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:
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.

The Ares S&W 686 3.5-inch CO2 Revolver is a masterfully crafted, full-metal replica of the classic L-Frame wheel gun. Featuring a stunning silver electroplated finish and genuine walnut wood grips, this model stands out with its rare adjustable TDC hop-up system for enhanced accuracy. Supplied with six realistic metal shells and a moon clip, it is the perfect choice for collectors and skirmishers seeking ultimate realism.
The Ares S&W 686 (APR-002) sets a new standard for airsoft revolvers, blending iconic 1980s styling with high-end modern internals. This 3.5-inch barrel variant offers the perfect middle ground between a compact snub-nose and a full-sized service revolver, providing excellent balance and a realistic weight of approximately 910g. The body is constructed from a heavy-duty zinc alloy, treated with a stainless steel-effect electroplating that is both durable and visually striking.
While most airsoft revolvers suffer from limited range due to fixed hop-ups, Ares has integrated a Top-Down Centre (TDC) adjustable hop-up into the 686 series. Accessible via an Allen key, this system allows you to fine-tune the backspin on your BBs, providing the kind of consistency and range usually reserved for high-end semi-automatic pistols. The double-action trigger is smooth and deliberate, while the single-action hammer pull is exceptionally crisp.
Note: This model is powered by a standard 12g CO2 capsule. To maintain the longevity of the internal seals, we recommend applying a drop of silicone oil to the tip of the CO2 capsule before insertion.
