Thats miles away from me man. Thanks for offer anyway. Bit crap that you cant go shooting .45 caliber, which I love and can.

Link to KWC's 2013 airgun catalogue if anyone is interested, this one has airsoft mixed in with it.

Its a shame SMK became Cybergun UK, as that's likely to put the scuppers on a UK distributor bringing KWC gear in direct. And it really is a shame, 'cos not only is KWC's stuff some of the best made replicas on the market, they also seem to hold the proper licenses for the guns they are replicating, unlike Cybergun.

As much as it pains me to reply to you, it's the HW45 Black Star. It also comes with a laminated anatomical grip.

Got a friendly HFT competition on Sunday. The forecast of snow and 40mph winds should make it interesting to say the least

Yeah that's a bit far!

I'm wondering if this round or the southerns will be postponed. It's a bit of a way to go with the "ROAD CHAOS!!!!" that is all over the tv.

Anyone use this? I am building my shooting range and looking for cool things to shoot.

SimonCHere · 22 Jan 2013 at 10:09

Things like that are always fun, the range I go to has a buffalo one. We have a go to see who can knock all 4 down and reset in the fastest time.

I see you've joined Airgunforum. They seem to be a good bunch.

Joined airgunforum and I am shocked at the list of reasons people have been banned there for. You guys seen this:
http://www.airgunforum.co.uk/forums/ban_log.php?

REASONS FOR BAND INCLUDE:

- selling unregistered firearm (guntrader is for that)
- Hot headed idiot who thinks that a better air gun forum exists..... Good luck!
- Coz ime a heartless ******* and you are a ****. Dont sign up again!
- Banned pending investigation of fraud (better burn all the evidence)
- Insulting and trying to rip off our members. Not a true airgun enthusiast, just out to make money.
- Possessing a pt 1 firearm with no licence
- Openly condoneing illegal activities.
- Foul and abusive language toward a forum member (quite common on OCUK)
- Underhanded sales tactics and bad forum etiquette (account for about 30% of ebay activity)
- Fraud, Insulting mods, being unhelpfull towards other members
- Spamming/advertiseing and bad use of queens english!
- Repeatedly letting other forum members down (a traditional practice on OCUK)
- Admitting to owning an airgun whilst prohibited from owning airguns (how dumb can you be)

This list goes on! People are more sensitive there than OCUK. Which is saying a lot!

SimonCHere · 22 Jan 2013 at 12:22

You will notice though that most of the reason are because the person was doing something illegal with a firearm.
Saying one here. "OMG I haz pwned this gfx crd up to Mega High speeds" isn't going to bother anyone (other than killing the English language).
Saying on there "I just turned my pcp up to 20 fpe and shot it through my garden fence lol"
is admitting an illegal act.
