m1tch Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Hi all, I am brand new to airsofting and I am aware of the fact that im not allowed to purchase an airsoft gun in the correct colours due to not having been airsofting yet/been registered meaning I can only purchase 2 tone guns. I was just wondering this, to avoid shelling out on hiring guns for my initial matches would it be ok to purchase a 2 tone gun, practice with it and then take it to a match where I could then cover up the brighter colours with a camo cover of some sort? Outside of matches the gun would be in the 2 tone legal requirement, but would allow me to use my own gun for the required number of matches, from then I could repaint the gun to the correct colours/scheme I want it to be. Would this be legal or does the gun need to be in 2 tone all the time until registered? Just wondering really I do find it rather odd that my higher power CO2 .177 revolver (at around 3 joules) doesn't need to be 2 toned due to the fact its too powerful to be an airsoft gun lol but hey!

Tariq Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Camo netting or camo tape or whatever is allowed as its a non permanent thing. However you should take it off after skirmishes. Once you have UKARA or a valid defence you may use a permanent solution such as paint/spraying your gun. And yes the rule doesnt make sense at times but hey, its the law Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m1tch Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 Cool. yeah I would of course take it off as soon as the match ends, I will have a think about it, it might just be worth me hiring all the equipment initially until I get myself registered etc, I am guessing the higher end full metal guns don't exactly come 2 toned lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigshep Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Don't worry too much about the colour giving you away. If I can creep up on someone dressed as an 18st green and red elf, then moving carefully with a green gun isn't a biggy. However if you are over 18 then you may as well just go 3 times and get your site membership which would allow you to purchase a rif. Would be cheaper in the long run and would mean you are not trying to sell a second hand 2 tone, which you will loose money on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, sounds like a plan then, I will hire the kit to start with (just need to find the nearest her Hertfordshire, nothing is ever close) and I can sort something.

jaeproductions Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Lol I always wondered why air pistols don't have to be two-toned. The law is f*cking stupid at times, but I blame the twats that tried to ban airsofting...they were just jealous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
