yes and no. when it comes to seat belt cutter or pencil sharpener they could probably class it as a knife. Which means you be better of just letting them confiscate it (which is very unlikely they would do in the first place) and hope that there wont be any prosecution. if it was something that is not sharp thou like a heavy key bunch, a constable can confiscate it merely on his own suspicion. if he wanted to prosecute you for carrying a weapon thou, or if you wanted to protest it, it would go to court. There you'd probably be on the winning side unless you DID intend to use it as a weapon. Question is if it worth going to court over losing the possession in question. ~remember nothing I say is legal advise, you're all responsible for you're own actions. I am not.

**actually, going to school would probably cover as a legal reason for carrying a pencil sharpener. caring it just for the sake of it thou....... as a matter in fact the way the law is written you can be asked to have to justify just about anything you carry any item and any item (such as a one pound coin) is illegal to carry if the intended use is as a weapon.

I did not write the law and I do not agree with them*. but yes, technically they could be seen as illegal. quite frankly, because of the systems laws grow in this country, many of them do not take the consequences into consideration (as we see for example with airsoft, or that how harming other with or without their consent is illegal would technically affect piercing, tattooing or surgery). As a matter in fact, there's no law preventing us from carrying a locking knife, just a court ruling. *I do however to my best abilities and knowledge try to follow them, as long as it can be done without harming myself or others.

How do you prove that you need a defensive weapon?? Either people have the right to defend them selves, in that case you're allowed.. or they do not. unless you have to be of certain race/religion/politics/background/area/profession where the threat is higher than for other? Strange in any case, as I believe machetes are banned in NI? Whether it is relevant or not, makes me think of a discussion however seat belt cutters are allowed to be kept in your car in England. The conclusion was as the blade is fixed, they are not - unless you can prove that you in advance knew that you where going to have an accident on that particular day (thou I do not think a police officer under normal circumstances would mind)

I think legally the club owns them ^^

sometimes someone brings it to my site.. I usually borrows some and makes two lines on my face, warpaint style.. just for the lols. and usually forget to take it off before heading for pizza or gym afterwards XD (thou I'm a bit older & uglier than the fellow in the pic) faces are usually pretty well covered in airsoft, but a lot of people here put some on the forehead where it shows between the googles and the hat/hair #whitepeopleproblem

sounds very unlikely you would be able to do it. but £40? or the retail of the ammo? provided you had full auto weapons. I heard people can own pistols that are kept at shooting clubs. I can't confirm this however. you're allowed to own firearms for defensive purposes in NI??

oh what have we become....... thou as long as you dont wave it around openly, that wont hardly matter.

hmn ok. I touched one once, it was clearance in a store. the safety was broken. and it said cybergun on the package, so no clue who makes them. the first site i opened when doing a websearch thou indicates that it's made by KWA.. which surely is a good sign? thou I only ever used NS2, which is does not say if this is or not. basically I am being offered one in a trade.

opinions?

Generally if you want quality as well as a cheapo user, go for Victorinox. Tinker give you a real nice set of tool, and the plastic red are the least intimidating legal carry knives around, which is good if you get stopped by the police or generally while using them. If you want something a bit 'cooler' you can go with the alox series. The Pioneer series also have a bit more robust blade (love that blade), while the cadet is very skin and pretty much disappear in your pocket. ~as for the SD Classic / Executive. Excellent knives, if you find me without my SD Classic I am probably traveling by airplane or something. However, would not recommend to use them on cable ties. if you want something really sturdy you can go with Svord Peasant (and just file away 1mm making it sub 3") or just get the mini version (2,5"). These are one of the few folding knives (locking blades included) that I trust to put thru heavier tasks. They are also very cheap. On the downside, the grind can be a bit uneven and sometimes they come without a tip. they are made from high carbon steel that rusts if not cared for properly. Some also say the tang going into the grip while open makes it not carry legal... It have not been proven in court, and tbh, I would not want to be the one that get tired for it. Spyderco! Many swear by the UKPK... I dont. I think the spring is ridiculously weak making it pretty much useless. however mine is sent to repair, so will let Sal and they guys at Spyderco decide if it a lemon or not. other than that, I have never held another knife that achieved the perfection in design that UKPK has, locking or non locking. Native LTW is the only one that even comes near, but it lacks the deep carry wire clip. as for the Grasshopper, it's an excellent knife, very pleasant blade shape also, feels nice to use. Kiwi seems really nice as well, thou it's been reports on spring failure. Can always go for a non locking Leatherman. bit heavy and bulky but hey. Enzo PK70 are suppose to be really good knives and they sure looks amazing! Oh and the Boker Plus subcom 42 comes in a non locking version. Only ever owned the locking version. but it feels like you're holding a much bigger knife. A little masterpiece, no wonder it is so popular Wouldn't touch Gerber Bear Grylls with a stick, but that's just me. and in all fairness, one of the most amazing knives I've had is a Gerber (thou it's damn ugly and a tad bit heavy). oh, I see the Spyderco PITS folder have been released... better have a ton of money thou! Edit: Did not see the no swiss army knife part... thou I do not agree with your reasoning. even if you do not use the tools, the knife part beats most other knives on the market. in either case... considered Victorinox pocket pal or solo?

