No it is considered evidence and will remain locked away.

No, it was used in a crime!
Believe it or not, even shooting the BB gun in some areas is considered firing a firearm within city limits.
Time for a new BB gun.

Most likely not. The BB gun will be considered evidence used to facilitate the offense, the same as a knife used to stab someone or a bat used to beat someone. The item will most likely be destroyed.

It is an offence to have any firearm in a public place, and under UK law an air weapon (and yes airsoft guns are air weapons) count as firearms. If the police are called then depending upon who reports it and what they say you could face a full on fire arms unit responce, and they will treat the guns as real until they know otherwise.

If your friend is over the age of 18, no.
If your friend is under the age of 18 your friend's parents can request the BB gun back.

I hope that the judge isn't some liberal that will go easy on him, and I hope that you don't keep him as a friend.

no, it will have been destroyed by now if he is irresponsible enough to shoot somebody he does not deserve to have it
