One of these! Yeah I'm English so guns are a rarity here, some specialist units of the police have them, the military, there are some private owners, the odd farmer with his shotgun. But getting a license is pretty hard, they would never give one to me as I have mental health problems. So no guns for mr Doyobi.

But don't underestimate this little fella, you get fresh with me and I can make you quite DAMP. Oh yes.

If someone breaks into my flat I have a Samurai sword and a Commando Dagger but I am quite even tempered and would be more likely to just ask them to leave, please?

You don't need a licence for MOST air stuff. Typically, if it's breech break to load, the gun store use their discretion. My .22 requires a licence as it's customised, but it isn't a firearms document per se, more just an alert to the police that I have it. It's a hunting weapon and is classified as such...Rabbits etc. The law changed on CO2 powered guns back in December last year, and I've been sent a form for them too...Not as big a deal as my shotgun licence which I no longer hold as I live in the city.

SCAR 16s and 17s

Tavor 16 and 18

Very nice rifles, particularly the SCAR 17s. But at $9-$12k for those four, it's a huge outlay. I find the Tavor overpriced -especially given how cheap AR-15 clones are - but demand for "black rifles" is so high now that it's a seller's market, and thus the Isreali bullpup commands a $1000 premium over the ARs.

The gun in the photo isn't mine, yet but it is the exact same gun.

I just found out last night my wife ordered this for my birthday, she had to ask because she wasn't sure and wanted to get the right pistol :)

Kimber Custom Crimson Carry II 1911.

Well, obviously money is no object here!

I'm waiting to see some more unusual pieces now...a Walther WA2000 or H&K PSG-1 perhaps? Maybe a Wildey magnum, a SIG P210, a Bren Ten, an early Delta Elite, a Mark 23?

Mark 23, HK45 FDE, and a pair of Glock 17Ls

All these gun purchases lately! I like it :D

Nice positioning of the barrel, by the way :p

I have no new gun photos. I did, however go shooting recently and my aim increased significantly. Not sure if it was the gun I was using or me.

I usually rent a random gun that I haven't ever shot before and I rented a 9mm Glock 19 this time. Really enjoyed it.

Thanks! I wondered if anyone would notice how I positioned the barrel over the picture of the muzzle blast.

It's important to have a firearm you're comfortable with.
