JUST SO EVERYONE KNOWS : IT WOULD BE ILLEGAL TO CARRY AN AIRGUN FOR SELF DEFENCE IN THE U.K
JJR SURVIVAL move to the US mate....get you some real guns.
JJR SURVIVAL the UK is just like France: only criminals can get guns easily!
Where did you see those videos?
An 18year old man just lost his life after a 15year old and 17year old pulled a knife on him at a birthday party in my home town in Cheshire a couple of days ago. The UK laws on Self-defence and protection are an utter disgrace as the victim was left screaming whilst he was dying. With violent crimes against other people it should not be illegal to be prepared for the unexpected especially when none law abiding citizens are carrying lethal weapons which they are clearly prepared to use. Something in law has to change because the violent criminals out there pose a threat in just about every situation. My heart bleeds for the family who just lost their son.
Air guns in the wrong hands are extremely dangerous and the video your refer to was an smk s2 which is a low powered budget air gun which you can buy for less than £40. If you actually watch the video properly after seeing the blood he is clearly shocked and this is a normal physical response of the human body. There are many different types of air guns and like I said anyone who believes they are not dangerous or potentially lethal is deluded. Self defence is a very grey area and as you know only reasonable force may be used proportionate to the circumstances. Being shot by an air gun with 500 FPS or a rifle with 900 FPS I think not ... the outcome could be very different and as the video shows even a cheap airgun has caused an injury that requires medical attention ! A visit to AE and worst case a death and prosecution. These types of guns are guns and not toys and can seriously hurt. If you were in a life and death situation in your home and it was the only thing you could access then yes it may go some way in deterring an intruder and there was a such a story in the papers several years ago. Taking such action could put you the wrong side of the law .... an informative video but it needs to take into account what was used and in this case it was ( a cheap Chinese ) air pistol. In addition to this you hear the guy say I can carry this if I want to ! NO YOU CAN’T ! You cannot buy anything or carry anything with the sole intention of using it for self defence and you certainly cannot enter public areas with an air gun without good reason and it must be in a suitable case ( e.g. travelling to and from shooting range ) like the video but it’s content is misleading and inaccurate ! Let’s hope the perpetrator was prosecuted ... and my comment Does not advise about taking such action as self defence but it does outline the potential consequences of doing so. No one would want to be in this situation and for real we would all attempt to preserve our own lives but must remember the law too !
Definitely no good using a air pistol for self defence! We need a proper form of second amendment over here so we can defend our loved ones and property’s effectively, properly! Best wishes brother 👍🏽👍🏽😎
With you on that!
No you don’t 😂 Don’t need a gun to defend yourself.
@@DovahBaa depends how many people can't say for every situation a gun was not needed everyones experience is different
@@DovahBaa Yes you do, just read about all the times in America where people have saved their own and others lives with a gun
Use a high powerd 22 caliber air rifle
That can kill somebody. An air pistol 177 caliber will not stop a treaht
There's simply no stopping power in an air gun, better chance of them just seeing a gun and running off.
No stopping power🤓
It’s a peice of metal in your body i 100% promise you that you will be on the floor
Im a felon in the usa so i guess im kinda in the same boat u guys are over there for home defence. I have children now and its a hard pill to swallow that there is laws against me being able to protect my family. Guess ill be taking some tips from yal cause uve been dealing with this. Best of luck to everyone over there!!
cheers mate .i hope you can think of something that will work , i know a lot of people over here keep crossbows at home , we cannot hunt with them but we can have them for target practice , but as for on the street stuff everything has to be low key or hidden if you know what i mean
you can purchase a big bore airgun no background check or registration sent to your house , they are strong enough to go through a human and kill a deer standing behind him , youtube bigbore airgun hunt
#Z.X.R. ! : you can own percussion/black powder revolvers & rifles,shotguns in "some states" as a felon. Of course it takes some time to master the art of using those types of firearms. Best to check your local laws on such subjects just to be safe, every state is different governing firearms laws. If anything else always carry a good sharp folding/locking straight blade pocket knife. & a small pepper spray for concealed carry & a large bear spray for home.
Great video Malc.
Those old gat guns used to give my mate a good dead leg when it popped out haha hardly security thought. I had a 21 shot co2 1911 that I had for security , it wasn't that powerful, maybe break the skin but it was the speed you could unload those 21 shots into a face if needed , if they kept coming then I'd feed the bloody thing to them but yes I think you'd be better off with a catapult having a heavier projectile . Plus the air gun comes under firearms when being cross examened for self defense and we know how that goes in this country even if you have a license and shoot them on your own property when fearing for your life. Prison! I'd stick with knives and bats for home defense . My house is rigged for home invasion, every picture on the wall has a carving knife taped to the back of it so if I'm stuck in any room I have a couple of knives and a hammer with a landyard tucked somewhere. Spears is what I want to make for every room though as I don't wish to get that close to trespassers , thrust form a distance until it's up close and personal then pull my carving knife and game over. I've always said to my bird if a home invasion was to happen both play terrified and cooperate so they drop their guard, calm down and don't see me as a threat giving me a chance to tool up and end it swiftly.. not too swiftly though coz I'm gonna av some fun with the bastard ... Probably wouldn't even ring the old bill coz when they see what I'd done to them I'd probably be sectioned ... Easy to just go missing in these hills and plenty do.. I don't dout these wild fires we are having will expose a few shallow burried corpse's in the area haha . Spears mate Spears are the best thing for home defense haha how can a million zulu's be wrong.
