So Will This Mean You Need UKARA for Two Tones (A Little Tongue in Cheek)

It’s the BBC - they can’t be more unobjective than Mr/Mrs/Ms unobjective the most unobjective person in unobjectiveland

 
Its a lovely looking shottie though.

Look out for the airsoft version.

 
i wonder what specific feature makes it "high tech", or is it just a totally normal pump shotgun in a fancy dress

edit: shoulda actually read the article before saying that lol.

Yep very high tech.

 
Such a non story.  A gun for the Russian domestic market..Why the fuck does the BBC need to get involved at all?

 
Ignore the fact that it is the BBC but could this be a trend for real steel and then what does that mean for the differentiation between a RIF and dual tone?

It's a black shotgun, looks a bit funky for sure but still a RIF.  Changes nothing. 

 
It’s a shotgun 

The VCRA doesn’t cover ‘Imitations that look like a real gun’ but ‘imitations that somebody thinks could be a real gun, unless it’s clear or within a defined list of bright colours’

You can search for it and see it in action. 

Its a semi auto shottie.

 
The one on display is white/light grey and black.  The lighting is making it look blue.  All the videos I saw last year of it, it was fully black.  Whether this two tone colourway is for promotion/sale, I don't know.

I still don't see why you think this is relevant.  It's a firearm for the Russian market, won't be sold in the US, let alone here.

 
Are they going to bring out guns in football team colours or something

trying to drum up support for team games after such a dry few months

Then two teams can face off each other and chant...

YOOOOOUUUUUURRRRRR SSSSSSHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

then row with the ref/marshals...

FFS referee are you fucking blind...

(or much much worse)

as airsoft has young players in it at times and the importance of playing fair & respectfully

here is a bit of a funny about kids football...

*************************************************************************

At one point during a game, the coach called one of his 7-year-old football players aside and asked,

“Do you understand what cooperation is? What a team is?
The little boy nodded in the affirmative.

“Do you understand that what matters is not whether we win or lose, but how we play together as a team?”

The little boy nodded yes.

“So,” the coach continued, “I’m sure you know, when a penalty is called, you shouldn’t argue,

curse, attack the referee, or call him a dick head.”

Do you understand all that?”

Again the little boy nodded.

He continued, “And when I call you off the field so that another boy gets a chance to play,

it’s not good sportsmanship to call your coach ‘a dumb arse–hole’ is it?”

Again the little boy nodded.

“Good,” said the coach. “Now go over there and explain all that to your mother.”

Ah, now you point that out I can see the lighting is the causing the blue colour and perhaps they chose that picture specifically to make it more catching to the eye given the headline about influencing 'young people'. However it was more about a discussion about the potential, in general, that other real firearms could be coloured to look like nurf guns and what could that do? This one example may not be sold outside of Russia but what if it is the start of a trend?

 
US criminals have painted their RS guns to make them look like toys for years.  Any country where firearms are prevalent will be treated as if they are real.  I can't see this particular gun setting a trend tbh.  I'd imagine there is a limited market for a firearm that looks like that.

in fairness, it's not just criminals, 3-gun has a fair amount of crazy colour schemes going on.

it's a strange one, the whole vrca is based on joe public sees a gun and goes "that's a gun, imma call the police" but of course a totally bright yellow m4 had never been seen in popular culture portrayed as a real firearm.....

@Adolf Hamster but that’s Ninja from Die Antwoord so you’ll probably find that baby is actually a real steel pew pew :D

that was my point, it's from chappie which has a bunch of guns painted up bright colours yet portrayed as real guns (wether they're airsoft, blankfire or real for filming purposes i've not bothered to check)

And then there's also how just plain weird some of the improvised firearms used by criminals may look:
