Airsoft And The VCR Bill

From the 1st of October 2007, the laws regarding airsoft guns (in the UK only) have changed. This is a brief summary of those changes, more information can be found here: WWW.UKARA.ORG.UK
If you are under 18 years of age, it is now illegal for you to buy an airsoft gun or any other replica firearm. It will also be illegal for anyone to sell one to you, whether you are a skirmisher or not.
Over 18s will have to prove that they are airsoft skirmishers. They can do this by taking out membership of an airsoft site which holds third-party liability insurance. In order to enable online sales, UKARA the retailers organisation, has set up a database to which sites can submit their members details.
Once a player is verified & on the database, any UKARA member can quickly check that a purchaser is a member entitled to buy an airsoft gun.
Airsoft skirmishers' are only one of the groups awarded an official exemption within the VCR Bill.
Military reinactment group members, film/TV production, theatres and museums complete the list of exempt bodies. The VCRA applies to sales within the U.K. only, overseas sales are not affected.

Creative Juices.......Or Is It Gun Oil? Part II - HK G36KE


As promised, here is my creation for a suitable H&K G36 battle rifle. (The picture to the left is a stock photo, not the finished product of this blog).I am a big fan of all things H&K and make no secret of this. However it certainly says a lot when the Real Steel version can be covered in sand, water, and have all manner of things done to it, and still fire 25000 rounds without stoppage.

With this version I was more interested in its use as a primary role. It is for this reason that I added a full stock to it. This allows for better balance of the weapon, as well as more option over battery sizes.

Once again I have tried to keep the modular aspect of the rifle clean. M16 magazines are carried by pretty much everyone. If you play alone, or in a team of various rifles you will never be far away from an M4 or M16 variant.

Here's the list (parts available from http://www.wolfarmouries.co.uk/):

Tokyo Marui HK G36C
328 Upgrade (ask for upgrade inc bat and stock)
G&P G36 Kit
PDI 6.01 500mm Inner
Star G36 4x scope
Private Prts Magwell Conv Kit
G&P G36 Ex Stock
G&P 9.6v 3300mah
Tokyo Marui 68rnd Magazine

The fun doesn't end there folks. Tomorrow we get off 'run of the mill' weapons and start to focus on my passion. Marksman rifles.
