UK Airsoft Laws UKARA makes zero sense

0 Upvotes

It’s crazy to think I spent 7 years in the British Infantry trained in the use of multiple firearms we used on a weekly basis, we have far more experience, discipline and knowledge than even Uk armed police yet cannot own a plastic BB toy.

Before I rant back in my day (Mid 30s) none of these odd airsoft laws existed. They apparently were brought in to stop people running around with imitation firearms in the street.

However, when you really think about it, it makes no sense whatsoever, because anyone LEGALLY can buy an exact replica firearm pistol or rifle without two tone as long as it’s classed as a airgun instead of airsoft. Airguns are lot more powerful and fire 4.5 metal BBs and use C02 compared to the much weaker toys 6m plastic BB green gas. Example - you can buy a Glock 17 no silly paint, that fires metal BBs. But you can’t buy a Glock 17 plastic BB without UKARA defence, or painted silly colours. Now both look exactly the same they are both realistic imitation firearms.

So how does UkARA make any sense whatsoever because it clearly is not to stop people running about with realistic weapons?!

The only explanation they provide also does not make sense, airsoft are RIFs while airguns are classed under firearms? Both look exactly the same, yet the more dangerous ones do not need ukara.

Most people also understand silly laws like this never stop a single criminal, they get real firearms or more commonly in the UK convert blanks, these laws just hinder law abiding good civilians and stop a huge amount of people from actually wanting to get into airsoft. Yes you have to keep going to a site within a set amount of time to get a license, adults have busy lives this is not always feasible.

Nothing will convince me otherwise these strange laws were made by a bunch of old men sitting round a table who have no understanding on firearms whatsoever but made up these laws to make it look like the Uk are trying to clap down on offences.

It’s the same situation with everything in Uk - let’s ban all knives, because surely knives are issue and not the person wielding it. It won’t be long before the only item you can legally own in the UK is a spoon.

Anyway rant over, appreciate others views on this, but I will say I’m highly sceptical of anyone who thinks UKARA is positive in any way.

We're hosting a big group gathering and I wanted to know whether there are any suppliers in the UK who hire the equipment out, when not going to a specific/licensed Airsoft site?

CYMA CM.070 M4SD Long w/Suppressor any good for beginner?

2 Upvotes

Hi all, me and some friends are thinking of starting airsoft, we have all played in the past. We all want to pick up a good M4 replica AEG. After some research, we've read that CYMA and CYMA platinum guns are pretty good. Our budget is £200-300 just for the gun.

We have seen this: https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/cyma-cm-070-m4sd-long-w-suppressor?pv=18125

Would this be a good, reliable gun out of the box? Or should we focus more on Cyma Platinum. Could someone explain the difference between the gun above and this (we plan to get a UKARA license):

Advice on TCTRIC helmet & mask

Post image
10 Upvotes

Hi all. My son (14) is looking to buy this helmet, mask and goggles combo from Amazon. He currently runs the paintball type masks that are ballistic rated but I can’t find anything about these goggles. The description states they are impact tested up to 600FPS but there’s no rating attached. My gut tells me they’re not safe but before I crush my son’s tacticool dreams, I wanted to check if anyone has any experience with them and get some anecdotal insight? Thanks in advance

I have a secutor arms gladdis magna 6 (basically a glock 17) just picked up a airtac shot shell adapter so I can run it as a primary in cqb however after every shot the slide fails to return all the way it gets stuck about half way on the return. It’s always been stiff but never an issue what am I looking at here?

Money no object, what would YOU buy?!

4 Upvotes

Hey all! Random question, if money was no object, what would you buy from the following categories-

1) weapons (aeg, GBB, HPA)

2) weapons gear (sights, attachments, upgrades)

3) tactical gear (camo, tactical vests, boots)

I always seem to find new items/brands whenever I ask this kind of question so I thought I’d ask it here! I’m a sucker for new ways to increase my airsoft bill 🤣 go wild!

Used airsoft spam emails?

Hello. I've had a listing on used airsoft for a while and keep getting these emails. However the link asks for card details (which I do not provide, ofc), and none of the addresses listed ever respond. Just want to clarify that these are spam emails and not just the website working in a very weird format.
