Airsoft and UKARA

[WildGoose]

so, after popping onto zero one airsoft to have a quick look around, I find that next to the purchase box it now says "requires UKARA registration" before you can purchase any airsoft gun. Reading below you will see you are now required to prove that you have a good reason to buy the weapon

I knew the rules were getting stricter on immitation firearms, but I didn't expect it to turn into quite this much hassle. And if you don't choose to go airsofting 3 times every 2 months, you are stuffed, basically.

Yet another example of this frustrating nanny state, and the few ruining it for the many.

Doubt I will ever bother getting a proper airsoft gun now, too much hassle, and i'm sure thats the desired effect, so well done to those who introduced it.

Hopefully a website will pop up before long, happy to sell you one no questions asked, but I doubt it.

tip - dont buy off an english site. theres plenty of irish/yank/chinese shops online that will post to you no probs.

Bloody hell, so that's where all the airsoft retailers went.

Nice one Zanu Labour, another BAN that'll so sort out crime.

Pathetic. But I'm ok jack, I've already got my armoury.

I have a Full metal Classic army M15 that I might consider selling - I haven't been in ages!

And I won't spray it bright pink for you either

one of the reasons i stopped, i used to play on public land, with council and police authorisation, out of the way of public but obviously not a UKARA registered site, this means that although i played every sunday from 10 til late im still not allowed to buy more guns.....


this government suck balls..


Cheers

stinkwheel Well I just had my hands up a pigs fanny. Which makes your concerns pale into insignificance.

How the rest of the world must be laughing at us. Most other countries you can own a proper firearm, here in this balless shithole it's now become a major frigging deal to own a FVCKING TOY!

And as the screw gets torqued down a bit harder we wait...and wait...and wait to hear the merest squeak of protest from the public. But no, nada...wouldn't say a dicky bird if the govt passed legislation allowing civil servants to come into your home and rape your wives and daughters.

What a truly PATHETIC population of spineless CVNTS!

Not much point to the scope unless the rifle has a vortex barrel (rifling to air-spin the BB). Does look nice though.

If having a licence system stops chav kids getting springers through the local markets and scaring the grannies then I'm all for it.

Yes its a pain but its better than getting all your airsoft guns melted because some moron wants to wave around a Beretta in the high street, Then mothers against guns or what ever they call themselves now will then claim that they can eaisily be converted to fire real ammo.

And the trouble is Joe public belives all this nonsence.

I need more info about this airsoft. It sounds awesome! Once went on an exchange to Germany and this guy had some massive airsoft gun. then he said that they went down to the local disused industrial area at the weekends and shot each other. I thought "WTF!" at the time.

And that beast of a gun for £157 delivered... nice!

Where do you guys all do this? Are you all members of clubs, or do you just get together with mates in woods for example?

2 or 3 sites around Scotland, I'm only 5 mins away from this site...
