    Retailers - Lack of understanding, over-cautious or maybe even cynical?

    I agree that the retailer could contact your site to get verification - so long as your site is willing to make the effort to reply. This may involve them searching through their records to ensure you have played the required number of games etc. The other coice is for you to register with...

    Checking someones UKARA number

    Checking the UKARA number is not your only option. Checking that could be difficult as a private seller. I think access is restricted to retailers who have joined up and paid to use the database. You could ask where they skirmish and call the site for confirmation. Or ask for a scan copy of...

    Battery won't charge help!

    Here is a link to an online battery charge time calculator. http://www.gamepod.com/battery_calculator.php For your 1200 battery and 250ma charger it shows betwwen 5 and 6 hours to fully charge. Worth trying that first before paying to send the gun back. Did you buy from a UK dealer? If so, it...

    Battery won't charge help!

    It probably needs a lot longer on charge. There is some information in the `guides' section of this forum - do you know the charge rate on trickle? A smart charger is very useful as they show a light when the battery is charged and then automatically goes to trickle charge - they only cost a...

    Complaining about a site?

    As this was your first game, would I be correct in thinking that you hired your gun/gear? Did you stay for the whole day? Did they provide any food/drink within the fees. If the answer to both the above is Yes then that would probably reduce your chances of getting a full refund if you did go...

    Going to France for a week, wanting to take the guns with me.

    Never seen any checks on luggage when getting on the ferries and hardly any checks by customs at either side. You could always be the odd one that gets pulled over so worth having your UKARA number and/or site membership with you. Why not give customs a call just to double check - you do not...

    Pyro accident @ The War and Peace Show

    It is not clear why she bought them or why she was taking one apart but she does say that they were supposed to have had any explosive removed and that was true of the others she bought. I would have thpought that something called a thunderflash was supposed to make some sort of bang - are they...

    Need a good place to buy start up gear

    By starter kit, do you mean boots, camo gear, face mask etc or are you looking for a starter gun as well? Your local site will probably do a hire package of gun, overalls, face/eye protection and some bbs - prioce seems to be between £15 and £25 depending on the site (some include lunch). That...

    BBgunsforless Scam or Not?

    Not sure that the site/seller is a scam but they do sell a lot of cheap stuff that would not be suitable for skirmishing. They also seem to only sell two-tones but do sell some that should be OK. Their pricing looks odd for some items - e.g. they are selling the ICS L85 A2 at a claimed discount...

    Royal Mail Vs. RIFs

    You would probably have been fine before making this post. Now it will have been picked up by the USA screening process and all packages to the Manchester area will get special scrutiny!!!!"

    Proving that I am a regular skirmisher?

    The generally accepted defence is to play 3 times in not less then 2 months (and not mor than 12 months). When you next play you cou;ld fill in the forms to register with UKARA - it is not a licence but just a database of players with a valid defence that makes it easy for retailers to check...

    Airsoft Operator needs you!

    What about your L85 review Ed - that convinced us to buy one - to be fair, it was your general comments about how good they are that convinced us - then read your review and saw how much you spent on upgrades!!!!!

    Manufacturing parts

    If you look at any of the airsoft retailer sites the only time they ask for proof of your defence (usually ask for your UKARA number) is when you buy a gun. If you want a RIF then you must have a defence, otherwise they can only sell you a two-tone (so long as you are over 18). For parts, there...

    Airsoft Operator needs you!

    Tried a few tiomes to visit the site but keep getting a `time out' message. Maybe just too many people trying to access the site just now or need a more powerful server? Tried some links from other forum posts and they worked fine so it does not look like a problem with my internet connection.

    Airsoft Defence Wording

    Should be covered in clause 37 but airsoft is not mentioned.

    Airsoft Defence Wording

    Does anyone know where the actual wording for the airsoft defence can be found? googled VCRA and could not find airsoft listed in the legislation defences but obviously it is out there somewhere.
