Guest PT247 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 why would you want to change the colour of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NER0000 Posted August 15, 2016 Author Share Posted August 15, 2016 Don't you have to have one that don't look so realistic for the first few months in till I become a ukara member? Or will I still be able to use the gun at all the airsoft games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PT247 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 No one is allowed to sell you a RIF (Realistic Imitation Firearm) unless you have a defence, which if you are just starting out you do not have yet unfortunately, if someone did sell you one they would be breaking the law, if you are under 18 you are not allowed to by an IF (Imitation Firearm) either so even if it were pink it would not be allowed. If however you already have a RIF then you have no requirement to paint it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NER0000 Posted August 15, 2016 Author Share Posted August 15, 2016 I'm glad I checked now so I can only buy a IF gun then me and a mate are looking at doing our first game Sunday if all goes well I'm 27 so can get the lf no problem am I right in thinking I need to go to 3 events with a minimum 2 months to get a RIF gun? Thank you for the advice buddy you've been a big help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PT247 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Aye, best thing to do is rent for the 3 games in not less than 2 months and then once you register with UKARA buy a RIF. If you are impatient then you can get the gun you want painted by the shop you buy it from, some don't charge but others do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunty Pasty Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 It's not a minimum of 2 months but over at least 2 months. So 3 games in 1 month (you need to wait another month) doesn't count but 3 games over 3 months does count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"at least" = "minimum" He had it right the first time, 3 games over a minimum of/at least/not less than 2 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg147 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 No way of knowing without seeing the details, particularly the manufacturer. I'd be wary of second hand sales for a first gun though, it's worth the extra money to get something from a shop that you know is going to work, and will take returns if anything is faulty. I was lumped with a second hand RIF as my first which turned out to be rubbish. Not a fun way to start the hobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
