    So you can't own a big LASER RIFILE. Like something out of Aliens or Star Trek. What do people in government seriously think you can cause trouble with a fictitious weapon that does not exist, except as a toy.
    Hey, you're preachin' to the choir here...

    It really annoys the hell out of me that the guys in the 501st Black Sheep Squadron (Star Wars Stormtroopers etc.) and guys who dress up as the Colonial Marines from Aliens get to carry their replica weapons at events, and yet because Stargate is set in "the real world" SG-999 get their collective ears chewed off for carring airsoft P90s - which are unloaded, have the battery packs removed, and a bright red safety cap over the muzzle.

    IMO, the P90 is a lot more sci-fi looking than the Pulse Rifle...

    Long before you and I were born, others beat these benches with their empty cups,
    To the night and its stars, to the here and now with who we are.

    Another sunrise with my sad captains, with who I choose to lose my mind,
    And if it's all we only pass this way but once, what a perfect waste of time.

      Oh don't worry we had a bigger fiasco here with the Transformers Megatron...

      They made a Masterpiece Megatron which was really expensive and like the original from the TV series it transformed into a gun. Well you had to get a special permit from the Police here to get one if you wanted to buy it online.

      you had to wait till customs held the item then produce a signed permit from the Police to get it released as it was classed as a "replcia weapon"

            A buddy of mine almost got the "rubber glove treatment" off a security guard at Cardiff airport cos they hadn't a clue what his toy Sonic Screwdriver was, and - apparently - thought it could be some kind of weapon...

              omg!!! that is so hilarious, but oh so wrong..... how can you live and work in Cardiff and not know what a sonic screwdriver is? even if you aren't a DW fan, that's still just shameful....

                Your parents are so tight arsed that you dare not let them know you read Torchwood magazines?????

                You could try using one of those prepay credit cards you can get in newsagents then.

                  actually they even don't know what Torchwood is let alone i watch it and it's not that... it's the fact that i'm spending money when i have no steady income... but since they have no control over the amount of hard cash i carry, they can't stop me from spending it

                      That's terrible..... Did he manage to explain what it was?

                      I have the Master's sonic screwdriver, and the Doctor's one too. There's also one with a UV light for sending secret messages on paper.

                      I can't believe I had to get a police permit to get a toy that isn't a gun, but that looks like a gun

                        Fortunately, one of the guard's colleagues was more "in the know" and explained things.

                        When I was a kid, back in the 70s, me and my friends used to run about daft during the sumer holidays playing at soldiers etc. We'd be absolutely dripping with various toy guns and so on.

                        Never did us any harm.

                          The reason for the law is not because they think having the toy guns will will harm the kids but that the toys may be used to commit "armed" robbery.

                          Apparently there were a lot of seven year olds holding up banks with water pistols

                            Which of course explains why modern water pistols are all made of bright neon coloured plastic...
