Found this awesome looking Walther P99 blank firing replica. I don't know if it's really legal in the UK, but just how illegal could it be? Don't mind a fine, just don't want to go to jail because of it.

Just obviously not allowed to take them in a public area (basically outside)
Thats a very nice gun however, I might consider getting it
I have a Walther P99 BB gun and thats bad enough, especially as on the aforementioned program it stated that bb guns can be converted from being a bb gun to a live firing gun for as little as £30 on the black market. Hence the Government's crack down on replica guns.
So I'd be very careful if I were you.
People never learn do they
I can't find any information saying you need a license for a blank firer. Everywhere says there are proposals to ban blank firers which can be converted, but ones which cannot be converted seem fine. I am by no means sure about this but I can't find any information to the contrary.
Exactly, nicely put.
The feel of the recoil and round being ejected it's almost sexual and gives you a feeling of POWER Mwa Ha Ha Ha!!
It's a 9 mm blank fire gun. With a moderator. I do not like that gun.
I prefer the P22 or the PPK.
It's a collectable gun (number one of one thousand)
And.. yes it's not made by Walter, but by Umarex, another German gun maker. It's absolutely not convertible.
There is a new bill coming up in Parliment, mainly because of the rise in gun crime in the UK, but I don't know what restrictions it puts on Replicas,
I know guns that fire blanks need a licence, so I would never buy one, however I don't know how spring loaded or gas powered BB guns fit into this new bill.
don't know if the house of lords would pass it though, there all Gun Totting, Country estate owners anyway. we already got rid of their fox hunting, now they won't be able to fire guns on their own property, the shame.
You'll be able to own one, just not import.
So, the market will dry up.
But prices will grow up.
Your speech about the actual blank fire law is a bit made up you imagination.
Blank are still freely sold, make a tour on the UK Internet you'll find lotta respectable vendors selling blank fire guns.
The socialist proposition is not yet accepted, it's more a political stunt far away from the reality of gun murderer.
Deactivated and "real" blank fire guns CAN NOT be adapted to fire live ammunition's. Some old deactivated weapons or east manufactured gun were easy to be converted, but very rare nowadays.
Have a talk with your local gun dealer, he will explain you the real story.
And yes it's a pity not for the "rich" (fox hunting people) bur for all girls and boys who like paintball and BB guns. Anyway if T, Blair get the votes we will go on the continent to have fun.
And beware, after guns he could make a law to ban electric guitars and rock and roll.... lol
So we're allowed to own replicas but not import them, right.
