I agree that it is a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. While it is true that airguns can cause serious harm in certain situations, the reality is that 'low powered air guns' aren't exactly the weapon of choice for criminals going out of their way to hurt people. focus as always should be on knife crime and other powerful firearms. on the rare occasion we do hear about criminal actions with air guns, it is dealt with very swiftly.

Yes it could affect paintball
Paintball currently legaly sits within 'air weapons' but with a 'frangible ammunition'

UKPSF is there to work on things like this., its likeback in the day when paintball was illegal in Scotland and close to the bone in England/Wales (depending on the interpretation of the laws intent as paintball used CO2 and not air)
In England/Wales the Home Office / Police sided on paintball being OK but legislation was changed with a lot of work by the UKPSF. In Scotland paintball sites were raided and owners arrested until the change in legislation.

Air guns are always a target for politcians in Scotland, sometimes just making a name for themselves, sometimes being very serious and making headway.
