Who knew? Foreign Power Limits

[Bren]

Just been watching a vid about the AP16 in Russian and had the subtitles on, I never knew the legal limit for an air pistol without a license in Russia was so low at 3j/2.2fpe. It makes me feel much happier about our 6fpe law though

Over a1 joule (0.74 ft/lbs) and you need a license in Scotland . Maybe the Russians have it better than the Scots do

And varied across the EU which is odd given you would expect a member state standard, you had to be very careful what you ordered prior to the Brexit changes, especially Portugal where a rifle can be a whopping 24J

I just never expected the Russians to have a much lower limit than us in England

In some respects, we do ok with our limits here in Wales and England at present, as they’re enough to get most things done. In some European countries where the limit is higher, they can’t hunt with them, so its purely target use.
Sorry, just looked at the section title and of course my reference is to rifles. I wouldn’t hunt with a pistol and prefer my rifles for pest control too.

Can’t imagine that law in Russia being followed, they tend to ignore things like that.

Remember going into a club in Moscow about 15 years ago, queuing at the cloakroom to leave our coats when this girl in front of me was asked to leave her pistol with her coat, rather than take it inside in her bag ( and I ain’t talking Airguns)
