Currently rolling about in an Audi A4 Avant, also have a Clio Sport 182 that I bought for cheap track fun
Used to own this, Nissan 200sx s14a, Fully forged SR20, every suspension upgrade you can think of, Nismo diff, fully caged, Genuine Origin Labo aero, Work wheels, big brakes etc. Unfortunately some tosser wrote it off before it made it to paint
You'll probably find if you end up causing enough of an issue that the police are involved (i.e you hold up the local Lidl) you'll get fucked with the full force of the Firearms act and they'll try and pin a section 5 offence on you (and rightly so) which doesn't really help my 'toy' case, but that's just due to the way that they look and the fear they'll cause your nan.
Deal.
You finding a manufacturer/supplier with a 'not a toy' warning doesn't make them not a toy in the eyes of the law. They shoot little bits of plastic, they also can be two toned so you don't even need a defence to buy one! The only thing that falls under 'the eyes of the law' is the fact SOME look like realistic firearms, and that's just to do with the way they look, not the fact they shoot little bits of plastic.
Are you just trying to deny them being toys to make it seem like you don't run about in the woods of a weekend shooting toy guns at people? ??
This is a joke right? Airsoft guns are toys and always have been, I remember being able to buy pistols in newsagents!
When I wanted to buy my first 'proper' airsoft gun it annoyed me that I could buy a legitimate firearm easier than a toy that shoots plastic BB's, but I understand why UKARA was implemented (although as a reenactor I didn't need it). Still find it a bit stupid though.
Playing devil's advocate, my argument to that would be that a large part of getting a FAC/SGC/Explosives is down to judge of character. You need references (as I'm sure you know) and to also pass the 'attitude test' with a Firearms Officer.
You don't need to use a RIF at an insured event to own or buy one, so it's a null point in my opinion.
