No, cause I'm french and the only time I see guns is where there are military or police on patrol.

However, I did some air rifle when I was younger and it happen the club I was in had an ex olympic champion as member. He let me tried its olympic air rifle. Smth like this:

Such beautiful piece of machining ! But I didn't shoot better with it 😂
