AEG F17 Gas Blowback Pistol
Want to buy a realistic-looking black airsoft gun (RIF) from onlyBBguns? Because these guns look so real, UK law (the VCRA Act) requires you to have a valid reason, called a "defence," to own one. Essentially, you need to prove you're buying it for airsoft skirmishing (the sport itself), not for any other purpose.
Here's how you can demonstrate your defence to onlyBBguns and buy a black airsoft gun:
- Show proof of skirmishing: Gather evidence like photos and videos from airsoft games you've participated in. These should clearly show you actively involved in skirmishing, demonstrating your intent to use the gun for the sport.
- Become a registered skirmisher: The easiest way to prove your defence is by joining a recognized airsoft association and getting a membership card. The most common one in the UK is UKARA. This registration confirms you're a legitimate airsoft player.
Don't have either of those? No problem! You can still buy the airsoft gun. onlyBBguns can paint it in a two-tone colour scheme. This means part of the gun will be sprayed a bright, non-realistic colour. This makes the gun a "non-realistic imitation firearm" and avoids the restrictions of the VCRA Act. Anyone over 18 can legally buy a two-tone airsoft gun.

Step into the modern era of airsoft sidearms with the high-performance AEG F17 Gas Blowback Pistol! Modeled after the renowned striker-fired modular handgun platform adopted by modern armed forces, this full-size sidearm combines military-grade ergonomics with rugged internal construction to provide an exceptionally authentic, hard-kicking GBB shooting experience.
Full Metal Optic-Ready Slide & High-Kick Recoil
Engineered to withstand the demands of intense skirmishing, the AEG F17 features a heavy-duty full metal slide complete with front and rear charging serrations for effortless slide manipulation. Every trigger pull redirects gas pressure to drive the slide rearward, delivering a sharp, satisfying recoil kick and crisp mechanical action. The top of the slide is fitted with a removable rear optics plate, allowing players to easily mount micro red dot sights for quick target acquisition, while integrated 3-dot iron sights offer reliable, intuitive aiming straight out of the box.
Ergonomic Stippled Frame & Ambidextrous Controls
Underneath the durable metal slide sits a lightweight, high-density polymer frame with specialized stippled texturing, ensuring a firm, non-slip grip in wet or sweaty field conditions. Designed with modern tactical versatility in mind, the F17 comes equipped with fully ambidextrous thumb safeties and slide catch levers, making it equally intuitive for left- and right-handed operators or off-hand shoulder transitions during room-clearing drills.
Modularity, Efficiency & Tactical Adaptability
Internally, the F17 utilizes a self-contained modular trigger unit that delivers a clean break and rapid reset for precise semi-automatic fire. The included green gas magazine is fitted with an extended baseplate that enhances reloading ergonomics while holding ample gas capacity to mitigate cool-down during rapid strings of fire. An integrated lower 1913 Picatinny accessory rail allows for seamless attachment of tactical flashlights or aiming lasers.
Whether you need a reliable primary pistol for high-speed indoor play or a hard-hitting backup for MILSIM operations, the AEG F17 Gas Blowback Pistol delivers modern ergonomics, optic capability, and field-ready reliability.

Stating what the problem is, if we can resolve the problem via phone or email great if not then they will advise how to send it back and what details we require.
Two tone
We can two tone any weapon we sell at Bespoke Airsoft. The purpose for two toning is if you do not hold a valid defense under the Violent Crimes Reduction Act (VCRA, 2006) which is to prevent the misuse of Replica Weapons, which applies in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The gun will be sprayed 51% in a bright/primary color (we do only blue, green and red currently). The process of two toning currently runs at 2 working days depending on Drying Time, which is effected by Ambient Temperature and Weather. and currently no express delivery is available for this even if you select it at checkout.

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.
