Versatile.

I can back up what mo says about FAC being harder to obtain.

For my application, the civilian officers came out, were utter bastards, treat me like a massive criminal despite never having been charged with an offence ever (basically implying I can't be trusted with a gun & I had no chance, all because I've reported bent coppers previously. She said "it appears I'm anti police") & blatantly lied about what I could apply for & told me my shooting club had given me incorrect information. After checking home office guidelines the advice from the club was spot on & the copper staff lied to my face.

Last I heard, they had requested a medical report, my GP replied saying "yes it'll be £xx" and the police never came up with the money for the report.

Plus I don't rate their efficiency for a paid for service. I applied 17th November, application received the next morning. Home visit early January & now it's nearly Easter & not heard 1 way or another.

You're right about the weight of 22lr though. You can carry a box of 50 & not even know you have it.
