Help UK based and would like to go by shooting, how to get a gun?

[sadcambsguy]

So I really prefer the idea of shooting - gun to the head or in mouth, bang, all over.

It should be very quick, pretty painless and effective. No waiting hanging or feeling pain through poison, or having to find and get access to high points. The issue is that gun laws in UK are super strict. The only way I can think of is to go to some of the rougher areas and see if I can get a gun but chances are I will just get beaten and robbed. Has anyone been able to get a gun in UK and how?

I'm in the UK also, and I can promise you from the not so nice area I live in that any stranger appearing locally asking about firearms would be really suspect. The criminals in this area who could hypothetically have access to such info are a pretty tight knit bunch who wouldn't want any involvement with an unknown stranger asking about stuff like this, sorry.

Install an appropriate gun safe and you can get a shotgun certificate if you have a proper reason, shooting sport is acceptable. Providing you have no violent history, it should be easy. A cheap double barrel could be had for £150 if you look around. Then there are slam fire shotguns, 2 pipes and an end cap, of course, those are illegal, and I would never advocate for breaking the law. Shells can be purchased (or borrowed) from a clay pigeon shooting ground, or your local chavs.

I've heard that guns designed for hunting or shooting as a sport are easier to get hold of. Don't have much more information.
