Edited by DELIVER ME MEMES: 1/18/2013 12:27:47 AM[quote]Isn't there only like one kind of gun allowed though?[/quote]nope. very neutered. no semi auto rifles over .22LR AR15s and AKs have to be modified to be straight pull bolt action bolt actions can be of any caliber. no shotguns holding more than 2 shots on a specific type of license. f*ckhueg barrelled pistols with tiny capacity magazines(2 rounds, IIRC) are legal. there is also a more restricted permit where you can own the fun toys like the Saiga-12s straight from Russia, with 20 round drum mags. you need to have a safe for ammo, a safe for guns, and possibly a safe for BCGs. you must have blinds or good curtains. it only takes an accusation from a neighbor that it was pointed at them(ei they saw you cleaning one through your window)) to get you jailed. you can do the research, you can find out how. but most UK shooters are massive fudds though, or atleast it's what i've heard.

Wouldn't happen to know about sniper rifles or how to legally obtain them, would you?

you mean a scoped bolt gun? get license. get gun, acquire nice glass. train yourself in marksmanship and join the UK army and try to get selected into SAS. your rifle is now a Sniper's Rifle. seriously though sniper rifle is another media buzzword to demonize guns.

Yeah, that. I'm not too tooled up on gun information. Thanks for the info though.
