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.

When regular out-of-the-box sidearms just won't cut it, it's time to upgrade to something with a true custom edge. The Huntsman Tactical H17 TT Custom Gas Blowback Pistol is a beautiful blend of rugged reliability and high-end operator modification. Designed for experienced skirmishers, competitive target shooters, and airsoft enthusiasts across the UK, this tactical black pistol delivers a premium, bespoke feel that looks like it came straight from a real-steel armorers workbench.
Crisp Metal Slide & Hard-Kicking Realism The backbone of the H17's realistic action is its heavy-duty aluminum alloy metal slide. Optimized for maximum gas efficiency, the slide cycles flawlessly with a snappy, hard-kicking recoil impulse that will put a smile on your face with every trigger pull. Front and rear slide serrations have been precision-cut into the metal, giving you maximum traction to easily rack the gun, check your chamber, or clear a stoppage—even when wearing heavy tactical gloves.
Bespoke Hand-Stippled Frame What truly elevates the H17 TT Custom above standard factory pistols is its meticulously modified lower frame. The grip has been individually hand-stippled to create a distinct, aggressive texture. This isn't just for looks; the stippled surface texturing significantly increases friction, ensuring the pistol remains securely locked into your palm during rapid-fire strings, high-intensity movement, or wet weather conditions.
Engineered for Top-Tier Performance Beneath its custom exterior, the H17 is a thoroughbred skirmish weapon. It features a fully adjustable hop-up system that allows you to dial in your BB trajectory for pinpoint accuracy over long distances. An integrated lower Picatinny rail sits under the barrel, giving you the perfect mounting platform for tactical flashlights or lasers to dominate close-quarters environments. The green gas magazine feeds beautifully, locking the slide back cleanly on the last round to let you know it's time for a lightning-fast reload.
Whether you're clearing rooms at your local indoor CQB site or running tactical target trials in the garden, the Huntsman Tactical H17 TT Custom delivers the premium handling, raw durability, and custom aesthetic you need to stand out.
