Visco fuse purchase and storage

13 March 2016 - 03:39 AM

How much visco fuse can I legally buy and store at any given time? Do I need to show any documentation?

 

It seems to be sold on pyro & science sites unrestricted, which is slightly odd.

Pyrodex: Legitimate reason & law

13 March 2016 - 03:33 AM

I'm interested in muzzleloaders and recently came across pyrodex. Reading into it, I've found out that the purchase and possesion of it in the Uk doesn't require a licence, which surprises me somewhat.

 

Also, I am led to believe, there is no storage restrictions either, meaning you can put it in whatever you like, wherever you like with the instructions on the container only being a caution.

 

If this is true, what is considered a legitimate use for pyrodex if it is pretty much unrestriced? I possess no firearms nor an FAC/SGC, but I am interested in pyro and rocketry. Can it be used for the aforementioned, and what limitations are there? What exactly can I do without without getting visits or being assumed a terrorist?

 

I recall reading a few years ago that anything resmebling a missile is not allowed due to the potential of malicious intent, but am surprised to find out that hobbyists can purchase chemical engines and I beleive store as much as they want without a licence required for both.

 

Please move this if I've posted it in the wrong area.
