The turning away segment could be for “dramatic effect”, but they are between a rock & a hard place Many stupid people don’t learn, so covering it for those won’t necessarily stop them doing it again They are on a industrial estate, so might have a slight chance of working by turning away back...

The gun itself could be anything, but that blue/white thing is quite reminiscent of a 90s paintball hopper shape - but looking cheap I’m veering towards a gel blaster,

Plenty of stupid

Based on an infomercial, and to avoid being the next player to turn up on the news ….. Transporting your RIFs (and gear) to and from games (and retailers / techs / comicons / your mates house, should include common sense, but there’s always that guy Link further down from BZ about transporting...

Technically speaking - you are wearing eye protection in the gym But you are wearing their eye protection and they are wearing your eye protection …. A great big lump of stuffed leather smacking your face has been padded out to be larger than an eye socket - not a primary feature of the design...

Look up the product safety sheet and also on the goggles themselves for what safety standard they are manufactured to. The Nuprol mesh linked below are to EN1731F, with F being the lowest impact rating, and EN1731:2006 being aimed at industry to protect against low energy chips & fragments -...

Pistols serve two purposes : 1) Extra weight that you never use 2) Dual wielding to get yourself shot out 90% of the time In Airsoft they can serve a third purpose of “secondary” when weapon rules apply but at risk of staying within (1) A “secondary” as an emergency for when the primary fails...

A MoD 90 is not a VCRA Defence. The “crown servant defence” is in “the performance of their duties” - as a member of the forces you get given your firearms, and where applicable alternatives If a soldier etc wants an SA80 to practice drill in their room then a coloured IF would do If buying...

Those are valid defences and a retailer ought to be willing to sell (but aren’t obliged to, if they wanted to be picky a retailer might choose to only sell specific RIF types to renactors, eg not selling an M4 to a WW2 group Is the “impossibility” the checkout process not allowing for other...

Note that the document you have linked to quotes the number of visits / duration requirement but not as part of legislation. As @Neptune has noted it references the Statutory instrument introducing the Airsoft Defence (to be pedantic it is ‘secondary legislation’ that supplements the VCRA...

No mention on this thread, but there are pictures elsewhere on this forum and it’s being fitted onto a black RIF (which does not show signs of having been painted) so it is not modifying an IF to a RIF As you have just confirmed that you don’t know what it is to be fitted for, my (very...

As a part, a rail is not a RIF, but if an IF is modified to a RIF by changing/modifying with a non bright rail then that may be an offence If it’s already a RIF then modifying a rail is not an offence, if it’s an IF then it is an offence to modify into a RIF. VCRA offences are always an...

If sold in the UK they “should” be safe, and should have specifications in the product safety sheet Sites should also have a policy on their use https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/laser-radiation-safety-advice/laser-radiation-safety-advice Consumer laser products in the visible...

At our first event one of the faction leaders wore a bomb vest t-shirt below the rest of his clothing, went for a stroll, walked into the back of enemy HQ, lifted up his top to show the t-shirt announcing his presence as “bang, you’re all dead” Our recent team recruit on his first experience of...

My last import was a few years back, not a RIF so just import VAT & handling $294.70 declared value from the USA (MI was keen on timing as I wanted it for an event, so was calling the help desk to check the progress. During my calls to the help desk there was a valuation & fee, but not...
