Hello Forum,
I have been interested in airsoft for quite a while now (2-3 years), and now would like to participate and actively join this sport for a hobby to pursue. I have a couple of questions and queries that I cannot seem to get a definite answer whilst spending a good part of my day researching into how to become a licensed airsofter.
From watching YouTube videos I keep dreaming of the 'end-game' scenario with my dream gun etc, however I need some details on the earlier stages such as how to get licensed, what ammo to use, FPS restrictions and that sort of thing.
1) Am I right in thinking I can operate an airsoft rifle without the UKARA license?
2) Whilst watching YouTube someone commented saying 8mm pellets are illegal to fire in the UK? Is this correct?
3) How hard is it to buy a gun from the US and get it imported (excluding all the prices for transport and everything else involved) - is it as complicated as people make out to be?
My dream end goal is to be involved in one of the HUGE airsoft events that span over days with vehicular warfare and the like, dressed as a bush wookie with my friend (he is also interested), but like I said I need to know the baby steps before I can run
Feel free to ask me any questions regarding this post or even just general questions to get to know me
Wolfy out!
