I decided to make separate post so as not to go off on a tangent. Peoples keep on referring to MARS guns I have no idea what they are talking about. Any body ?.

Very basically, it's a trigger-released self-ejecting rifle.
It came to the (then) ACPO's attention a few years back...
They seem to be somewhat more controversial than lever-release rifles. I don't know if that relates to the specific / sole use of the trigger to keep it firing - or if there was something else about it they didn't like. In any case, it was mentioned is isolation in the ACPO / NPCC minutes.

I know you love/hate a good acronym so MARS stands for Manually Actuated Release System.

No, only phased-plasma rifles in the 40 Watt range are in Section 5.

Any one of these is ideal for home defence!

A guy at i know was banging on and on about his cz mars thing, when i finally saw it i could not believe what a load of rubbish it looked like, possibly the ungliest gun since the french bar wannabe, it looked like a supermarket childs toy... I was completely unsurprised when it broke shortly after... Rubbish accuracy and as far as i could tell a waste of money...
