I might be in trouble, I need some help.

I moved from Britain to Ireland, and brought a CO2 pistol with me (link provided), the police found it and confiscated it to be tested to see if exceeds the 1 joule limit of power. If it does, I'll be charged with a firearm offence.

From what I can work out, .177 with a max fps of 410 works out at 0.07 foot-pounds, which = 0.09490726 Joules, which would be under the 1 joule limit?

Can anybody confirm this?

Doesn't the power of pneumatic guns depend on how much pressure the tank has left? I guess if they fire it with a new co2 cartridge you might be fucked.

>>33326948
I'm sure plenty have. Never underestimate the power of compressed air.
>>
>>33326994
I'm working it out on the max fps, so I'm guessing that would be the power recorded on a full CO2 canister?

What were you doing that the police even had a reason to find and confiscate it? You'll probably be fine. unless you were doing something else then they'll just use it to fuck you. But seriously that's fucking sad. Treating a bb gun like it's a dangerous baby killing weapon? Come the fuck on.
>>
>>33326993
An apple dropped from a height of one meter has the equivalent of one joule. I have no idea how that compares to a 4.5mm bb being fired at 400-500 fps?

A .177 BB is 5.1 grains, not .177, that's the caliber of the projectile.

I had a customer from Ireland asking questions about buying firearms. He wanted to buy one for protection.
He also wanted to talk about how much safer Ireland was and how you couldn't buy guns there like you could in the U.S.
>>
>>33327072

According to that you may be fucked depending on the pellet they use. Your average pellet is anywhere from 6.5 to 8 grain in weight. If it's travelling at 410 fps then it's carrying well at minimum that's over 3 joules. Sorry OP you're going to jail for a bbgun.
>>
>>33326948
I don't know about the bb guns, but my store sells pellet rifes with a higher muzzle velocity than a 22lr.
>>
>>33327018
There are some pneumatic rifles that are just as powerful, if not more powerful than firearms.

I found crossman bbs were 5.23 grains. At 410fps this would be 2 ft lbs of energy equaling 2.7 joules. I hope you don't sleep on your stomach OP.

I don't understand how you people can cope with your lives and not just kill yourselves.

The fuck? Guess I'm not well versed in the world of air guns.

>>33326948
Probably the old ones. When they didnt have safty valves and you could pump it till the tank exploded. Those could get some stupid psi.

Oh god, the Girandoni air rifle. For anyone not in the know, the stock is an unscrewable air-tank. That thing was military issue for one country like a hundred years ago.

I'd kill to have one, but am Britcuck, so I'd probably get killed FOR having one.

OP, a .177 cal pellet usually weighs around 0.33 grams, this means that as long as it's under 77m/s or 250ish fps you would be fine, I think your fucked.
