hey i'm new to airsoft even though I've known about it for years when i was young i went airsofting with my dad and his mate and since then i've always been interested in the sport, im 18 now and a relative gifted me his beat up rifle and i want to start going again, however i have a few questions since i haven't been airsofting in years and don't own a UKARA license am i allowed to use this weapon since its all black or do i have to get it painted? also do guys have any recommend UKARA supported sites in southern England that i should visit many thanks

No need to paint it, ownership of a RIF is not a crime.

As jcheeseright says. BTW you might want to say where you're based as there's a lot of sites 'down south'

Just find the sites near you on here: http://www.airsoftmap.net/Skirmish/

 

Gun is fine don't need to do anything, UKARA is all about purchasing new Realistic imitiation firearms not existing ones.

 

You also need some protective gear, face mask etc. Some of the sites will let you rent just that but you'll soon want your own if you intend to stick to it. Ammo, battery and hopefully you are good to go.

As well as goggles/mask make sure you have gloves (those finger/knuckle shots do hurt) and ankle supporting boots.
