Air cannon

I generally use 10 to 15 psi more than the height in feet. With a 12oz weight and 1.75 Zing-it the throw bag is still moving smartly as it passes the crotch.

Does anybody have a definitive answer to how firearms legislation might apply to using these in the UK?

Air rifles have limitations. That will be where to find the legislation.

Made a launcher for full bake bean tins etc as a kid. Can’t remember the tubing we sourced but it was just loose enough that a very small amount of petrol was put to the sealed end (but for the touchhole) followed by the tin. A flame at the touchhole and the tin went up to three hundred yards.
Was relatively quiet too - like a bazooka[emoji23]
Think nowadays in this nanny state plod wouldn’t appreciate it.

I very much doubt, that they would have appreciated it then though, to be fair.

I’ve a firearm license tbh. That’s the rifles max fill. It flattens most pellets as they leave the barrel so I run it as 14lb.

sounds a good way to be picking pieces of metal out of yourself or worse....have messed around with bird scarer bangers a fair bit when I was a lad but petrol can be very nasty...
