This link will show you the approved airsoft sites - playing at one of these three times over a period of between 2 and 12 months will give you a defence allowing you to purchase a RIF. The sites are listed by name rather than area so you will need to look through them all. Once you find a...

You give the cord 3/4 pulls and then it lasts until the mag is emptied. Only reason we switched was because we eree getting holes in the fingers of the glove from winding. Can't really say about reliability as only skirmished a few times with the flash mags. No problems so far but will comment...

If you don't like winding the mags then you can use the flash mags which will fire a full mag of bbs.

Not quite true. You can not buy an airsoft gun and your parents can only buy you a two-tone -BUT... if you are a regular skirmisher at a site that has third party insurance you will have a valid defence and then the VCRA does not stop you from either painting your two-tone or replacing the...

I think the answer is very simple. Paintball has been around for many years and far more people have heard about it than about airsoft. As others have said, the paintball community works hard at promoting their sport - had a stand at our local tesco for a week or so. I had friends who got very...

Found the following on the Durham County Council website faq section on public right of way- probably on others but this came up first on the google search. Although they do not cover airsofting they give an indication that should help. If you can use firearms over a public footpath then airsoft...

Looks like a lot of footpaths on the proposed site. Although they may not be used much at the moment you could well get them pout in force as soon as they hear of any application to use it for airsoft. Have you checked with the local council if they would allow it? The sites we have played at...

The only references I could find match with ScoobySnacks comments. there is an upper limit for an airgun before it bercomes classified as a firarm rather than a low powered firearm. There is then a reference to guns under 1 joule being considered toys and not covered by the firears acts but may...

Like F1 but spent many a day watching (and paying for) kart racing. Happily GCSE and a levels has put a hold on that and a move to the far more reasonable cost of airsoft. http://www.james-dehavillande-racing.info

Could perhaps understand it if you were buying an original full spec military one rather than a clone.

Did a google search for more information but everyone I looked at quotes the same - 12 ft/lb for a rifle and 6 ft/lb for a pistol as the maximum power and then the 1 joule lower limit as being outside the airgun definition but these may then be considered RIFs or Ifs. Then looked at joules to...

Found this definition on an airgun forum which might help a bit. There again, it may only add to the confusion!! Airguns in the UK are subject to the firearms acts, under the Firearms (Dangerous air weapons) rules 1969 they are classified as low powered Air Weapons and as such they are...

With your budget there are lots of G&G Top Techs to choose from. pro aiorsoft carry a good range - see link:- http://www.proairsoftsupplies.co.uk/acatalog/m4_and_m4_variants.html Some of the guys at proairsoft play at the Xsite lane end site which is woodland but with some cqb areas so...

The parents could always buy a gun that has been two-toned and providing the son is a regular skirmisher at a recognised site then the law does not prevent him from removing the paint to make it back to a RIF (or buy replacement parts for the painted ones).

From what I have read it seems that anyone over the age of 18 can buy a two-tone and gift it to someone aged under 18. Then, providing the under 18 is a regular skirmisher (at a recognised site?) they can the either repain it to make a RIF or buy replacement parts for the painted ones...

Despite all the replies you still seem to be getting confused between UKARA and the VCRA. Scrapping UKARA would not allow anyone under 18 (or over 18 without a valid defence) to buy a RIF - it would just remove a simple system that allows a retailer to check that they will not be breaking the...

The Crown prosecution website - http://www.cps.gov.uk/legal/d_to_g/firearms/#a033 has a definition which is difficult to understand but included the following:- An air weapon is defined, under section 1(3)( B) and 57(4) of the Firearms Act 1968 as: "an air rifle, air gun or air pistol which...

Da-sheriff - Either I have not made myself clear or you have not read my post properly. I would like to see a system wher you can buy a RIF if you have a valid defence. But - rather than the current system where you have to be over18 and play 3 games over not less than two months, I would like...

Would only want that for two-tones if there was a way for all genuine airsofters to buy RIFs - that wiould include a system where the parents of junior members could buy them. The only need for two-tones in airsofting is for the under 18's

Had a look at some US forums and there seems to be a bit of confusion about what is allowed etc. Some say the orange tips are only required when transporting the guns whilst others say they have to stay on when playing. It also seems to vary from state to state. I would still prefer a system...
