I don't think legal questions are dumb, especially given potential consequences if you get it wrong. It's worth getting second opinion from more experienced people. I'm not a lawyer. Ah, so unlike with airsoft there is a central (government-run) database of air rifle owners? 

Erm, yes? I never claimed you can "run around in the street shooting shit without the same outcome as the rif scenario" Again, I never claimed otherwise, but thanks for your input. 

Perfect! ?

Cheers guys. One more question - unless I am mistaken, it's actually easier to obtain an air rifle (which may even look like a proper machine gun) without any licence, and airsoft RIFs are harder to get than something that can cause much more harm. There doesn't seem to be (because it isn't...

I guess I could. I didn't need additional mags for most of the games except the D-Day scenario where I emptied my magazine fairly quickly. 

Hey, I'm new to the sport, and I know next to nothing about rifles. Can you tell me what's the name of the rifle in the photo below? It's a rental from Airsoft Plantation. I would like to buy some spare magazines for my next 2 games (before I get UKARA number and can buy my own rifle) so that I...

Eh, he's a good friend, but he's stubborn, especially whenever someone questions his knowledge of the things he's been interested in for years. I know next to nothing about technical parameters of RIFs etc, while he seems to have a good grasp on all that. I'm not going to ditch a mate over his...

I did in a way. I asked him "What if an UKARA member had a real firearm. According to your logic they wouldn't bother responding because he was UKARA registered". He ignored my question. 

Yup. Unfortunately he's a "know it all" type, telling me he's learned about airsoft "for years". He thinks UKARA is a magic ticket that allows you to own RIFs. His idiotic take about the Armed Police and their access to the UKARA database was too much for me. 

Thanks for this. I bought Pilot goggles. Will see how they fit before considering more expensive options posted earlier. Cheers!

Hi guys, My mate seems to think police across the UK have an access to the UKARA database, which they check before sending Armed Police to an address at which someone saw you "through a window" (his words) holding an RIF. My understanding of the law is as follows: UKARA is a...

"Due to Holidays orders will not be processed until Monday 13th March 2023" Sigh...  I may have to wait :(   Cheers. Did you use them post Brexit? 

Solid advice, however I absolutely hate the full face mesh mask provided with rentals as it obstructs my vision too much, so I decided to spend money on head protection first. Worst case scenario I'll sell it or give it to one of my friends who took me to my first Airsoft game :) I can't...

Hi guys, I'm new to the sport, having only spent one day at the Airsoft Plantation a week ago. I am, however, obsessed and am trying to complete some gear for the next 2 games before I can start thinking about RIFs. Being new to the sport, I bought this OneTigris helmet with goggles and...
