What the hell is a "militarised" Famas? That's like saying a militarised tank.

Does this Evo advert still need to be featured? It finished weeks ago, but it's still at the top of the classifieds section:

Black Hawk Down, there are a bunch of M727 and M733s carried by Delta in that movie.

Inokatsu, they're about $1000, so the same price as the actual firearm.

Yeah, it's the same guy, it's taken him 6+ months to setup the forum again, using the 2 year old vBulletin 5 software, instead of the latest. It might have stood a chance if he had done it right away. I doubt even the scammers will join and if they do, nothing will happen to them. It's dead, Jim.

7/10. Great poster, probably not German. Grammar could be improved. Would read again.

Just form a new limited company, happens all the time.

The frame and slide are after market. Not sure what kit has been used, but it looks good. Most "nickel" or silver airsoft pistols look crap, overly chromed and unrealistic...the above doesn't, so it's entirely possible the nickel plated parts costs £100+ by themselves.

It takes several days, so that's completely normal. It might be longer with it being around Christmas. I doubt you'll see any movement until at least the end of next week.

That's correct, the limit for autos & shotguns is 1.3 joules, the limit for semi-autos or single shot is 2.5 joules. So an airsoft pistol could legally run up to 2.5 joules assuming it's semi-auto (1 shot per trigger pull).

I've been through this several times, the last one was just last week. You've already been given the advice you need, but I thought I would add to this thread... They can absolutely seize it under Section 36 of VCR Act: "(7) A realistic imitation firearm brought into Great Britain shall be liable to forfeiture under the customs and excise Acts." The defences in Section 37 apply when you are charged with an offence, which Border Force aren't doing. In reality they will release it to you provided you have a defence, at least they have in all of my seizures going back 10+ years. The letter does cover it, but if it isn't clear, you want "Restoration". Write to them at the address provided, make sure your name and address is on the letter, provide them with your defence, IE, UKARA number and the site you play at. They have access to UKARA, which makes me think maybe it wasn't on the box, or wasn't clear. I would also advise to add your email on it to and ask them to contact you that way if there are any further issues, you don't want to be going back and forth by post. You also have to provide an invoice or receipt of the goods, again this should have your name and address on. Failing that, Border Force do take bribes; Send them a box of Ferraro Rochettes and all your problems will be solved. Good luck.

It did apply, because Section 57 of Firearms Act (definition of a firearm) was amended in 2017 that would have encompassed airsoft guns, but they created Section 57a (airsoft exemption) at the same time, this was done using Policing and Crime Act 2017.

...Because that's not the law, it's not as if the police and courts forgot to enforce it. Yes a blind judge could rule airsoft guns as air weapons and thus a firearm, in the same way they could rule that a sausage roll is a car and is subject to vehicle exercise duty. But in the absence of such hypotheticals becoming reality, airsoft guns are not air weapons. I should also point out that if Section 57A of the Firearms Act was somehow nullified and airsoft guns became air weapons, it would remove airsoft guns from Section 36 of VCR Act, because it doesn't apply to firearms. Meaning two tones would cease to exist and RIFs as we know them would actually become more prevalent to the general public.
