Are CO2 guns not prohibited now?

No.

Wouldn't have taken long to check, either.

What I found odd was that I can buy a CO2 air pistol that looks exactly like a real hand gun (black, full metal, large barrel) that fires rather dangerous lead pellets with no problems.
To purchase an airsoft pistol that looks the same as the pellet gun but fires 6mm BB’s, requires an airsoft membership.

I’m pretty sure the pellet gun will cause more harm than the BB gun. The FPS is often higher (I seem to remember my old gas BB gun was under 300fps) with a CO2 at over 400fps.

Just for research purposes and nothing at all to do with cash burning a hole....got a link?

I used to have something similar years ago, found it wasn’t powerful enough for plinking glass bottles but was fine for tins.

Been clay pigeon shooting a few times now, got the hankering to buy my own shotgun a few years ago but the hoops you have to jump through (rightfully) to get a license put me off

Just ordered an Oculus Quest after trying one yesterday. I absolutely do not need this whatsoever. I really want it though! Guess Facebook will be spying on me even more now...

Looks like you can fit a moderator so the noise should not be a problem and then you can shoot spiders and flies in the living room!

The truck was just under 5k and the airbags were £280 delivered with the pump

I have one of these sets, so went to see what it's at. £90, I think I paid £150. Anyway, how do they advertise them as "better than half price" then reduce a £140 item to £90 (saving £50), pretty sure that's NOT half price...

It says "Better than half price on a range of Halfords Advance Socket sets" - but not the full range. Clearly not this item despite it having the banner underneath saying "better than half price"

I think my corner of the office is responsible for Exeter Halfords having no more stock available.

I'm just trying to buy some vouchers at 10% off, using the work voucher scheme thingy, which will bring it down to £49.50. Which is nice.

It's been reduced from £220 to £55. That's better than half price.

Can't seem to buy or reserve online. Is it a pricing mistake they've now pulled?

No it's still there, are you using the above link? They've got very limited stock apparently.

Yep. Click & Collect only, depending on branch availability.
