This is a question Waste of money

I once paid a small fortune to a solicitor in a legal case. She got lost on the way to court, turned up late with the wrong papers and started an argument with the judge, who told her to "shut up, for the love of God". A stunning investment.

Thanks to golddust for the suggestion

Was there a change to the law recently?
I seem to recall that there was no legislation regarding catapults at all. What does the law say now?

The law now states that yes, go on then, use a catapult but...
... you must under no circumstances attach high powered lasers to it, ok?

That's my plan foiled...
I was going to buy one and attach one of these: www.wickedlasers.com/lasers/Spyder_III_Pro_Arctic_Series-96-37.html

Considering it is still legal to buy an air rifle...
(though admittedly not to use it in public) I can't see a problem with shooting a catapult on private land.

On the other hand, using chavs as a target probably shifts it to 'offensive weapon' however much you may be doing a good deed.

Yeeeeesss
i've found that as it punches a very neat penny-sized hole through both sides of a beer tin, it's best not to aim at people or animals.

But air weapons have specific legislation.
Similar seems to apply to crossbows and just plain bows. I've probably not read carefully enough, but I don't recall any legislation referring to catapults.
