I have a fairly old KWA P226 that’s always been solid, but now is giving me issues. It’s a gun based issue and not mag based (tried 4 of them). Essentially it just vents all the gas in the mag on one shot. From what I can see, the piece in front of the hammer that hits the gas release on the mag...

I came here to be pedantic but a different pedant has already done the pedantry that I wanted to do, so I'm about to deal some double pedantry: it is you that needs the defence when importing or manufacturing.

As above Donzie, the VCRA is the relevant piece of legislation here, not UKARA (which is just a database). Weirdly, as long as you're over 18 it's never illegal for you to buy a RIF, so you're covered either way. For your friend to have the defence he'd probably like to have as a seller he...

Donzie, have you already been playing airsoft at a site and was this potential seller there with you?

I don't post much about airsoft because I don't like airsoft very much.

Which is why the 'law' section on any airsoft forum is always the place to be! (Fires AK into the air as if he's at a wedding).

So, just to be safe should I send the AK back? Also, I've eaten the fruit salad sweets now and I fired about 20 rounds into the air at a wedding I went to (everyone else was doing it), will that affect me getting a refund?

Should I two tone it myself just to be sure?

I don't play very much anymore so when I wanted an Cyma AK47 for Christmas I ordered one as a two tone. However when it arrived it wasn't a two tone and it was an actual real AK47. Because it was Christmas they also put some fruit salad sweets in there as a treat and a wooden box with 100 7.62mm...

It would be an odd choice. I don't carry my real guns in "proper gun cases" and there's no law that says I have to.

I agree with the OP. I did some DEEP research into this and did you know that the UKARA licensing board is also speciesist? If you read the wording of the VCRA that they use to inform their actions you'll see that gorillas also can't be given the license, even if they play their three games...

Ahh! No, don't apologise; that endangers the sport even more! The police, the Daily Mail and all 650 MPs (and possibly the FBI and CIA for some reason) are constantly monitoring all airsoft forums in the UK. If you apologise for something you are, in effect, admitting you are guilty of...

No thread is complete without sarcasm. No thread I tell you! Not having enough sarcasm is endangering the sport!

Be realistic! What's a FAC worth? All it means is that you've convinced the police service that you're qualified to possess, safely store and safely use a range of dangerous killing machines including .50 calibre rifles that can fire accurately and lethally to distances of over a mile. That's...

It is manufacturing, but the defence against prosecution for manufacturing is simply that you were doing it for the purposes of "the acting out of military or law enforcement scenarios for the purposes of recreation" (an example of which is 'airsoft skirmishing') at a site with third party...
