It’s a toy gun for gods sake - its not a Airsoft gun its a TOY - i suggest you start petitioning the toy shops and EBAY then https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/292473244721

The gun in question - in other pic was dirty as been in mud / dirt and was bought for a be your hero day at school

All the kids on the estate play massive nerf wars - he does not leave the front garden / back garden with this item as he usually has his big yellow gun. I’d like to think i am more aware than most of the implications of real fire arms and the damage they can do - i also am fully aware of how the police could mistake a toy for a RIF - but he isn’t going anywhere with it other than outside for a picture. A sergeant at work once went to a mess function as a suicide bomber and drunkenly asked home and in no time was surrounded by armed response so I understand the consequences of people mistaking dress up for real life. Both my boys are dying to start airsofting and i want to encourage this - my eldest is in the shooting team at school and i teach them both target shooting with my air rifle so they have a good respect for fire arms and the safety precautions required. All my RIFs are in padlocked cases stored in the loft of the garage and the air rifle is in a secure locker so no danger of my kids being able to gain access. i know society has changed but god when i was a little lad everyone played soldiers and had very real l.poking weapons - i even had as proper blank firing revolver around the age of 10. Whilst i can see why people react i also will reiterate i live on a army estate - and all the kids want to pretend they are like their parents and I’m not going to discourage an innocent 8 year old enjoying dress up The daft bugger is outside sat in the rain watching Airsoft videos right now The gun in question - in other pic was dirty as been in mud / dirt

The weapon he has is a battery powered toy gun that cost £5 - its not a Airsoft gun - its not a RIF its a nerf gun that are sold in every toy shop throughout the country so I don’t see a issue. If children are not allowed toys guns that flash lights and are quite clearly a toy then something is up - if he had hold of one of my RIF’s i could understand but he isn’t

It’s a military estate so everyone has combats on

We still have shitloads at work despite everyone supposedly being issued virtus - last time i used ecba was back in Northern Ireland. but yeah its not comfy They are some old practice grenades i found in the storage room at work during a sort out - had them years brought home for when the boys played soldiers out in the back garden

Eldest came home from school today so fitting him out with his kit ready for next weekend as he wasn’t keen on the ECBA i got him from my locker at work

Scopes fitted

Everyone has different opinions but i loved using the 86 back before it was phased out

Loved the L86 , was a big awkward bastard but if you needed to put rounds down there was nothing more accurate.

Used to drive this Celica GT4 - now drive this

Had a lovely omega sea master , got it back in 1997 for my 21st. However my delightful ex wife gave it to the bloke she was shagging whilst i was out in Afghanistan back in 09. Gutted as was gift from my grandparents and they died not long before i deployed. Hope to get another but prices have shot up dramatically since i got that one
