NABV is a association, like a football association. but the only one with recognition from the goverment. other associations have asked for recognition but didn't get it because of a political gameplay between the gov. and NABV
if you buy a new replica in NL you will be registrated. If you buy it outside NL you will not be registrated. most of us buy in asia because its cheaper.
If you sell a replica you may only sell it to outside NL or to a other NABV member
if you're not a NABV member:
- you can not join alone events (only as intro from a NABV member)
- if you have replica's and police knows this you will get arrested and guns seized and destroyed and registrated as "weapon criminal" (after 5 years wou will lose thes status
- if you have replica's you have to store and play outside NL te be legal
to become a NABV memer:
- you have to ask by the gov. for a decleration of good behavor. cat. weapons (if you are registrated for criminal fact you won't get this paper)
- pay €84,- every year
- store your replica's in a closed space with a lock. (a dressing closet with a hanginglock is good enough) I self have a weapon safe because there are expensive toys
