This is the airsoft forum. We use plastic BBs so you might not get the answer here.

what you have is an air rifle, different to airsoft. i presume your looking for

pellets? the shooting forum would be the place to ask, plastic bb's would be

no use to you

if he has a licence for an air rifle he's not breaking any laws, he has an air

rifle, not an airsoft rifle, i myself have an air rifle, theres a difference, and

airsoft guns cant fire metal bb's they havent got the power to

yes....grossly if it is unlicensed!

anything topping 328 needs a licence or you are in posession of an

UNLICENSED firearm.

10 years as i said, you have a licence....dont you?

NO, have you read the newbie and the airsoft forum charter?

an airsoft rifle above a joule is no longer an airsoft, but a FIREARM

328 with metal pellets would be over a joule anyway heck it might even be 2 joules. 500fps and your a lot lot higher

As has been pointed out numerous times already, what you have there is an air rifle.

Just to further clarify everyone who pointed out that 328fps is the legal limit, NO ITS NOT, 1 Joule is the legal limit, which is 328fps with a 0.2g bb, however 328fps with anything heavier than 0.2g is most definitely above the legal limit

You 100% definitly need a licence for that is this country and will need the licence to get more amunition for it. This is the Airsoft forum, airsof guns arn't firearms, what you have is definitly a firearm and their are manditory severe penalties for being caught without a licence.

In the UK you don't need a licence. I'd suggest you sort you self out and if you have more questions head over to the shooting board.
