Just in response to IPS and Darkside… You are both correct depending on which side of the border you live. The guidance for England and Wales is that after 21 days, if there is no response from the doctor, it will be assumed that there are no medical issues. Police Scotland take a different...

You will have to pretend you are Protestant .. "That the subjects which are Protestants may have arms for their defence suitable to their conditions and as allowed by law" Would be interesting to see if they accepted a baptism certificate rather than a shotgun one when buying a gun :)

The right to bear arms unless you were catholic was granted in 1689 . The firearms act of 1920 required a licence and registration for firearms but deemed a shotgun not to be a firearm for the purpose of the act. The 1967 Criminal Justice Act required a licence but not registration for...

This is a bit convoluted but here goes. Government Guide on Firearms Licensing Law https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/518193/Guidance_on_Firearms_Licensing_Law_April_2016_v20.pdf States :  “ 11.24 If the grant of a certificate is not so precluded...

The trouble is not necessarily the strictly legal aspect i.e. going to court and getting prosecuted where they would have to prove guilt against a specific law. It is licence revocation where they can revoke based on simple opinions and assumptions of a fire arms officer and no court case...

Maybe I am just odd but I just turn up and shoot. The class I end up in is the class it is but for some reason I like the class system. Never won high gun at registered sporting (came close once in B class which caused a few looks)  but have twice at sportrap but first time I went birds only...

Your edit is right, they already do know that all you need cylindrical combustion chamber with an opening at one end, which gas can escape governed by the lovely formula F = qVe+(Pe-Pa)Ae The red band is actually a Beretta skeet choke proving my point on chokes and rocket propulsion.   :ahappy:

Last time I knew Newtonian mechanics is the real world as it is, it’s not up for debate. Its fine that you don’t understand physics, but calling everything Hogwarts you don’t agree with then not being able prove by any law or formula what you are saying is true just means you don’t understand...

Like I said this is an academic post as you were claiming that it is against the laws of physics. It’s not, simple fact. If it doesn’t slow or the force behind it doesn’t increase you can completely forget Newton’s laws of motion, putting “slow” in inverted commas doesn’t alter that fact. I did...

The problem with all of this is when people claim Newton’s  laws and conservation of energy mean it cannot happen without understanding them. Even the head-space argument has proof in physics with the impulse-momentum theorem. The time taken is the important bit in this little gem. It takes...

Of course it slows Newton explicitly states this in his first law of motion. "When viewed in an inertial reference frame, an object either remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by a net force." In modern language. Newton’s first law of motion states...

Wonko please enlighten me where I am wrong I am happy to debate, if I completely misunderstand fluid dynamics then it shouldn't be hard to prove. Not to sure why slowing down the wad is funny as trying to push a wad through a tighter constriction must ether slow the wad down or cause an...

To prove my point on this you don’t even need to believe in the moon landings. Just buy a couple of bottle rockets on bonfire night then ignite the gunpowder contained in the cardboard tube of the rocket. If the rocket leaves the ground then what I am saying is right, if they don’t move you...

The maximum peak pressure is irrelevant for the 2nd recoil  it’s the pressure increase at the muzzle just as the gas is about to leave.  If the expanding is all done, then it would become a vacuum as the shot tries to travel down the barrel, the wad would then be travelling slower than the shot...

Ok let me answer the Physics side of it to really put the cat among the pigeons. Before anyone jumps down my throat I have gone on record on another forum answering a similar question stating that I don’t think the difference will be noticeable by a shooter regarding the pressures used in...

Yes me, I have attended them all so far, not booked on yet but will get round to it soon. 

When I was racing motocross  I just drank water and eat a banana between races, do the same for shooting. Tried the energy drinks for a bit but I preferred water. 

Unfortunately all your posts  are devoid of actual information.  cost of testing doesn't mean that it proves it more.  I work in a testing laboratory so quite easily do it myself but don't feel the need   You have no idea what they have or have not done but you condem all the same. If you...

That is for LIGHTWEIGHT game Guns only, not game Guns in general,  the same reference says everything else is ok.   "In 1992, after several years of study, the Working Group presented its findings.  In deciding on the limits for Standard Steel Shot cartridges, CIP had to take into account the...

Making it more complicated is saying you can only shoot CIP standard steel through 1/4 choke to those who have a fixed choke gun tighter than 1/4. Personally I would also use 1/4 on steel but that is for patterning reasons not anything else. I come from a scientific background so when you say...
