Seriously don't buy that. I've seen cheapies like that fall apart in the first couple of hours of a skirmish. The bodies are also very thin plastic and hole from being hit by BBs. ____________________ Spain 2008France 2007Big one 2009 We all die.

If everyone was happy with the idea though I think airsoft could be a good plan, particularly instead of paintball - its a lot cheaper for starters.

Its a bit like using torrents - someone, somewhere, got fined £100,000 for downloading one film, whilst everyone else downloaded films all year round without any problem. Theres a few lines between being sensible, cautious and overly concerned .
Itchy wrote: | While these things don't have standing in law. The issue is to make a good legal defence and reason as to why you own such a thing. | Last I was aware - ''Someone gifted it to me'' covers it. The legal restrictions apply to the manufacture, distribution and sale of immitation firearms, not what happens to them after the point of sale (assuming you have a bit of common sense storing/transporting/where you use it). For example, there is nothing to stop a parent with UKARA buying a black AEG and giving it to their 12 year old kid if its only displayed and used at an airsoft site/private land (assuming it doesn't cause public disturbance/shots stay within the boundary of the land etc), technically, is there?
Itchy wrote: | BBs are cheap however I suspect Bubb's dad will want us to use organic biodegradable BBs. Else animals eat them and they die. | Thats a good point - although wouldn't make it much more expensive overall (especially if people planned it in advance and bought in bulk), either way it would be a lot cheaper than paintball if either did go ahead. |

Whenever next year's is I'm definitely coming. I'll plan several days to allow travel down from North of the wall...
Also own both paintball and Airsoft equipment so I'm ready for either |

I sort of agree, I can buy a crappy spring powered hand gun from a corner shop down the road for about a tenner. The shot gun on the other page would be a laugh for £20 odd quid.
If it happens it will be for shits and giggles, we're not talking Delta Force vs S.A.S here I don't really care if somebody turns up with a £200 rifle, I'm happy running around with a plastic fantastic piece of crap.
Happy to spend a bit more on biodegradable balls ____________________ I am a bellend, I am a man of constant sorrow, I am a gummy bear, I am a rock. |

I should probably put the bone down, but...
Lots of ways you can make airsoft items that aren't at all like 'real' guns for not much.
Ie - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ME1BcEcBD9I
I've wondered in the past about having a couple of barrels mounted on your arm (no extra unnecessary replica fluff) - a fully auto connected to an air tank and a sniper with a scope/camera on. Less kit to lug about, more maneuverability - maybe even have a fully auto on both arms for when lying on your side in a ditch etc.
Can get a basic (ie 250fps or so claimed) 2 tone AEG for £45, or just noticed this posted up in the local group as an idea for secondhand..
K-Warrior 1911 two tone GBB pistol - 70 ono
Black Viper G36C transparent - 50 ono
Balck viper M4 CQB (missing stock) - 30 ono
Double Eagle Famas spring - 30 ono
Double eagle M304 spring - 15 ono
(Don't have to worry about 'defence' for any of them if you do.) |

If that's yours, put your name in the not attending section. I predict RAC not BBQ |
