You really do talk rubbish, try checking up on the drivel you read before repeating it.

It is illegal to fire an airgun closer than 50 feet (15 metres) from the centre of a public highway, bridleway or footpath, if your shooting causes upset or inconvenience to those using the highway and the fine is £1000

Also your pellets can not travel outside the boundary of the land you have permission to shoot on.
