Airsoft will face further restrictions long before it happens to air pistols or air rifles. Not sure I agree with this statement. As I remember it was a Labour Government that was going to ban airsoft. At the time before the compromise of self regulation was agreed the owners of airsoft guns were told you can keep what you have but can’t buy anymore. I don’t remember if they had planned to actually ban the sport of airsoft. Does anyone remember. In Scotland all airguns are now licensed, with practically all the same requirements as FAC guns. Airsoft guns are considered toys I believe and are not included. I think airguns might be licensed in England & Wales, the only thing putting off any government is the numbers involved, approx 6 million airguns in circulation according to police figures. At the moment the licensing system can’t cope in many areas, with renewals and grants taking months and extensions being given as a matter of course. Some areas are taking more than a year before they even visit for a grant. I have no idea how many airsoft guns are in circulation, a lot I would think. And unlike bans on blank firers where the government can get away without paying compensation as they are claiming they can be converted to fire live rounds, any ban on airsoft would require compensation to be paid.

Selling this US made ITT PVS7. Has an OMNI 7, autogated, thin film tube inside. FOM about 1800 from what I could find. Has a couple of minor spots but nothing too bad at all. An excellent tube that will beat out any similarly priced NNVT or photonis offering in the dark The housing is much older, and is well used. It has some degradation of the mirrors inside, resulting in some nasty looking marks on the edge of one eyepiece and a transparent mark off to the centre of the other one. Once you focus on the image and set it up on a helmet, however, these defects become far less noticeable, but not quite invisible. Check the youtube link below for more. Housing has been recollimated and cleaned up and is ready to go. Comes with a carrying bag, sacrificial lens, original matching tube container, and a freebie cheapo rhino mount. Here's a video of the device, to better show the "defects" I mentioned. https://www.youtube.com/watch/6G1rwYc4fI8 Price includes postage etc. Paypal or bank transfer. More photos and info on request!1,500.00 GBP

A few issues with the argument. Intention is one thing but the effect is also significant. We don't live in an ideal world and it's not a secret that criminals want to reduce their paper trail and would employ a proxy to acquire an imitation firearm. The kid's age doesn't prevent him from being allowed spray paint the gun he had - whatever you've been "led to believe" was misleading or you've misinterpreted it. It is illegal for anyone, whether they're above or below the age of majority, to modify an imitation firearm to look realistic unless they have a defence to do so. I'm not sure anyone has been prosecuted for the offence but being a minor is not a factor. The restrictions on airsoft guns came from the Violent Crime Reduction Act, not the Violent Crime Prevention/Eradication Act. UKARA as a self-regulated system could definitely do with reform but to imply that it doesn't have any impact on reducing the misuse of imitation firearms needs evidence to back it up. Also, it's worth bearing in mind the point about air pistols is irrelevant because air guns were not (and still aren't) under the same remit as airsoft when the VCRA was proposed. Air guns had significant protection by political lobbyists who had ties to shooting clubs. Airsoft had no such protection and airsoft RIFs would have been made banned outright had it not been for the government agreeing to a compromise with the UK airsoft industry regulating itself in terms of who can buy. Airsoft will face further restrictions long before it happens to air pistols or air rifles.

There is a shout out deserved by the bobbies involved Based on the date and proximity, the idiot will have been on his way to London AnimeCon at the Novotel, which would be a 45-50 minute walk from Chelsea & Westminster Hospital as referenced in the call, and Fulham Broadway not being on the shortest direct walk about 15 minutes from the hospital That 15 minutes has to have time deducted for the caller to have seen, mulled it over, thought that it’s not a real threat, but it does need to be reported - then call in, and for the control room to despatch, put the call out, CCTV to find and track etc They are not an armed response team, so unlikely to have been directed by CCTV (but may have had updates on the radio) With the match day they may have been crowd control, and acted either on other reports such as football fans telling them “there is a bloke with a gun over there” or just on sight themselves Perhaps also working on the principle that it looks like a dickhead dressed up, but still in need of controlling the firearm fast They put me in mind of the armed response officers body cam footage when he chose not to shoot when called to respond and a teen pulled an airsoft / BB pistol from his waist band and pointed it in the face of the police officer - with his brain fighting over “danger shoot now / it’s a kid” https://winter.londonanimecon.com

The point of JustCos is well established to be nothing to do with Comicon - the comicon that they listed as partnered bans RIFs The point of JustCos is to add an income stream and claims to provide insurance for claims of ‘scaring people’ - on that basis this individual would have a claim

I'll keep you in mind. I was planning to save it, 1 as a spare and 2 so if I want to run it A5 spec I have that ability. But I'll let you know bud once I buy a SEF trigger housing.
-
If you do swap to SEF i'll buy your burst pack to put in my K. (If you want to sell it.)
-
-
Cheers for the advice. I definitely do aim to buy the SEF trigger mech. I have my eye on one over on used Airsoft if it's still available come pay day. I shoot cqb alot so burst is not a necessity for me. I knew this forum wouldn't let me down on any info I needed. Thanks guys.

Returning to Airsoft and looking for an old AEG
hunter511 replied to Specte_i's topic in General Discussion
Okay, Im old. I remeber seeing this either for sale or on a custom "look what I made" thread. The OD C79 sight is fairly distinctive. -
Welp.... the laws behind that got snuck through rather quietly unless I missed something? IIRC post snowdrop petition there was a spate of 'robberies' whereby gun safes got "emptied by thieves" and paid out at insured value by house insurance rather than acceptance of the pennies on the pound offer that was being made for legally held handguns.
