Thanks, Ebenezer.
There is one point I would like to correct you on - guns (using the generic term here to cover all type of firearms and airguns) are not weapons unless specifically employed as such.
When you get the opportunity again, please get this message across to your readers.

Thanks a lot Mack The Knife, Vikram and Nagarifle.
Mack The Knife - if you are referring to the 'air-weapons category' in the third para, that's where the features desk goofed it up. I had actually given it as 'air arms' (also not sure if this is the correct terminology). Please correct me if Iam wrong. Thanks
Regards
Ebenezer

Hi Ebenezer,
The term 'Air Arms' could be confused with a company in the U.K. with a similar name that primarily makes air-rifles. Best to stick with the generic term 'airguns' when refering to air-rifles or air-pistols be they smooth bore or rifled as a whole.
Infact the day is not far when there will be modern smooth bore guns that will still be able to impart spin to a projectile. However, I digress.
