Re: Airsoft shogun shells ???
I don't know that that's really an answer - I've not seen in anything in the statute about 'internal barrels' or anything like that.
The critical thing is that the Act only applies to
firearms
, and airsoft guns aren't supposed to be firearms as they fall below the minimum level of lethality. I think you should be OK with shotgun shells - for added protection, buy them from a UK retailer, which will give you a practical defence of "I bought it in good faith from an alleged expert". I wouldn't want to be the test case, but I'd feel a lot safer with SS6s or similar than a Cassiopeia.

In addition to the above, the Brockock/Scott and Palmer self contained gas cartridges were banned because it was too easy to convert them to hold any smaller calibre live round that you happened to get your hands on.
A couple of minutes with a Black and Decker and you could convert an airgun to a dubiously safety firearm.