Gamo Swarm Magnum .22 , 1300 fps , 30 fpe . Multiple shot 10 round magazine to the face , throat, groin , heart , lung , kneecaps, shinbone , hands , forehead, eyes 😀
It is BEYOND RIDICULOUS that it's illegal in this country to PROTECT YOURSELF by owning a gun! Criminals who carry real guns don't give a pig's arse about laws and don't get caught but law abiding citizens who only want to protect themselves and don't do anyone any harm go to prison for the crime of being prepared.
BB and pellet guns have different characteristics. BBs aren't worth it, but I think heavy pellets would cause damage at close range. Plus, if you were to unload 8 pellets into the attacker's face they'd be too disorientated and in too much pain to think about fighting, I reckon.
Normally people use flat head, or round head pellets, there are (as you know) pellets that have a nasty point to them. surely the pointed pellets could enter further into the flesh and cause damage where there is no bone? What is your view on this?
Thumbs up and thanks for the information, Malc. I recently purchased a CO2-powered, semi-automatic BB pistol. For target practice. The manufacturer says it holds 20 BBs, but I can only seem to load 19 in the magazine. They also claim it shoots at 480 ft/sec, but with such a light weight BB, it only manages less than 3 ft-pounds of force.
The gun is also mostly plastic, so it wouldn’t make much of a club for bludgeonning... lol
Paintball gun would be better
I love that Predom pistol. Such style in its design....
Great vid! Interesting points!
Blessings

Hey Malc,
Good talk. Your conclusion sounds like very good advice.
As I understand "air guns". I think, here in the US, they are rated by how many "fps" (feet per second) the projectile will travel. 1 pump/cock pistols with those replaceable CO2 cartridges/tanks get around 200-300 fps. Multi pump rifles get up to 850 fps. Those nice single shot single pump (break barrel) ones get 1200-1500 fps. For perspective, I can tell you that if I pump my air rifle 10 times (the max) it will be at 850 fps and using a lead pellet I have taken rabbits with 1 head-shot at 20-30 yards.
One of my 60 year old kitchen Porter showed me his hitting 40 joules. Plus our bows are better rated then that mate with a shotty license before they got gun grabbed brought a 75 pounder x bow over kill for most of our bucks and does
Hi Malcolm. I had to come back. You got me thinking about the air gun thing. I viewed a video there's other stuff to calculate, like "Joules", the weight of the projectile and distance... so... anyway. Catch you on the next one.
I suppose if you shot them in the knee it might slow them down a bit ( I rather think a full power air rifle would drop them and make them have a nice little writhe and howl if you did that with it at close range ). But really the best thing to do an air pistol would be to throw the thing at their head and either run like a good 'un, or hit them round the ear with something solid while they were dodging it.
Full power air rifle to the kneecap and you wouldn't be walking after that for sure.
A double or triple banded slingshot would be far more effective and faster to reload imho, The extra weight of a 10mm steel ball would stun them well enough to give them a good kicking while you re load for another blasting, preferably in the bollix !! I challenge anyone to have a slingshot pulled at max stretch to the bollix and don't buckle. Just saying, Now go and get one and never regret it and keep it by your back door in case ,aim for lower area, bollix, shins etc . point at the face to stop them , then immediately re angle your line of fire prior to shooting to the groin. job done
Good video as ever Malc.some sensible advice mate you are right a UK air pistol us not ideal for self defence.however I would not like to get shot by one of my co2 non blow back pistols such as my tolmar as it shoots at around 500 fps 20 shot BB ,if they were all unloaded at me It would stop me in my tracks for sure.
There are clearly far better options for self defence in the uk though.BTW I got a couple of those non locking knives yesterday like you got on holiday.great for the price.ATB.
Mybe it would have to be hpa and a 50cal p rex pistol or a free bird /mod drozd black bird full auto 4000 round a min those would be the first two if I had to only if I had to there is only a handful that could work if really need to. Only if I was in life or death.if Your going to die anything worth trying. I never give up and go out bare hand.
good to know
He is very lucky he wasn't shot in the eye. What's more multiple shots fired rapidly in the face will do awful amounts of damage. Even CO2 pistols like daisy 426 with 18 shot can be deadly weapon. Just brandishing the weapon in self defense could help, as only 8% of gun owners had to actually shoot in home intruder cases.
