Looking up the Home Office Guidelines, for another matter, I came across this:
It should be noted that the majority but by no means all guns powered by Carbon Dioxide which discharge paint pellets and which are used in adventure games are unlikely to cause serious injury, nor were they designed as "weapons". As such, they should not be considered to be "firearms".
This was taken from the 2002 Home Office Gudelines for Police.
Just to clarify, that means, contrary to what I and many others were lead to believe, that they are not classed as Airguns, and not classed as Firearms, therfore, Fire Modes are fine.
This is what I had been told, by reputable persons, but had not read seen it in black and white.
This is for those of you, who may also wish to see it in black and white.
The full HO Guidelines, can be viewed in PDF,
