A MoD 90 is not a VCRA Defence. The “crown servant defence” is in “the performance of their duties” - as a member of the forces you get given your firearms, and where applicable alternatives If a soldier etc wants an SA80 to practice drill in their room then a coloured IF would do If buying...

Those are valid defences and a retailer ought to be willing to sell (but aren’t obliged to, if they wanted to be picky a retailer might choose to only sell specific RIF types to renactors, eg not selling an M4 to a WW2 group Is the “impossibility” the checkout process not allowing for other...

Note that the document you have linked to quotes the number of visits / duration requirement but not as part of legislation. As @Neptune has noted it references the Statutory instrument introducing the Airsoft Defence (to be pedantic it is ‘secondary legislation’ that supplements the VCRA...

No mention on this thread, but there are pictures elsewhere on this forum and it’s being fitted onto a black RIF (which does not show signs of having been painted) so it is not modifying an IF to a RIF As you have just confirmed that you don’t know what it is to be fitted for, my (very...

As a part, a rail is not a RIF, but if an IF is modified to a RIF by changing/modifying with a non bright rail then that may be an offence If it’s already a RIF then modifying a rail is not an offence, if it’s an IF then it is an offence to modify into a RIF. VCRA offences are always an...

If sold in the UK they “should” be safe, and should have specifications in the product safety sheet Sites should also have a policy on their use https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/laser-radiation-safety-advice/laser-radiation-safety-advice Consumer laser products in the visible...

At our first event one of the faction leaders wore a bomb vest t-shirt below the rest of his clothing, went for a stroll, walked into the back of enemy HQ, lifted up his top to show the t-shirt announcing his presence as “bang, you’re all dead” Our recent team recruit on his first experience of...

My last import was a few years back, not a RIF so just import VAT & handling $294.70 declared value from the USA (MI was keen on timing as I wanted it for an event, so was calling the help desk to check the progress. During my calls to the help desk there was a valuation & fee, but not...

It can sometimes be quick and at other times take forever You will have two things to deal with: 1) It’s a UK legal import, you would need to complete a VCRA declaration form. (Potentially incorporating a firearms declaration) 2) Pay customs / import charges - expect to be charged 20% of the...

No worries, just an idea

Do you really need to cut it down and make a taller one? Risers are available in many lengths and heights, and Airsoft metal bodies are made of special magic metal that will do the exact opposite of what you expect

And the websites registered address is the international centre of internet fraud www.nytimes.com/2024/10/09/business/iceland-online-disinformation-identity-theft.html They could have only done better at me recognising the address if they were at Savushkina Street

That’s an excuse for doing nothing. It’s correct that chrono checks do not prevent the player adjusting later nor does it prevent innocent changes such as a cold day warming up and gas based systems changing velocity Doing nothing means the site has made no effort in safety In the event of...

Tell them it’s an upgraded Armalite AR18 and watch their cogs melt

Play how you like, play more and it gets easier You could continue your style where you are and/or could look into other events. MilSim events are an obvious suggestion, but just a larger event whether themed or not can be a very different experience to a local site A typical site has the...

@Adolf Hamster has hit it, that for most players a pistol is just another weight sat in a holster (and if you have a drop leg then it affects your ability to run about with a wobbly weight on your thigh) If it’s an emergency secondary for a problem with your primary then learn to maintain or...

Just a peasant then

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...

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

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...