Interesting facts. Thanks
Most definitely No
Not enough power,
Thanks for sharing 👍
Yes but its better then nothing
You are absolutely right; a lot of air gunners overstate the stopping ability of an air gun to the point of fantasy. A .177 pellet might not even penetrate a leather jacket far enough to be felt. Even if it does hurt him, if he is carrying a firearm, you are going to lose. They may be better than nothing in the UK, where firearms are rare. In the US, some PCP air rifles reach 200 FPE, which is about the same as a .38 revolver, but most are single-shot and impossible to conceal. Winchester makes a powerful .45 caliber five-shot rifle of around 200 FPE, and I would keep that handy (however, the tank must be filled, which also makes it impractical, and it is an expensive gun). Evanix makes a 7-shot .25 caliber PCP revolver that is easier to carry, but far less lethal (around 40 FPE). A .22 or .177 just would not make me feel safe, although a good repeater would do enough damage that you'd have a chance to run. A knife or baseball bat can be more lethal.
I’d rather load up my 6 shot .22 rifle and go to work on someone than pull a bat or blade on them and end up in hospital or a in a box myself, either of these outcomes will be the case 100% of the time, you can’t win knife fights without getting cut! Also you say Air rifle owners overestimate the power of their rifles, and the reality is that a .177 may not even penetrate a jacket, would you like to test it out? I’d wager any man or women to stand 10-15 foot away from me and my 6 shot .22 rifle, take a clip to the body and then not need to go and get medical assistance, there would be no one willing because we all know the outcome.
@@JamesLoudMouth19981imagine they take the bat or knife away from you cause you was too close …I’ll stick with my air pistol and keep my distance 😩
slingshots can be deadly and they are easy to make/maintain
use it as a club as you said, regards kev
I have a daisy powerline 495fps holds 21 steel bb's they would pierce your face and make you think twice
Never use any gun as self defence in uk just use a piece of wood or iron bar
TOO RIGHT MATE
I'm mixed on this,,I purposely required a gas semi auto airsoft pistol for in home defence, my theory being 18 6 mm stainless steel ball bearings in the face would "" soften up " intruder, I'd then put into action my follow up plan, I may add , I do crossbow maintenance at extremely odd hours, so chances are there's a readied crossbow,
Only last night we had armed police in our street because of fighting niebours, which in turn has made me beef up in home defence and offence. The garden is always rigged up,
It's such a shame 30 years ago,I'd never think of litraly arming my family in our family home, I remember Great Britain, England, I do not recognise the multicultural, multimedia, multi BOLLOCKS our once mighty nation has been turned into. Jus my pennies worth.
full auto kwc co2 uzi would stop them
TokyoChicken lol, how odd, yes, I'm looking at them now, struggling to get spare magazines from same supplier, but I agree, quite powerful in consideration, plus, they do look nice eh ,,
i had one, powerful for a blowback, easy to mod to full auto, can smash glass bottles easy but eats co2
Yep I'm sick of it don't recognise my own country anymore.. Only gonna get worse Un migration pact incoming so we can expect more biological weapons.
haha in the dutch here we have .22 6.35 mm .9mm 7.62 45 and 50 caliber airguns you can get it without a license.! firearms is a no go deal here in holland.
Eyeshot or its not gonna do that much damage at all some people would just shrug it off. Air rifle 11.5ftlb would be a but more effective but to be honest your better off hitting them with it. Even my crossman 2240 that's nearly 6 I wouldn't even think of using for self defence.
using my airgun to shoot annoying bugs and spiders (just with the airblow without a bb pellet)
:))
Hear in the USA are airgun even 177cal can shoot a two by four through a two by four and can kill a hog with one good shot hey look at a video hear on RUclips called 177vs 400 pound hog a man shots a hog in the hade and shot the right 177cal pellet can kill a big hog just look at his video and look at guys hunting pigs with gamo airguns
Crossbow
what air pistol is that? thanks
my answer is no
I woild be more then happy for even pepper spray to be used nevermind airguns
I got shot by my sister once, I was only 13 I got very pissed off lol
Not if he was shot in the eyes he go down like right now
yea agreed, UK air rifles just dont have the LBge to be useful as a weapon
8 years old
IT WOULD BE BETTER NOTHING AT ALL!! BETTER TO HAVE AN AIRGUN AND YOUR HANDS , THEN JUST YOUR HANDS, WOULD IT NOT??
Paul Mason totally agree . But I wouldn't depend just on the stopping power of an air gun
I did this video that shows how some air pistols could be quite useful for defense ruclips.net/video/Rx8lN0cRLEk/видео.html.
YES LEGISLATION YOUR RIGHT USE AN AIR RIFLE IN YOUR OWN HOME AND MAKE BURGLERS SCREAM IN THE RIGHT PLACE
Or just move to the states and buy a real gun😂
