[@siraff4461]

Andy would you mind doing a video on easy to load quickly gunss, please? I've had a Sig MCX for ages and its a great laugh but reloading the clips is a chore. I'm considering either pistol or rifle but I just want something I can keep firing without forced, long breaks and which is accurate and powerful enough for medium distance targets. For instance I can group the Sig within around 1.5-2.5 inches at around 50 yards which I feel is pretty good for what the gun is - though granted thats with cheap pellets and a lot of practice. Ideally I want to drop a handful of pellets/bb's in and let it run but I don't want something throwing projectiles in all directions. Is there a good, accurate bb gun or a better way of loading pellets? I would be really interested to see a comparison of a few with the ups and downs of each. Oh and cost isn't really a big issue unless we're getting into really high end stuff. I don't mind a few hundred quid or even a little more if its a good gun that I can look after for a long time.

I would be careful with this paintball marker, because it is capable of firing both shots (each shot exceeding 1ft/lb muzzle energy) with one pull of the trigger. I would stick with markers that only allow one shot per trigger pull.

Great video as always Andy, glad your firearms team has backed up what I've suspected for a long time, I bought my 16 Joule HDS 68 and 11 Joule HDP and HDR 50's from a well known U.K. RFD and was assured by them that they was classed as paintball markers and did not fall under the same rules as air pistols and rifles for power limits, they sent the 3 guns through the post to me at my work address. I trusted what they said and uploaded a few videos to my KZbin channel featuring these guns and as a result many of my friends went out and bought the same guns at the same power level from the same well known RFD, thinking there was no power limits I even converted some to run on HPA which resulted in crazy high power outputs. I do volunteer work for the Police and have asked several colleagues how they class the T4E range of "Home Defence" guns after they had a play with them at the range and they have also agreed that they should be classed as air pistols and should not exceed 8.1 joules or 6 ft/lbs of muzzle energy. I have now had all my T4E guns apart and fitted air restrictors and softer springs to bring the power down to below 7.5 Joules and updated my KZbin videos to try and warn others not to be in possession of what in the U.K. is classed as a section 5 firearm.

[@SkeletonXin]

This will not protect your family, even in the 16 joules version. It just doesn't have enough stopping power. A determined/drunk/drugged up aggressor will keep coming even if you hit him with both shots. The only kind of aggressor who would be discouraged by this (most petty burglars, for example) would run away as soon as they realize the house is occupied anyway. The real psycopaths, those wo will in fact hurt you and yours, won't be stopped by this. Your best options, aside from having strong locks and doors and a large dog or two, are: -A large can of strong pepper spray/gel (actual pepper spray, OC, not CS), gel is preferred indoors -A good melee weapon, baton (collapsible ASP-style batons are compact and easy to wield even if you're not very strong), baseball bat, club, machete; a knife is good as a last option but since it requires to get within kissing range of the aggressor, expect to get injured/killed in the process -A modern self-cocking crossbow like the EK Adder or the AR-6 Stinger. These have a rate of fire comparable to a bolt-action rifle, not great but a hell of a lot better than a conventional single-shot x-bow, and still higher than a classic hand bow (and easier to aim). If you pick that route you will need broadhead bolts, especially on the weaker types like the Stinger or the EK Vlad, the field tips will penetrate but won't stop the threat right away unless you hit the heart or brain (never aim for the head, always aim for the torso). And I now realize this comment is 2 years old but ih well. Hope it helps somebody.

Protect from what? Rain? Feral pigeons? Strongly worded letters? I'm a shooter but there only Gun Crime around my way is 1 bloke took out a drone that was overflying his land with a 12 guage. The number of illegal guns in circulation is so small it's virtually a non issue, hence why you're more than 4x less likely to be murdered or a victim of violennt crime in the UK than the USA and if you compare cities Chicago has about 30 times the murder rate of London. Part of it is due to living on an island with easier to police borders, partly due to concentrations of Poverty. In the UK basically poor people can't afford illegal guns, so armed robbery is very limited.
