The barrel had been filled in and the cylinder bored out, but you could still fire blanks.

If your barrel had been filled in, it most certainly would not fire blanks. Blanks still have a full powder charge. When fired, all of those high pressure gasses have to go somewhere. If the barrel is blocked, there is a good chance the gun could explode....or at the very least be severely damaged.

The gasses went out of the side of the cylinder. I fired it a number of times. You may be right it could have exploded, but the cylinder had been bored out at the end.

Then your lucky your gun didn't do this:

Boom!

Maybe it was the best thing the cops took your gun....before you lost a hand or an eye.

 

[Scorpion]

Seriously? Apart from being a public menace, you're lucky you didn't blow your hand off, or worse.

Assuming you are telling the truth.

Remember that the police tried to make me believe there was a hit man after me, That is why I started trying to acquire weapons.

 

[Darat]

You think I would bother to make something like that up?
I can assure you they took my gun.

Your claim that: "...The police told me that if I signed a waver they would keep the gun without charging me. ...."

No such process exists in the UK so that did not happen.

 

[Darat]

You can only be sectioned if you are considered a danger to yourself or others.
They tried to section me and failed because the psychiatrist they called in said he saw no reason to section me.

As I said your story is internally incoherent, that you apparently can't see that could explain why you believe what you have typed happened.

However because your claims keep getting wilder and wilder and suddenly new details are added (that you think explains problems people have brought up about your story) my opinion at the moment is that you are a serial liar and a fantasist that enjoys the attention your tall tales gain.

I find it a bit irritating that you do not believe me, because I can assure you that's what they did. They said, and I quote.

"the man upstairs is not happy to let you have the gun back. So either you sign a waver and we keep the gun, or we will put it to the crown prosecution service "

That's as close as I can recall what they said.

I know I cannot use bad language on this forum or I would.

I am not lying about anything.

I would be more than happy to believe you and apologise for being wrong and accusing you of being a serial liar and fantasist once you provide some evidence, until then my opinion remains the same.

I'm pretty sure they didn't.

You want people to believe your tale, it is up to you to provide the evidence.

I cannot very well give any evidence, even if I gave you my name and the name of the police station, the police would not confirm what I have said.

Evidence for anything you have claimed would go some way to gain you some credence.

I tried for at least two years to compel my ex employers to give me evidence and they only tried to get me locked up. They never replied to any of my correspondence.

What was the make and model of the revolver? (if you remember) What caliber was it?

Webley 38

Webley 38

In the 80s, 90s when?

 

[Scorpion]

My problems began in 1988 when the police investigated me, I got the gun some time after, probably 1989.

I believe it was a deactivated second world war officers revolver.

Webley 38

Geez...you are really lucky you didn't grenade that sucker...considering the top strap of the Webley isn't connected to the frame at the rear. That would be one of the last guns I'd want to fire with a "squib load" or barrel obstruction.
