Airsoft Guns To Be Totally Banned Across UK And Europe
Written by marc on March 31st, 2008
I write this post with great sadness. It is a very bad day for airsoft. Today a Bill was passed by the EU that after the “unacceptable deaths among young people caused by, or in part due to airsoft guns”. All airsoft guns in Europe (UK included) are not allowed to be used any more unless given special permission.
Basically it means that even if you own the land yourself or have permission from the land owner you still can’t fire an airsoft gun there. You have to get a special letter from the government to allow you.
This is effectively crushed the sport, which we all enjoy so much. Thankfully I never splashed out and bought the Tokyo Marui m14 that I always wanted, so it is just my £100 CYMA mp5 j that has gone to waste.
Help spread the word on the airsoft forums so people don’t get caught out by the new laws.
