Never give loaded weapons to the Mentally Challenged
It was an air pistol luckily but it still hurt like a bitch.

Im sure theres some b3tards who have owned a Webley Tempest at some point. My dad got me one for my 14th Birthday and I instantly ran outback to pop empty beer cans with a look of sheer glee on my face.

A few hours into the day and many family visits later Im getting to the last of the 500 pellets that came with the gun.

Heres where my mistake came. Theres a member of the family everyone effectionately refers to as "Bubbles". Im not sure how it came to be but Im not quite sure everything in his head connects together the way it should. If it connects at all.

I recocked the pistol ready for another shot and he asked for a go. Why not I thought. I handed him the pistol and went to set the cans up again. I got about two steps before I heard a loud crack and felt a sharp pain in my hand.

I can only guess from where I was hit he attempted to shoot me in the backside.

Little twat.

Ah, the Webley Tempest!
You bring back many happy memories.

I once shot a carthorse in his huge, dangling scrotum with one of those. Cruel? Yes.

He wasn't happy.

You try being shot in the balls
with about 4ft/lbs of muzzle energy! I fucking bet he wasn't happy! I didn't own a Tempest but I had a Premier mk2 which is essentially the same sort of weapon, much to the envy of many of my friends. GAT's, G10's, they can fuck right off next to the might of Webley & Scott.

:-) happy memories!!
Ownership of a Webley Tempest was like a Bah Mitzvah where I grew up. You got one when you were 14, and promptly put all your childish things away..

And lurked about shooting rats in barns, or letting your mentalist boyfriend shoot you on the arse, if you're my mate...

Top tip 1 - don't use an old radiator as a target in your uncles garage with his .22 oversprung jobbie.

Top tip 2 - if you are attempted to perform top tip 1, don't stick your tongue out while aiming.

Top tip 3 - a bucket's a good thing to have at hand if your tongue starts to bleed heavily. Not too large mind, no need for anything over 5L or so, that'd just be a waste of plastic.
