hello:)

Just thought I'd point out, even though it's already been said, DO NOT buy the crap from JBBG. I mean, in one of the guns you linked, they can't even spell "Polymer" correctly....................

 
ive now gone against getting that MP5 as all the videos ive watched have been 340fps+

 
Another little tip- don't buy orange guns unless you like them/all the regular under 18 players at your site has an orange gun. They just make you look like you buy trash off of JBBG etc.

 
Actionhobbies, Airsoft World, Wolfarmouries etc. all sell blue guns. I have always believed that the dark blue is less noticeable than bright orange, so I'd take a look on their two tone sections. The SW-10 I have was blue (I have since camo taped it and "ghillied" it.)

ask your site about the rules, normally it says 328fps +%5 (making it approx 350fps, so your 340fps+ should be fine)

Blue guns are illegal unless you have a valid defence.

Camo taping, 'ghillie' or otherwise hide the two-toning is also illegal, other than during a skirmish (must be removed afterwards) or if you have a valid defence.

Blue guns are NOT illegal other wise shop would not sell them!

the rules clearly state the colours to be used and blue is one of them!

 
I don't think that any colours are specifically stated. but I'm sure I've seen somewhere that blue doesn't count.

Either way retailers sell them anyway, but the g&g dark blue guns for example are borderline. It should be a bright colour, I guess retailers just ignore it.

Are you serious? That's the worst argument I've ever heard. A retailer doing something does not justify it legally -Remember bbguns4less is known for selling IF to under 18s, Bofors sells weapons to the usa and there's thugs in the uk selling semi automatic pistols, neither of them makes any of it legal.

If I am not mistaken, blue used to be on the list long time ago but have since been removed as various police forces uses blue weapons. White did also use to be on the list but have been removed as its used as snow camo.

Accepted bright colours are:

- Bright red

- Bright orange

- Bright yellow

- Bright green

- Bright pink

- Bright purple

The G&G dark blue is not a legal two tone colour. I do believe it's ignorance rather than knowingly breaking the law thou.

But hey, lets use common sense for once. Realistic Imitation Firearm.. Here's two practical tests: Would your granny be scare/intimidated/call the police if she saw this? Could a criminal successfully use this to rob a business or private person?

(oh and the answer is yes)

Blue is no longer an accepted two tone colour? That's news to my ears, well fair enough then, ignore what I said.

(Except the Just BB Guns bit, they're still ****.)

 
Meh, my new shotty is blue. However I did not get a say in which colour the site I bought it off would paint it, it was merely a check-box "RIF or 2Tone?" option.

edit: bright pink is allowed? Then why is G&G's bright pink "Femme Fatale" M4 classed as an RIF by proairsoftsupplies?

No, TacMaster, you did not break the law. They did and you can legally own it.

PUG, did you know what colour thou? In any case I dont think (however unsure as for now what the case would be if you knew it's colour) you have broken the law either.

As for the 'femme fatal', those that I have seen are legal to own without valid defence. Yet z1 homepage asks for UKARA (I do not know if its deliberate or just their standard procedure.. in any case the have no obligation to sell you).

I am all for reality check, as in my last post, HOWEVER, what if a bushmaster releases a venom green or bright orange rifle (like many knife manufacturers have done as of late)? If armed forces started to actually use them in combat that would be another matter.
