Not a lot - as long as the functional elements of the design is for airsoft, and is UK compliant then airsoft has a convenient clause exempting from firearms legislation (so it’s not a low powered air weapon / air gun - which are legal but are under firearms legislation) Dont be a dick with it and you should not find out what they think The legislation that would apply would be the VCRA - if it is not clear nor in the specified bright colours then you would be manufacturing a RIF The manufacturer is responsible, but you won’t need to prove your use to yourself so UKARA membership would not be a requirement Make it for airsoft and as long as you are old enough then you are legal Finally …. Are you capable of doing so? It would make sense if you are making a body for standard internals to go in - and it has been designed by someone with the knowledge / skills to do so Or if printing specific parts to modify an existing two tone etc, then the VCRA still applies - but you as the modifier are the responsible person. The original VCR draft had a specific offence of modifying an IF to a RIF no applicable defence, but the final legislation can be read to include the defences - so only do so for airsoft purposes

Totally agree, it’s entirely nod nod wink wink There was much more credibility for the retailer who just put in a tick box of “I promise that I am buying this RIF for legal airsoft skirmishing” (and if I recall correctly is no longer in business) Any retailer that promotes a fake define is worse than one who just ignores the VCRA - and if/when an authority chooses to act they are likely to be an easy target especially as the judiciary are never happy with offenders that just take the piss Those of us who like our hobbies should be happy to condemn those who endanger them On the ‘theatrical’ slant of cosplay, that is the route that JustCos could have taken with a cosplay society insurance policy There was someone on the forum a few years ago enquiring about how to get a RIF for cosplay, first leading to the ‘no answer’, until it clicked with me on who they were and that I know them - an actual ‘paid professional cosplayer’, complete with full insurance etc with the genuine ability to lay claim to ‘theatrical’

You aren’t paying for the knock off DDPM, it’s the cocaine in the pocket National Stock Number 6505-00-619-8716 National Stock Number (NSN) 6505-00-619-8716, or NIIN 006198716, (cocaine hydrochloride) was assigned January 1, 1963 in the Federal Logistics Information System (FLIS). This NSN does not replace any other NSNs.

Every cloud has a silver lining … it didn’t fail at the 23:59 mark

Actually …. the washing machine is not an absolute no. But whenever I’ve needed to give vests, chest rigs etc a good clean I have dunked them in the bath after me, left them in the bath or over the bath to drip overnight and then hung up. For the washing machine: dismantle / remove any possible separate pouches Ensure every pouch, pocket, lining etc is empty turn it inside out and zip it up, buckle it etc (on the assumption that any dangly bits such as fixed pockets, straps etc will then be inside the main body) put it inside something (the something would ideally be a net laundry bag, but could be a pillow cover or other fabric bag - this aims to protect the vest from your washing machine drum and your drum from the vest) run the machine on a reasonable setting, such as not the fastest spin Be amazed at how pristine it is on completion and don’t complain to me if it gets ripped/your machine breaks down/you get caught by your other half

I’m not yet in that league, but have one totally screwed knee and as I haven’t popped it out for some time and the other has deteriorated I have to think about which one is my officially bad knee Hydrating properly and eating highly improved my recovery time from a few days to just enough to catch on sleep (If we don’t count the other weekend at a one day event, early start to setup followed by hours of standing - after packing down I could hardly walk and if I had been driving would have grabbed the first travelodge) I’ve used a few knee braces, from basic elasticated, more substantial elasticated with breathing holes, and also with entry level hinged knee braces. When most active going into stupid positions photographing tournaments I would use the hinged brace, at least on my worst knee, and if I didn’t think I would abuse knees then go for elasticated to just hold it all together Anything beyond that really should be looked at as to what support you need where, and to identify the right type of braces For pills it can be a matter of why that one was right for you - the active ingredients and I’m inclined to say it’s not necessary the pain relief but potentially the inflammatory elements etc If it really is the ideal then the scary part to your wallet could be looking at a private prescription My GP (who has just written to all patients to tell us he’s leaving) is excellent, which is attributable to his people skills (and one of the reasons given for leaving with the trend to online / phone interaction taking over from face to face) With any visit to him I’ve dreaded the advice to take things more easy, but he’s always given the opposite to keep playing but while listening to my body.

This could be the case. About 5 years ago GI Sportz did the same thing (and not long after a GV vs Valken legal case) Filing for chapter 11 bankruptcy in the US as one of the steps along the way to being bought up by an investment fund.
