JerseyRider Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 There is a thing called the VCRA act that prevents people with out a defence buying a RiF The airsofters defence is the UKARA which requires you to play 3 games in no less than 2 months to register BUT this does not effect players that already own RiF but the question is how are you going to get it over here??

I can transport it in a locked hard case. In the USA it is even legal to transport real firearms this way as long as it is in check in luggage. Is there a FPS limit in the UK? My M4 is around 500fps but i am going to get a adjustable valve for it so i could get it below 350 fps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Rock-climby-Dave Posted April 14, 2010 Supporters Share Posted April 14, 2010 My local site is 350FPS +10% tolerance for all AEG's or auto firing weapons 400FPS +10% tolerance for all Semi-auto only weapons 500FPS +10% tolerance for all bolt actions the tolerance is for their chrono rather than anything else. F&O's indoor/CQB limits are to 350FPS on ANYTHING gas weapons are subject to being chrono'd randomly to ensure you aren't using more powerful gas or whatever than when you chrono'd in the morning.
