Hey everyone!

Just a quick reminder for all of you thinking about getting
an arrow air rifle or an arrow air handgun like these:

I have nothing to do with these guys, though)


In Germany, as of 2020-09-01, you will need a WBK for this type of guns.
So if you got the money, now might be a good time to spend it. :-)

Crossbows are not affected, AFAIK. So you can buy this:

are you telling me this was legal up to now but a pellet gun as in air rifle with similar firepower was not? This looks a lot more harmful, how many joules of firepower does one of these have? Or is that scope just for show?

And up to the mid 1970s or so, when Germany had a bit of common sense left, you
could freely buy these, as long as you were at least 18 years old:

that looks a little ... dubious, but their information regarding weapon sales
in the seventies is correct nevertheless).

I know I'm a month late, but 104 J of energy is a decent amount.

Simple physics (E=mgh) indicates that's about the same energy you get when dropping 10kg of payload from height of 1m. Imagine a 10kg stone with a sharp end being dropped onto your head from 1 meter above it. Ouch. Don't actually try it, believe science this time. Or test on a composite plaque instead of your head like the guy in video.

Don't worry, no foolhardy Russians around.

Oh, hey Draik, hey Victoria! ;)
