It's a spring powered BB 4.5mm/.177" pistol mostly die cast zinc alloy. Very low powered. Some sellers claim that is a pump-up but it isn't. A single cock is all it takes.
I shot several large boxes of BBs through it until my kid somehow managed to break its latch. It can still be shot by cocking the barrel then holding it shut with the off hand.
It should have a few drops of light "sewing" machine oil in the cylinder through the hole in the (polyurethane?) grmmet that the barrel breech seats against. One drop on each pivot every once in a long while to reduce wear.
Don't expect much of this pistol. It's much easier to cock than the "Marksman" Colt 1911 .45-style pistol which requires its "slide" to be pulled back to cock.
I don't know what kind of licensing, if any, is required in the UK for a low velocity BB pistol. At least one USA state classes compressed gas guns as "firearms," requiring a permit/registration. Some states restrict air guns to 18+.
Be aware that BBs are dangerous to eyes and teeth, and possibly to the eardrum and inner ear if a BB went straight in an ear canal. Could possibly kill an infant if a BB struck in the upper abdomen, temple, eye, base of the skull, nostril, ear canal.
