Huntsman H17 Gas Blowback Pistol (Polymer Body/Slide - Black V2)
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.

Gain a tactical edge in cycle speed, gas conservation, and stealth performance with the upgraded Huntsman H17 Gas Blowback Pistol (Polymer Body/Slide - Black V2)! Designed for airsoft operators who value lightweight sidearm handling, snappy recoil action, and all-black low-profile aesthetics, this Version 2 polymer gas blowback (GBB) pistol brings enhanced reliability and modern tactical styling directly to the field.
Upgraded V2 Polymer Build & High Gas Efficiency Constructed with both a durable high-density polymer slide and frame, the Huntsman H17 V2 minimizes sidearm mass without compromising structural strength. Finished in a matte black tactical coating, this V2 iteration incorporates optimized internal nozzle seal tolerances and improved gas routing. Because the lightweight polymer slide requires less gas expansion to cycle than heavier metal alternatives, the H17 V2 achieves superior gas efficiency, immediate trigger response, and consistent muzzle velocity during rapid trigger pulls or cold-weather skirmishes.
Tactical Ergonomics & Operational Controls The ergonomic polymer lower frame is engineered for intuitive handling, featuring aggressive textured grip panels to guarantee non-slip retention in wet conditions or while wearing tactical gloves. An integrated 20mm lower Picatinny rail accommodates standard tactical flashlights or aiming lasers, enabling seamless weapon customization. Functional sidearm controls—including a responsive slide catch and dual-stage trigger safety mechanics—mirror authentic sidearm operation, ensuring smooth muscle memory during rapid target acquisition and magazine changes.
Precision Accuracy & Field Reliability Powered by standard green gas, the Huntsman H17 V2 produces a crisp, energetic blowback cycle with every shot. An internal adjustable hop-up assembly allows players to fine-tune BB backspin for optimal trajectory consistency across various BB weights. The slide locks back cleanly on an empty magazine, facilitating swift, muscle-memory reloads under match pressure.
Whether you are looking for an ultra-lightweight primary sidearm, a gas-efficient stealth backup gun, or an upgraded GBB platform for CQB clearing, the Huntsman H17 Black V2 Polymer GBB Pistol delivers outstanding cycle speed, ergonomic comfort, and field-proven reliability.

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.
