Yair - good way to get shot:-)
Me and the Missus were returning to Oz after attending pistol shooting
competitions in Finland and UK with 2 large suitcases of pistols. Heathrow
was being patrolled by pairs of coppers with submachine guns. The checkin
'droid wanted us to open the suitcases so he could inspect the pistols (even
though BA already had full details of them on his computer screen). I
refused, insisting that if the cases were going to be opened it was going to
be on HIS side of the counter. You could hardly blame a copper on
anti-terrorism patrol for opening fire if he saw a customer starting to
stand up with a pistol in his hand! Anyway, he insisted on seeing 'em so
the cases were opened on his side of the counter - before he charged us

Are they anything like the BFG5000 or the Devastator?

No - haven't travelled to shoot for years now - my pension is creeping up so
I just shoot for fun rather than competitively :-) In the (hectic) good
ole daze I've shot in Finland, Holland, US and Germany and been to a couple
of Pistol ADs at Bisley. Those Bisley shoots were unbelievable - huge
trade displays, bazillions of different matches - schmick the duck. Then
the stupid Pom gummint went and ruined it...

See above - too old and lazy now
Even to the extent I'm considering selling my "spare" pistols - such as the
S&W Mod 52 with 4 6-shot mags - was set up for Service Pistol.

About 15 years ago a chap down here was building hours towards an ag
job- he was employed to fly an ultralight fitted with a shotgun over
an almond orchard scaring the nasty almond-eating birdies away.
Next door neighbour took exception when peppered with some shot and
mentioned this system to the local CASA folk. Employer and pilot were
duly prosecuted on the grounds that in Oz, the RAAF reserves the right
to have guns fixed to aircraft......
Saw him again recently, he got a bit of a fine and a slap on the
wrist. He said that as he was leaving the court, he noticed a wry
smile on the face of the magistrate, who was an older chap, possibly
of WWII vintage.....
