He'd be safe with it. He's cross-eyed so he'd never hit anything he was looking at.

Future Imperial Stormtrooper

Can't remember the exact lines:

'Who employed this man?'

'Me sir, he's my cousin.'

How come the exact same story, word for word, is in the Mirror, but with a different journalist's name.

Is this another example of the DM just ripping everyone else's stories off. Or if they legitimately syndicated it from a local newspaper how come they don't credit the original writer.

Anyway, the kid has a weird youtube channel full of videos of police cars and ice cream vans, unless there are two kids with his unusual name.

Used to have to work with someone who gave his son that name.

He was a real idiot (the father).

not the child's fault per se, but tells you a lot about the family.

quite funny reading the origins of the name though

I'm 99% sure it's an airsoft gun, I have one that is identical

In terms of power it's no air rifle , however it did leave a nice bruise on my girlfriends ass

[Boydie88]

Certainly looks like an airsoft gun. Magazine looks detachable and I know they are supposed to be painted that colour these days until you've been to a few airsoft events.

I know I once brought this in to school to sell to a mate.



Wouldn't have dreamt of showing a teacher the toy gun.

[Moonhawk]

If the gun cannot actually fire anything - it seems like a massive overreaction by the school.

Imagine if he'd taken a water pistol, nerf gun - or heaven forbid - a cap gun?

[NoNeed]

Those teachers and the head should be sacked.

not the same (not suggesting it;s not another version, but clearly it's not that one.)

[Justayellowbadge]

This is one we won at the village fair, took about 30 seconds to realise the lad should not be playing with it unaccompanied. Could certainly hurt pets, for instance. Would not want to be shot with it close up.

Except it looks very much like an airsoft gun. Detachable mag, the end looks hollowed which you don't usually see on toy guns and the barrel looks separate too.

As for scuffers, I meant that is an airsoft gun I brought into school once but wouldn't have dreamt of letting a teacher seeing it. Showed it thinking the kid brought his gun in to play with at lunch breaks etc after completely missing the first line in the article - but then as someone else said, how come 3 teachers complained?

On a side note... my brother got a remark from his kid's teacher saying she doesn't like that the kid builds guns out of the building blocks etc.

Council is as council does....

[Jasandjules]

How odd, I took an air rifle into school - with permission of the teacher, for a "show and tell" type of day. No-one complained..

Doesn't say he pointed it at anyone or said he'd shoot anyone?!?

I used to keep a Gat gun in my school desk C1971

Ah, the Gat. Good times....

Was that a spud gun or was that one that fired little gold ball bearings?

Neither. Tiny air pistol that fired .177 pellets, corks or little feathered darts that came with it!

(Although mine was c1985)

[anonymous-user]

Corks, feathered darts and pellets if I remember correctly.
Every lad wanted a Gat Gun! Or a black widow catapult.

[RichB]

Ah right, my .177 air pistol was a Webley I think. The darts were bloody dangerous!
