From: "jim.craig", [EMAIL PROTECTED] I received this from the guns2u people after a query regarding the importation of some of the blank firers they are advertising. Any cybershooter know what the legal situation id re these guns? ----- Original Message ----- From: Info @guns2u.com <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > We cannot advise on legality... we are not legal experts!

I've seen a blank-firing revolver with an offset escape hole through the barrel that the FSS thought was okay. Personally I think they're a complete waste of time, I've only found one, the Umarex P88 Compact knock off, that actually works reliably. Steve.
