We might be talking about a different chap here, I believe the case mentioned by the Sportsmen's Association, was a guy who got a suspended sentence, he was a Cowboy reenactor who used the front venter for popping balloons..

My adavice would be, if anyone has such a beast, surrender it to a Sec5 dealer for disposal, at the very least, it will cost you your FAC.

How do I stand regarding my old potato gun I bought from Woolworth's as a schoolboy?
You press the barrel into a potato, forming a small slug, then it is propelled by one of a series of 'caps' on a paper reel.
Should I see if I can get a section five for it?

I nearly fell foul of buying one of these in 2000 in Spain, thankfully I invested the money in Jack Daniels the night before so couldn't afford it cheers

And what about trouser snakes? They are forward venting and fire a multitude of noxious matter that could easily have someone's eye out. :D

Not sure, but to be on the safe side you should hand it over to someone who has S5 authority. I have space in my cabinet to accomodate it.
