From the 1st of October 2007, the laws regarding airsoft guns are changing. This is a brief summary of those changes, more information can be found here:
(The Violent Crime Reduction Act)
If you are under 18 years of age, it will be illegal for you to buy an airsoft gun. It will also be illegal for anyone to sell one to you, whether you are a skirmisher or not.Over 18s will have to prove that they are airsoft skirmishers. They can do this by taking out membership of an airsoft site which holds third-party liability insurance. In order to facilitate remote selling, UKARA the retailers organisation, has set up a database to which sites can submit their members details. Once a player is verified & on the database, any UKARA member can quickly check that a purchaser is entitled to buy an airsoft gun. Everyone will be able to buy parts, gas, ammo and accessories without membership.
