You don't think a No3 with a very light charge & a bit of dust load might be suitable? Do you do your own loading?.....

being completely new to any kind of shooting, how would one go about being legal to purchase one of those?
Would be good to just learn the basics with something similar to that.

legal parts easy...over 18 purchase direct from a firearms dealer or over the net can be done but if a trade sale (rather than private) it must be sent to a licensed dealer & you pick it up in person.
As for shooting, what do you want to learn basics for?..pistol. rifle etc. etc.
In the shooting world these air pistols are really just toys .. I know I shouldn't say that! ; but you won't "learn" much from them..better a small accurate air rifle...IMO

Although somewhat useless in the UK, pistol really..not sure why, probably all the US drama my life has been saturated with due to my age.

So as an over 18, I could simply buy that? no license needed?
I'd probably want to start with something like that to learn basic handling and such. Put quite simply the amount of equipment and safe storage in the UK would put anything serious out of my league for some time.

these are totaly legal to own if over 18 and if your within there area the link provided will deliver to your door.
like puff said though this pistol is more of a toy good for fun plinking in your garden but not real shooting.
if you fancy shooting a good cheap break barrel air rifle will start you off
but nothing beats a shotgun and turning a clay to dust , do a google search if theres a club local most do a" have a go" lesson with instruction and gun hire included.
good sport but just as expensive as smokeing cigars

if you wanted to get a real firearm you do have to jump through hoops in the uk.
it can be as expensive as you want it to be ,take a shotgun
cert =?50 visit by the police to make shure you are not a nutter
(no previous convictions )
a safe = ?90+
a good starter shotgun secondhand can be purchased for ?150
(but then you will want a ?2000/?30,000 one)
cartridges ?5.00+ for 25
then you have a FAC whole new kettle of fish
best to have a go somewhere to see if you like it first

It's fascinating, really gives you a 'feel' for shooting..quite pant wetting at times, you wouldn't want to put some of my early loads through your nice new shiny Miroku, specially the single ball 12 gauge!

you load your own shotgun carts?
thought the price of lead nowadays made that a no no
"specially the single ball 12 gauge!" isnt that illegal?
may try it in the future ,its very tecnical ,type of powder, how fast it burns
kick you get etc higher loads not always a bad thing if faster burning.
but i spose if your going to do it what better understanding than makeing your own
