Just had a chat with a local ex met police officer who is now the head of security for the large company that own the woods where these kids shoot, he is not happy with the police response and knows all the Sgt's and more importantly the Inspector so is now taking this on and will now work with...

I didn't get the impression he did, as he said its easy to make it look realistic! I've had a look on the UKARA site and he is not listed.

I have spent yesterday afternoon trying to establish where these kids are getting these airsoft guns so I can try to find out what information they are being given about the laws, obviously there is the internet, but Cornwall being Cornwall there are very few retailers, however I have found one...

Thats very interesting, previously we have tried to get the inspector for the area and all we keep getting is a sgt who basically says the same thing as his officers, to quote' there just toys' 'no crime has been committed' etc etc, so its very hard to get anywhere. I suppose they hope by...

Yeah that is one way to go, but are they really independent?? or are they like ombudsman's and generally take the side of who's paying them !! God I sound cynical !!! :unsure:

I agree, I dont think the papers are the correct way, but unfortunately its these parents who are sending the kids down and as the police are saying its not a crime they take no notice of what I say, to them its out of sight, out of mind, until one of them gets hurt then we all know what will...

Just an update for those who may be interested. Following on from the saga and because of the police and there lack of interest in the law this situation is still on going. I did contact UKARA and initially they did seem interested, but for some reason things just fizzled out with that line of...

I have alot of respect for people in what they do when they do it properly as you all clearly do, I'm not such a stranger from this environment as I grew with Firearms around me, both of my parents had FAC's with guns to match, 45's, 38's, blackpowder, shotguns, .22 and air rifles, so I have the...

I think the issue I am having with the local police is the 'Definition' of these guns, they seem to think because they are coloured they are not a Imitation Firearm they are toys and because they are minors the law doesn't apply to them.

so they are imitation firearms and come under the same laws then?

Hi Guys Back again! Can someone clarify for me the difference between these guns as it is not 100% clear. The ones that are black and to all intent and purpose look like the real thing are only available to someone who belongs to a club and are referred to as RIF's (realistic Imitation...

Many thanks for your quick responses, I will be contacting UKARA and hopefully get this resolved. Just as a matter of interest how far can these guns fire? And also how old do you have to be to own one? Cheers

Hope you can help me with some clarification on the law and airsoft firearms. We live out in the sticks in Cornwall and our property has a public footpath which runs by it, of which we own the land. On Saturday we had some kids come down with what looked like an air rifle partially covered...
