762, black guns do not blow my skirt up either but hey as long as it shoots stuff then whats not to like :shakeshout:

My point was that it's not a 'proper' black gun (AR) of which I'm a big fan.

Indeed

I'd like to see the BASC and NRA make a formal complaint to the Press Complaints Commission. We need to be on the front foot to stop this sort of nonsense immediately.

I just went on the website the Sun attacked...that specific GSG actually only comes with a 10 shot rotary magazine and the Scope is not included

Compare that to what they mostly sell...yes there are a couple of GSG's in there

8 out of 44 firearms were GSG's and all accesories are sold seperately

Wish I could get that sort of accuracy from my 22s; "accurate at a mile"????? 25 yards & I'm struggling some days!

Anyone can complain to the PCC: http://www.pcc.org.uk/complaints/makingacomplaint.html

Speaking with the day job hat on, go for it. The Sun is covered by the PCC, and I encourage you to write and complain.

Taking the work hat off ... complaining to the PCC won't do much, and it'll have zero effect with the Sun's investigations department because, being one of the biggest newspapers in the UK, they're a law unto themselves. But do it anyway, as it might have an effect with someone, somewhere.

I'll email matey boy at lunch and copy the text onto this thread.

I was under the Impression that .22's effective range was 150 yards for rabbits....its the ballistic range thats 1.5 miles....while I know .338 Lapau (Max effective range 1,200m) in the L115a3 holds the longest shot in combat at 2,475m

Didn't take long:
