    Airsoft Guns: The Ultimate Guide for Beginners

    Airsoft guns, also known as BB guns or replica firearms, are becoming increasingly popular among hobbyists and enthusiasts. These guns are designed to shoot small plastic pellets, and are often used for sport and recreation, as well as for training and simulation exercises. Whether you're a first-time airsoft player or just looking to try something new, this guide will provide you with everything you need to know to get started with airsoft guns.

    Basics

    First and foremost, it's important to understand the basics of airsoft guns. These guns are typically powered by either electric motors, compressed gas, or spring-loaded mechanisms.

    Electric motor-powered guns, also known as AEGs (Automatic Electric Guns), are powered by rechargeable batteries and are typically the most popular type of airsoft gun. Compressed gas-powered guns, also known as GBBs (Gas Blowback Guns), use compressed gas as a propellant and are typically more powerful than AEGs.

FAQs

1.     What is a BB gun used for?  BB guns are mostly used for practice shooting and training. The stronger ones (i.e. Air Rifles) can also control pests or hunt small animals.

2.     Do you need a Licence in the UK for a BB gun? No, you don't need a licence for a BB gun in the UK, but there are rules. The BB Gun needs to be in two colours; one has to be a primary. All our guns are on the website as per default.

3.     Is a BB gun a good weapon?   BB guns, despite sometimes being seen as toys, can be dangerous. They fire pellets at high speeds and can cause serious harm, or even be deadly in some situations.

4.     Can you shoot BB guns in public in the UK without a Firearm license? BB guns in the UK navigate a legal grey area. While certain models, notably low-power 'soft air' types, typically evade classification as section 1 firearms, more potent versions may require a valid firearms certificate to avoid legal repercussions.

5.     Can you shoot a BB gun in your garden? You can use a BB gun in your garden under UK law, but you have to ensure the pellets don't go into your neighbour's yard, plot or land. If they do and you don't have permission, it's against the law.

6.     Which UK law am I breaking if the pellets go into my neighbour's law without permission?  If your BB gun pellets go into your neighbour's yard without permission, you're breaking UK laws. Specifically, the 1968 Firearms Act and possibly the 2003 Anti-Social Behaviour Act, because you may be causing your neighbours trouble or worry.
