Tommikka Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Just to be a little bit pedantic, the VCRA definition of two tone requires the main colour to be one of specific bright colours. CoD style pretty designs don’t tend to be VCRA 2 tone compliant, however that doesn’t necessarily stop other colours being used and sold by some places In reality though airsoft is a game for people to go and have some fun. The colour of a gun for a few months has little real impact on someone’s ability to play, and should they be that bothered then they can rent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially now that they've added the "custom paint" options. People running around with bright pink guns now But I suppose CoD isn't the main topic here, fortunately for us all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fridge4211 Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 I’d say it’s more than 50% in surface area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wo1f Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Never been an issue at any field I’ve played. If anything, I find myself listening to 2 tone guys more to see if they’re doing okay or to offer up any help etc, assuming that they’re new. Only think I will say is the KC-02 is a nice gun. If you ever came to sell it, you may struggle to sell a two tone for the money you would a normal one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s just the stock that will be easy as rest detaches easily. Fridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fridge4211 Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 Do the count the mag as part of the gun as it can easily be swapped. The rest looks like after add ons. But hey it’s a picture who really cares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And PatrolBase red isn't bright, and white and gold aren't on the list but it doesn't stop bbGunz4Lezz flogging them as IFs. The whole issue is very silly and honoured more in the breach than the observance. Buy what you like, do with it what you like, just be sensible (or harmlessly daft) and it'll never be an issue.

Sako Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Two tone shouldn’t be an issue to anyone really, but my personal opinion I can’t see why anyone of legal age to purchase a RIF wouldn’t just wait the very short while / 3 visits to qualify for UKARA to allow them to purchase one that doesn’t look like a nerf gun.

EDcase Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Rental packages for 3 games is quite expensive so I can understand putting that money into a weapon which can be painted black after UKARA is obtained. It actually makes more financial sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would this end up almost as negative equity however in terms of parts/paints and/or effort and time spent over just waiting, as I know rental where I attend is £15 (so £45 over the required three visits). if someone were to buy replacement parts for the painted parts would the savings be voided, and if selling as two tone could the associated loss of selling as two tone over RIF be equal to the cost that rental would have ultimately cost anyway.

Mostly Retired Moderators L3wisD Posted January 12, 2018 Mostly Retired Moderators Share Posted January 12, 2018 Or you could see it from the other angle. Buy Combat machine for £130ish two-toned. Sell for £95 after you've got UKARA. Your "Rental period" has only set you back £35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDcase Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 We all know you don't have to be registered with UKARA to prove you play airsoft but its the easiest proof if you have to deal with any authorities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
