BUYING A AIRSOFT GUN - WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

UK REGULATIONS: BUYING A AIRSOFT GUN

We quite often get asked why we can't sell airsoft guns to just anyone, so have put together this brief guide to explain the rules and regulations.


In the UK there are requirements under law that have to be met when purchasing a Airsoft gun in the UK. This is a way to prove you will be using the airsoft gun for the purposes of playing Airsoft and not for other nefarious means.


Two Tone Weapons:

Two Tone weapons are Airsoft guns that are painted or coloured at least 50% a bright colour. You do not need any special memberships or meet any special requirements to purchase a two tone other than be over 18.


RIF's (Realistic Imitation Firearms)

RIF's are Airsoft guns that look and are coloured the same as a real firearm. In order to purchase a RIF you must meet the following criteria:

1. You are over 18.

2. You are and can prove one of the below applies to you:

  • You are a 'registered' airsofter with membership of an insured skirmish site. To be registered, you must attend a properly organised and insured airsoft site and play for at least three days over a period of no less 2 months. Even if you attend and play the three days in your first week, UKARA regulations require that a minimum of 56 days pass from the first day you attended before you can be registered. Most common defence is to be UKARA registered.
  • You are a member of a properly insured historical re-enactment group or society.
  • You are a film, television or theatre production company.
  • You are (or are acting on behalf of) a museum.
  • You are a Crown Servant in pursuance of your Crown duties.


Purchasing a RIF:

In order to purchase a RIF from us you will need to submit your UKARA Player Number or other valid defence to us. We will then validate the information you have provided prior to dispatching or selling in person the item(s). If you do not provide a valid defence this can hold up the dispatch process and may result in the order being cancelled and refunded minus a £10 admin fee.

Obtaining UKARA

To obtain entry onto the UKARA database there are two things you need to do.

Firstly you must become a member of Combat Airsoft. Becoming a member gives exclusive perks and benefits to you as a player including entry onto the UKARA database when eligible.

Secondly you must play a minimum of 3 games in no less than 2 months

Complete both these steps and a membership card will be issued with your UKARA number.

The bonus is while you are working towards your UKARA eligibility you can still enjoy all the perks and benefits being a member has to offer!
