    Do you mean an Airsoft toy gun or a BB Gun, like an Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle! You know, you'll shoot your eye out. --Pitts

You may be able to buy all of those, but walking around with them or flashing them in public may get some unwanted attention.

Funny actually, in the Big C near me there is a stall just next to the checkouts selling some pretty mean looking swords and nucle dusters plus various fake guns, dont think you would get that in the UK

Yeah! I was looking for a power converter to use for some gadgets I bought overseas but found a bunch of tazers instead. Then again, I should have put two and two together when I saw the replica guns ("hey there's some illegal weaponry, I wonder if they would also have a step down converter for me to use with some wireless headphones I got from Japan").

No. I saw a Chinese man getting arrested at Don Muang airport for trying to get a taser through.

Yes, they are legal, but you're not allowed to carry them on you (knives) unless you have a proper reason. For example, if you were to go on an adventure jungle tour, you'd be allowed to carry a machete, if you were to go to Khao San Road, then you wouldn't. I'm not sure about the tazers, but I would imagine they're legal to carry for protection.

Are air rifles leagle in thailand to own

I bought a knife once on Khao San Rd because it was a handy size and design for mountaineering. I got searched by the police later in the night and they just took it off me without saying anything (about the knife, that is).

Depends on the mood and bank balance of the person who catches you with it. (in Thailand).

There are no real firearms for sale. As for the legality of the tazers, knuckle-dusters and flicknives I rarely carry mine around and the police could view such items in different lights depending on if you were a 'quality tourist', a seedy tourist or a T party neo con with sex problems.

The guns are BB guns and you can buy them in the UK I checked it out on Google a few company sellers came up in the UK. As for Tazzers no way very illegal. Swords and knives ok just declare them at customs, you collect knives and swords tell them you should be ok.

Britain does not have BB guns. We do have air pistols. Swords and daggers are illegal unless they are designated antiques or you have a collectors license of some sort. They would be confiscated at customs.

Brittain has bb guns and also knuckle dusters ..you just need to know where you can buy them.

They are not illegal to own only illegal to carry about your person (in the uk)

Knifes and swords if you are a collector then you can get a collectors licence which allows you to own them in the UK.

For home use only.

They're not illegal to own if you keep them at home and you'd probably get away with using them on intruders.

I've got a BB gun at my home in the UK - I bought it on Ebay - and it is legal.

Not an expert but is it true that crossbows are silent? Mind you, my only reference is Daryl from the walking dead, in which being silent is a necessity to ensure not drawing attention from the mass zombie horde

It doesnt make much of a sound... If someone broke in to my house lets say a zombie... and I was home the cross bow would come out.. Pistol if I missed... Not as good a shot as the walking dead guy..
