used to. Playing with a new heli copter would be more fun that putting bunnies in stews.
