Anyone know if it is possible to bring a bb gun in your checked luggage?
I found a nice pistol type one that uses the proper lead pellets not the useless plastic ones like you see. If it's easy then I may do it, it would be handy for the odd stray dog problem, not a big fan of guns.
Less than €200 and more conveniant than the rifle types.
Any ideas of prices in Thailand?
Just wondering what the implications are if any.
What's a bb gun?
fires ball bearings^
Slingshot is good enough once you get the hang of them...be careful not to shoot ur thumb, though.
I'm willing to bet money that you can't. I believe BB guns are considered the same as most other firearms here. I seem to remember DD having something to do with their importation a few years back.Quote:

Security will immediately have you assume the position whilst they proceed with a cavity search of your person... Unless this is a windup, then sure, have at it...
BB guns look exactly like the original ones, they made them illegal here and elsewhere in Europe recently, mostly because robbers got away with "unarmed robbery" when using them to rob a bank. :rofl:

I think there is no way they let you through customs with that, even in checked-in baggage.
A slingshot sounds like a better advice.
Doesn't make them legal but I've seen BB and pellet guns for sale in many shops in Roiet. I think Tex bought one in Udon but had the "useless plastic" BBs.Quote:

I had a pellet gun made in China, not a very good one but was the one used to train kids I guess as it looked like an Chinese army rifle, and was 117 pellets which aren't sold around here and I heard it was not legal to own it, but it wasn't worth a fuck anyway.
had one in the states that I used to kill woodpeckers that came to drill holes in my house walls,
Those are the only BB gun stories you got BG? LAME........
Thought it was .177 not .117?
I brought a lever action Daisy Red Rifle thru my checked baggage about ten years ago. I asked security if it was ok, they said no problem.
^Into Thailand?
I'll probably flag it as I don't need the hassle.
It fires lead pellets not ball bearings so I guess it's not a bb gun as such. 4.5mm calibre
.177 caliber (4.5mm). Most of these air pistols fire either 4.5 mm BBs or pellets.Quote:

No You Didn't, It was a Daisy Red Rider BB gun, which was made to look like a Mdl. 92 or 94 Winchester saddle carbine.Quote:

I thought it was "Red Ryder". I had one too. Was taken away from me for similar reasaons. With me it was beer bottles. I set them up in our basement positioned with the top openings toward me. The object was to shoot the bottoms out through the openings from 20 feet away. Did very well. Destroyed 7 cases of beer bottles. 24 bottles to the case.
My parents did not appreciate my accuracy though. Each bottle was worth a deposit refund from the dealer. Circa 1945.
Think both terms were commonly used but the company called it Ryder. All I remember was that lever action sure as hell didn't work near as well for me as I saw the cowboys do in the movies.:(

Right, and even had the saddle ring on the sumbitch.
That lever was a bitch if your finger was under it and you torched a round off, hurt like a bitch.
^ Careful, you'll put your eye out!!! :)
I had one as a kid also... All the kids in my neighborhood used to play 'Army' with them, firing BB's back and forth at each other... No one lost an eye BTW...
Jeez, you sound like my mother! Always the risk of putting out an eye in her assessment. Falling down and breaking your neck was another consequence of risky behavior. The there was the going blind prediction.Quote:

But he was kind of a retard anyway.Quote:

we scared off the local gang with a handful of those once, they fled like jelly babies
taking it it apart oughta help.
my friend just bought a bb gun in mukdahan for 2000 bt with the lead ball`s:sexy:
I thought every boy and even some girls had Daisy Red Ryder BB guns. I also had a pair of really nice Stallion cap pistols that were great. Didn't look like cheap shit either. But, when playing either war or cowboys and indians you NEVER shot anyone above the waist..... didn't want to put out an eye! :-)

You can buy production made 'air rifles' in Thailand at any gunshop, but I believe you need a licence. You can also get home made ones out in the rural areas, but obviously these ones are not legal.
