Care to help me find my 2nd airsoft gun to buy :)

Aw, c'mon guys. Give the kid a break. 

First off, you cannot buy a Airsoft weapon under the age of 18. Somebody over 18 can buy it for you as a gift but it cannot be exchanged for money. Unless they have a UKARA licence* 50% of it must be painted in a bright colour. 

Do not try and get around this. It will be stopped by customs and seized or destroyed. Even if you get around it it's illegal. Don't risk it. If you are ordering abroad, chances are it will be stopped by HMRC and you'll have to pay import taxes and a handling fee. This is 25% of the item cost.  

As for your starter gun, have a look at the G&G CM16. It's an excellent starter AEG and is under £150. Forget the action cam. I get the whole aspect of recording your gameplay for YouTube but you should put that money into your gun.

Definitely look into the laws regarding Airsoft in the UK. There's multiple threads on this forum to help new players. Look at some of the pinned ones here:

* edit: UKARA is a defense, not a licence. My mistake!

I get it, he's a know nothing noob, but his attitude will make him no friends.

& as you've pointed out, what he proposes to do, which he believes he can get away with, is highly illegal.

so when he gets caught, which he will, that's another nail in the airsoft coffin.

im new to this forum, but not to airsoft, 16+ years playing, so when every noob with 5mins gametime under his belt spouts shite, I lose all feelings of comraderie or sympathy,so excuse my sarcasm, the alternative is a tear these "players" a new one.

Oh, to see a world full of opportunities through 15 year old eyes again.  He'll come right, most of us do.

Disagree with that

A gaggle of geese 

A troop of monkeys

A pack if dogs

A cockwomble of airsofters

A raft of ducks

Airsofters are generally a nightmare.
