Goofynose Posted September 1, 2016 Author Posted September 1, 2016 Nobody else does that. Okay, good to know So I'm assuming ,if I somehow manage to import my RIFs in the UK, I only need the booking/ticket to the event I'm attending, even though I'm not part of a club?
typefish Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 1j definitely for Ireland. Looks like Scotland is/is about to go 1j. Right lads, those Scottish snipers on Hadrians wall have only 1j to play with, our superior English fire power will soon see em off.... someone go draw a line 1j shot away from the wall, everyone stand behind that... Scotland will follow England and Wales' law with regards to Airsoft guns. So, the 1.3J/2.5J rules.

If you look at the Police Scotland website, it does actually mention that Airsoft guns fit within the 1.3J/2.5J pattern are exempt from being registered as air weapons. Get caught up mate, the new bill has to pass first. Note the use of the word "will".
Sacarathe Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 Note the use of the word "will". Will and "is going to" are not synonymous.
Goofynose Posted September 8, 2016 Author Posted September 8, 2016 Quick update. I contacted the Police National Legal Database (excellent service by the way, they replied within 15 minutes to my email) and they told me to phone 101. So I phoned 101 and asked to speak to an operator, I then explained to him that I would have liked to import my RIFs from Italy and that if he could explain me the legislation regarding that process. Basically what I was told was that it would be perfectly fine and there shouldn't be any problems, however the package will go through X-Ray so he advised that I put markings on the boxes saying they are airsoft guns and he added that the package would probably be opened anyway. Note that no mention was made of the VCRA or UKARA or anything like that so I'm not too sure what to make of this.

You've not said who will be operating the xray machine/inspection, can the people you spoke to even speak for border force?
Supporters jcheeseright Posted September 8, 2016 Supporters Posted September 8, 2016 Yeah, 101 puts you through to a phone monkey not a legal expert. If you want a cast iron way of doing this: hire and get on the UKARA database. Otherwise 2-tone your guns.
Supporters jcheeseright Posted September 8, 2016 Supporters Posted September 8, 2016 1 joule??? Thought it was max 1.3j for an AEG and a max of 2.5j for single shot. Not actually law yet, no power limit is defined in law at the moment.
