You wont be able to buy online due to a stupid change in the law a few years ago.

Just had another look and yer right - sorry Ocean, on reading further seems they're discontinued, plenty second hand on line. Though to be honest you could pick up something for the same price that shoots straighter.

Terrible accuracy and power. Always have a place in heart these things fond memories,

Thanks fellas
I know I could pick something up better these days,but I would just like one to bring back memories, and put a smile on my face

They bring back memories, me and my brother used to wear heavy Parker's and my dad's crash helmet and run about the garden trying to shoot one another, bloody frightening now but seemed like a good idea at 12!

My dad had one back in the 50's (I think it was a Gat anyway) It was so inaccurate that one day he got so frustrated with it he said to his pals that he was going to shoot his foot with it and if it missed it was going in the canal.....................................splash!

Great Little guns, there was the G10 ? Also which was fun too.

 

[ozzy1977]

I had a version of the g10, I think that it was a g15 with an extended mag.

You should have more respect for our esteemed MPs and the laws they draw up, it is all for your protection don't you know, you can't be trusted to look after yourself after going through compulsory education! I hear the Chinese are going to make a cheaper copy called the Gat-Ling gun!

The SP50 was better but it was still rubbish.

The CP88 air pistol is more fun but expensive. I'm just rebuilding one for a mate now.

 

[spandit]

The Gat was fun to shoot corks and darts with. The G10 is fun too - I've got one somewhere but haven't shot it for years

You could do more damage by throwing it.

Me to, old school paint balling, stupid but the things we do as kids

We used to play Russian Roulette with empty SP50's. Well getting smacked in the head with the plunger isn't Russian roulette but Russian roulette isn't clever either. If none of that made sense it's probably because I played too much Russian roulette with SP50's as a kid.

Mate of mine did that with a friend's Gat gun, he hadn't seen how the gun had been cocked but did know there was no pellet in it, put it to the side of his head and pulled the trigger. He was expecting a puff of air not a 3 inch plunger whacking him in the temple. Once he recovered we suggested a game of Russian roulette using an automatic pistol... so long as he went first. Not that we had access to an automatic pistol but I still think he'd have been up for it. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer ol' William

Never had a Gat gun just one of these: (see below) though mine was black and my brother and I would shoot them at each other all the time playing James Bond in the garden.
