News article, big bore airguns seized in HK

AGN mods may take this down as being political but I thought it should be shared regardless. 

According to South China Morning Post, HK Police seized 200 airguns, big bore airguns and modded airguns (highly illegal there), at least one was confirmed from the USA.

Who do I need to talk to to get them and "destroy them" ?

You can't run over folks at a protest with a tank, smear their bodies into the asphalt, and not think they would retaliate in some fashion one day if they had the chance.

Can't read the article without paying.



Though can about guess that they are making things sound way more scary than they really are.

i doubt it mentions that these are 1-2 shot rifles, that are 40+ inches and 10+lbs lol.

i see a maverick? a bulldog, a few xp's and a zeus at the bottom. they did give the AEA numbers for the energy a zeus puts out in the paragraph that is there.

Those weapons had a muzzle capacity of 2,000 joules – a measurement of kinetic energy. By comparison, a 9mm pistol can produce 500 to 900 joules, while a riot gun has a muzzle capacity of 1,700 to 2,200 joules.