This is what I am getting at. But to buy a RIF once you play your last game surely is not legal or at least not in line with how the law was meant to be interpenetrated?

Unless I am much mistaken, the law is not that you play 2+ games in 2+ months. it is that you skirmish regularly and that you can get the RIF to keep your hobby realistic or something in those lines. Therefore I can not see how someone who have just skirmished enough to get a UKARA number and then quits can legally buy a RIF? But assuming he intended to keep playing and legally acquire a RIF. Then he can legally give it to you, as long as it is truly a gift (for example bday, religious holidays etc..) and he gets nothing in exchange what so ever. No money, items, services etc. I would then assume that he'd get one for himself as well. anyway, this is my take on it.

Mr Meeeelty!! quite amazed how I could do that on a phone.

Almost only do that nowdays, beats orgainised games any day imo. usually get 8 people, sometimes up to 30 or as low as 3-4. might well be £9, or it might have gone up. long time since I got bbs from TWA never seen a bio bb broken down. might just put one in a glass near the window to see if it really breaks down and how long it will take.

great.

Epsom Bunker not the best pic, but you don't see me with an m4 every day! ....no one else had short sleeves for some reason... can't figure why!

just remember you will be spending a fortune on upgrades.

general opinion seems to be that hfc are pretty bad. To be fair thou I've seen one other person swear by their hfc glock. Personally I would go near them.

I do not understand why people want "cheap bbs".... most site sells good bbs 5k for around £8... how much cheaper does it need to get? as for buying online, even if it's cheaper, shipping is often added to it, so you might as well just buy them at your site (unless you order a ton, or order them with something else). as for the ones in OPs link, they are not even a good deal, 2000 for £4.. that's more expensive than quality bbs last time I purchased.

I agree with longshot. however, personally I will prefer KWA PTP NS2 every time over anything. I am not a big M9 fan, I still prefer the M9 PTP to any other brands. even if TM did a SR22. as for my experience with (early) WE 1911... they are pants. However I also hear that newer WE as well as TM 5.7 are suppose to be reliable. Thou it is supposedly not a good idea to use propane unless your gun have a metal slide. if you want AEP, CYMA g18c is a good gun with a good reputation. The TM it clones is pretty much the same but feels less like a plastic toy.

cm.045 construction is superb. vfc clone, not tm. as for mp5k, I would recommend CA B&T. mine shot further and straighter than most m4s on my site, and it was stock. it is a lot heavier than one would think thou and personally I would not carry it as a secondary. oh, and it takes a stick battery.. I cannot see how any other batteries would fit in a mp5k? in either case I suppose you can put a battery pouch or tape the battery on the outside if you really hate stick batteries.

I was thinking of CYMA until you said no CM's o.o the CM.045 is great for cqb or backup, real good gun for that! fairly heavy so no good for a secondary thou!

+1 propane for more power. thou it's a TM so it will probably break. doubt upgrading the barrel will do anything for more power. unless maybe making the barrel longer with a mock silencer?` possibly you could file/polish some of the holes letting the gas thru? nothing I would try thou.... why do you want it more powerful?
