If it is true it would kill Airgun's as an industry and a sport in this country! For that cost I would just sell up my old air rifle albeit it would be virtually worthless due to everybody else doing the same thing! Of course as mentioned the Chavs with their cheap springers shooting dogs and baby's wouldn't bother. They would effectively make it more costly to shoot a far less powerful gun!

So I can use FAC air for plinking in my back garden?
Cheers.

I see no reason to disbelieve the £50 per year figure. There have been proposals to drastically increase the cost of shotgun and firearm certificates to 'cover costs' - so if you were bringing in a new system for air-guns you would easily be able to charge the full amount of the estimated costs. Anybody who argues is told it's for public safety. They also don't 'have' to have one if they don't like it. They'll be told the taxpayer should not have to subsidize people owning these 'lethal weapons'.
