    (Not quite a) UKAPU win

    Apologies for reviving a dead thread (haven't been here for a while) however I thought I'd explain what happened here. I didn't wish to explain it in detail at the time but seeing how it's been misinterpreted here, I thought I'd clear things up :) A long while before the member contacted...

    Both UKARA and UKAPU do the behind the scenes stuff.

    Opinions on UKAPU

    I wouldn't joke about that, as when shit has hit the fan, it's the brand ambassadors and content creators (which does include journalists) with actual reach that can help throw something important into the public eye that on the face of it, most people would not care about, even if to those in...

    Opinions on UKAPU

    Since the topic has migrated over to national governing bodies, I feel that I can safely return to this thread! As someone who has spent a lot of time looking into this over the past seven years, I feel confident in saying that the main issue to do with national governing bodies, as I'm sure...

    Opinions on UKAPU

    It would be timely if it was, however please be assured that it was purely coincidental. Standing down has been something that has been on my mind for the past year or so, I just never decided to actually do it up until about 4 weeks ago. I wish I had done it sooner, judging by some of the...

    Opinions on UKAPU

    Both the admin assistant and the website developer are, as I understand it are paid for their time from shared UKARA funds, which are directly contributed from the fee that retailers pay for access to the UKARA system. I don't believe that money is abstracted from the running of UKARA for...

    Opinions on UKAPU

    Yes, that is correct. I want to hand over the reins in an orderly manner, and the best way to do that is to gather members of our committee and elect a new chairperson ASAP. From that point we would proceed onwards to regularising whatever the committee and wider membership decide to vote...

    UK law on shooting a RIF in a garden

    In agree with that last sentence, however if I were a betting person, I would say that it would have been the intention of parliament to say that the word "firearm" within the Highways Act is something that is to be interpreted as described within the Firearms Acts.

    Opinions on UKAPU

    Hello. Just thought I'd post in this topic just to clear up a couple of comments here. The meeting that has been previously announced here that is being held on the 22nd of this month is not an AGM, it is an emergency management meeting, which is being held to replace myself as chairman, as...

    Bringing your own replica to the UK

    To add to this, I haven't heard of any legitimate importation of RIFs going as far as needing discussion at a magistrates court, normally when someone with a bit of knowledge within BF confirms the defence (either UKARA or a skirmisher's diary) it's released. If anyone knows of anything that...

    Bringing your own replica to the UK

    From what I've been hearing back from people who have personally imported their RIFs into the UK (or in a shipping container), generally it's a trouble free experience. Generally the issue is only when it's sent as a parcel.

    Acceptable rates of fire

    My builds are about 22-27rps But that's mostly because I quite like them set up like that for stupidly quick trigger response when I'm playing CQB It's always the M4 pistols, isn't it ?

    Airsoft Governing Bodies

    The problem isn't about people not being able to wait two weeks to play again. Honestly, I'm baffled about today's absolutely bizarre outpouring of emotion. The actual problem is more that pre-Covid, universities were struggling to set up their student unions due to airsoft, that is for all...

    Bad Publicity?

    Following on from this, there is very little difference between 1J and 1.13J - an estimate of a couple of metres or so, give or take some fairy dust being liberally sprinkled around the hop unit. However not too long ago we as a community spent a considerable amount of time and effort (and the...
