I must agree though, I get really paranoid when I go out shooting with my air rifle. From a distance it could easily be mistaken for a powder burner; all it takes is some nosey do-gooder to assume I'm some sort of terrorist for the ARV unit to take an interest in me with their mp5's
gah. More so when you consider the UK does not generally have the same familiarity with firearms as the US.
