The article needs an update. The law in the UK has changed since 1911. --84.13.244.65 01:33, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
Also, Bird v. Holbrook isn't a US case at all; it's English. Bowfee 17:28, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
- So what? This isn't Ameripedia. 79.68.212.219 (talk) 05:34, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
- I know this reply is long, long after the fact, but at the time of my original comment, the article said that Bird v. Holbrook was an American case. This has since been corrected. Merely trying to fix an error, we yanks aren't all hopelessly Amerocentric. Bowfee (talk) 20:09, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
Frontiers
What about the use of spring guns or similar devices by states? I'm thinking particularly of the inner German border and the 'death zone' along Berlin Wall, but presumably they've been used on lots of borders, and probably around military bases, etc. Anyone have any literature on this? 79.68.212.219 (talk) 05:34, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
Move
I propose a move of the article to weapon trap. This as not only guns can be used in traps (eg bows, crossbows too) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.182.175.118 (talk) 12:24, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

This image can be added in the article suggested above:
"Non-lethal calibers"
Does anyone know what this actually means? To my knowledge there are no modern loads that are even remotely reliably safe, especially at the close range a spring-gun implies. I would have thought it was an odd way of referring to less-lethal ammunition, if the article didn't mention less-lethal as an alternative to "non-lethal calibers".
The article also seems to suggest that these are common security devices, but that's another discussion. Dracran (talk) 01:31, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
Needs better citations
I've added the Template:Refimprove to this article as there is only one citation in this article and that link leads to a "Page not found". Daedalus733 (talk) 07:16, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
In popular culture
Where exactly does a spring-gun appear in Max Payne? (Just curious) 87.173.193.13 (talk) 07:23, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
