Scythe,
He is saying he has a legal air rifle which does not need a license at this time. You are thinking of licensed weapons which are controlled by the Stasi..

That's fair.
My Rat-Catcher has a silencer on it, so they wouldn't notice a warning shot unless I missed over their heads and hit one in the head haha.

I have a problem with Rat-Catcher and it was that I really got through to much Co2 and ammo with the bloody thing, I loved the gun so much but it had to go.
Hmm got me wanting another Rat-Catcher this is not good, I am trying to resist buying one.
Ok let’s think negative reason for owning one, they are crap for post shtf as you not be able to shoot it when you run out of Co2, oh and also the power curve is well off on Co2 guns.
I still am thinking I want one lol, I mean a nice cold day and a prometheus equal lots of power.
Give yourself to the Dark-Side!
You can cut the butt off and half the barrel, then you have an above legal power air-pistol. But I never recommended that. It's just something people do.....so I've been told.

I am prepping with air guns in mind based on a previous post of mine. The plan is to have up to 10 fully loaded and ready to fire off. There are three adults in my group and we will all aim at the closest "invaders" face and fire off 4-5 shots in quick succession. This will drop anyone. His cohorts then have to carry either a corpse or a badly injured dead weight. It's a battlefield tactic, and it takes up plenty of "their" resource. Severely or fatally injuring any attacker will make others in the same group think twice, if you can display awe inspiring fire power. I know, air guns are not awe inspiring, but inflicting severe, bloody and traumatic injury to people who are not war hardened is.

modern air rifle's CAN be quite powerful, depending on what you've got, wife's Ratcatcher is about 6ft/Ibs, my SMK co2 is about 9ft/lbs but my Weirhauch is full power at 12ft/lbs, but they are all legal and dont need a FAC so i'm not on some Plod's radar, which suits me fine.
Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.
