I wouldnt even bother, there was a new law brought in last year called the VCRA (Violent Crimes Reduction Act) which prevents the sale of Airsoft to anyone under 18 and if you are over 18 you can only buy guns that are painted bright neon colours like green and orange unless you are signed up with the UKARA (United Kingdom Airsoft Retailers Association) and have a legitimate reason for owning an Airsoft gun, you have to be a member of an Airsoft site and have played at least 3 games.

To be honest its not worth all the hassle these days as most places wont even sell you a gun unless you can prove you are on the UKARA database.

Wow didn't know there was new laws now... :wacko:

Wow - they really have made them look like toys haven't they! I remeber being into BB guns when I was in my teens and there being a local model shop which sold some really excellent ones. Typically then I had no disposable income so couldn't buy them.. and now I have plenty of disposable income, BB guns just look crap!

My mate used to have an excellent, pretty realistic desert eagle replica.. I think I've got a Sig Sauer in my parents loft at home somewhere!!

They were a bit dangerously realistic though. Kids under 18 could always have got their hands on exact replica's of the guns. I heard about a case where a teenager got shot since he had one.

I think if you buy them from Ireland they aren't so toy-like but I'm not sure if thats still true since my friends bought them a year ago or so.

    • This 4K webcam from Acer is now only $59.99 by Taras Buria Those looking for an affordable, high-resolution webcam from a reputable manufacturer can check out the latest deal from Acer, which puts its 4K webcam at a solid price. Thanks to a 14% discount, you can buy this all-metal 4K webcam from Acer for just $59.99. Despite the affordable price tag, the webcam has a pretty large 1/2" CMOS sensor manufactured by Sony. Apart from its size, it supports additional conveniences, such as high dynamic range and phase-detection autofocus (PDAF). Plus, the camera ensures you do not have to buy additional audio equipment, as it comes with two built-in high-sensitivity microphones, a built-in background noise filter, and the ability to pick up your voice from up to 2.5 meters away. Acer is not cheaping out on materials, and the webcam is enclosed in a more premium metal case, which is also good at heat dissipation (high-resolution cameras can get quite hot). And to make sure no one is peeping at you when the camera is in use, there is a magnetic cover also made of metal. Additional conveniences include an LED status indicator and a built-in mount that lets you place a camera on a tripod.
