THIS is a Walther air rifle...LG55 from about 1960 or so.
NICE! So, a Walther actually made by Walther?
Man that is nuts to have to do that for airgun pellets. The 12 fpe reminds me of this video of a 706 fpe airgun. Crazy!Jawohl. Waffenfabrik Karl Walther Ulm-an-Donau, to be precise. Air weapons do not require to be subjected to any kind of gun proof, either here in UK, or in Germany, or anywhere else that they are made.
German home-market air rifles/gun and air pistols are limited to 6 ft lbs m/e by law. For sale outside Germany air rifles are limited to 12ft lbs and pistols to 6ft lbs, unless specifically made to be otherwise. UK law observes these limits - anything with more than 12 ft lbs in UK is considered to be a firearm, and needs a Firearms Certificate to acquire and possess it.
In some countries - Scotland, for instance, ALL airguns must be registered. They reckon it might take another ten years or more to git 'er done... Northern Ireland? You need a Firearms Certificate for anything over 1 Joule - same for the Republic of Ireland, where you need a firearms license [a different thing altogether], to even buy airgun pellets. You are usually limited just like you would be for regular ammunition - many people can only buy 200 pellets at a time. Quite how that works out I'm not sure...
Y'see, it's not only the UK that has odd gun laws.............................
