The laws described in this document relate to the United Kingdom.
Gun laws do differ from country to country.
If you are in doubt about gun laws in your area, please contact your local skirmish club or police force, which will be happy able to help you further. This section aims to provide answers to many questions, which circulate in the public domain. It has been brought to you by Airsoft.org with assistance from the Home Office. By publishing this information, we hope to increase the understanding of members of the public about Airsoft guns, and therefore reduce the number of incidents, which may adversely affect the public image of what is a legal and enjoyable sport - much like Paintballing. While outwardly appearing to resemble 'real world' firearms, Airsoft guns are NOT firearms.
