    valid defence application

    This is a thread diversion as the question has pretty much been answered, but as there is a side conversation about two tones….. The legislation is the VCRA (and the Airsoft skirmisher defence is an add on by “statutory instrument”) There is no such thing as a “two tone” in the core...

    valid defence application

    Hire/rentals are highly recommended as the route to go as you get to try the game and get a feel of common gear to see if you like it Most players are happy to discuss their gear choices so you can see what’s about

    Semi Auto "SPAS 12"

    Not only for the civilian market, the original SPAS had the option of solid wood stock or folding stock. Polymer stocks then later replaced the wooden option. The “it’s the civilian version” comes from US laws, and appears to be misinterpreted as the origin of solid SPAS because everyone likes...

    Compression shirts in airsoft

    @Lozart has hit the target on the primary purpose of a compression shirt @DrFumbles you referenced keeping cool, so I assume it’s the wicking element that you are after. So go for something made of wicking material (some designs aim towards a degree of tightness which is partly aimed at...

    New to airsoft

    For Airsoft eye protection you must have a safety impact rating of EN166B That covers the impact rating of the lens, and should also cover the frames hold of the lens (Beware of dodgy sites that will advertise the lens impact and ignore the frame hold) Buy from a reputable Airsoft retailer and...

    Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread

    There’s plenty nutcases to go around (This guy however would most likely be classified as chav with a gun/guns) I do find that the type of people who do go for “home defence” don’t seem to understand that something used by people for recreational fun is going to be at best useless up against a...

    Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread

    I buy things to sell from a local auction. There have been quite a few times where items have had police evidence tags on them, and I’ve bought some of them I would hazard a guess that those have been sold on by the police force following a raid, perhaps due to other reasons such as drugs or...

    Where to sell gear

    In order of preference I would say the best 3 will be here, eBay and Vinted. But of course it doesn’t hurt to list across all at once, then cancel the rest when one sells. Here doesn’t incur fees, both eBay and Vinted say it’s free to sell but that just means that the buyer gets charged it...

    The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread

    Previously Airsoft in the UK potentially had higher energy/velocities depending on the site prior to legislation placing the joules limit Perhaps generally as different RIF types, but not necessarily limited to single shot As a comparison, paintballs 300fps tournament maximum is about the 12...

    The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread

    I can advise you that it is possible to “unsee”, however I don’t recommend it as should you ever see the thing again you experience the “horror of seeing it for the first time” followed by flashbacks as your brain realises that it had blanked out the original sighting I talk from experience

    Is a defence required for the sale of rif external parts

    What @Tackle said The VCRA does not distinguish between private and retail sales. It either applies or does not, in other words it’s a RIF or is not The seller is liable for the defence under a RIF sale, and the Airsoft defence is the “skirmisher defence” It does not specify what an acceptable...

    Painted MP5SD - Inspo needed!

    There have been a few threads about painting, and a recent one here Thread 'how’s the paint job?' https://airsoft-forums.uk/threads/hows-the-paint-job.54686/ Opinions vary as mentioned above about not painting at all, and to be honest in playing environments camouflage does little. It...

    It’s nice and complicated but also simple. VAT is always due, unless you’re buying something that is zero rated for VAT Pre Brexit anything from the EU was VAT paid at the source country Post Brexit we are an export from the EU, so technically if you are charged an EU counties VAT you can claim...

    Terminalsixairsoft now open

    @tacticalcolchester I’ll echo @Emergencychimps on taking feedback as intended, I almost turned the pipedream of site ownership into reality once, but it turned out that while we gossiped and then two of us were doing some rapid numbers in our heads we received the news that it was under new...
