Description
Realistic Imitation Firearms in the UK are covered by the Violent Crime Reduction Act (VCRA, 2006), which prevents the misuse of Replicas and applies in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The Violent Crimes Reduction Act specifically states that to buy a Replica Imitation Firearm, the Recipient must be over 18, and have a valid Reason / Defence for doing so, unless the Replica is over 51% a bright non-military colour such as Blue, Red, or Green.
There are currently no restrictions on owning a Realistic Imitation Firearm / Airsoft Replica; the restrictions are on the Point of Purchase.
This means to qualify to buy an Airsoft Replica you must be:
- Must be Aged Over 18
- Have a Valid Defence OR Buy the replica in Two-Tone Colours
For proof of defence, we require a paper trail to prove your defence is valid, which we store against your order.
