First, it looks too much like a real gun that police (or victims) are not going to know when they see these things.

Second, this is likely just a way of gun manufacturers getting their foot in the door so they can build a constituency to demand real guns in the future.

A paintball gun is literally twice as powerful as this.

In the UK? Rather unlikely, I'd say.

I just can’t fathom the logic that led to the UK’s draconian restrictions on self defense, even in one’s own home.

Only one in 400 people in the UK have such a certificate, so it's legal for them. The other 99.75% of their population, not so much.

or the “power” part that made it legal.

Would have even more "enormous" energy as would throwing it at an attacker.
Having read some UK self defense cases however doing either of those could put the person in more legal trouble than the criminal.

Haha. All one has to do is read some self defense news reports out of the UK to see how well self defense plays out in their court system.

Not detachable ones, though.
