Regulations
- BBguns
The power output of Airsoft or BBguns is below the
level at which air gun regulations become applicable and
they are classified as `Detailed Scale Models for Adult
Collectors’. No licence is necessary and BB guns
may be purchased by person’s aged 14 and over. However
Antics, and www.bbguns.co.uk, imposes a voluntary minimum
age limit of 17 on purchases of all but low powered models
below £25.00.
At
present, bbguns would be considered a `firearm' or `offensive
weapon' if used to commit a crime or to threaten
a person, and it is now proposed to ban them from being
carried in a public place without good reason. This would
not prevent models being transported in a secure way with
good reason – which could include transporting it
to a friend.
But an air soft, or bbgun, should never be used in a public
place in such a way that it could be mistaken for a real
weapon. Waving one around in public is an absolute no,
no!
