If I want an airsoft gun, over 51% of that gun has to be sprayed a "non-realistic" colour (bright orange or blue). I managed to build a small collection before the law passed, but now I'm well and truly scuppered.

I assume that you wear full face masks and stuff? I bet you've gotten some very nice welts from those little pellets. |

Most airsoft guns shoot at just over 300FPS out of the box.
We wear Anzi rated low profile shooting glasses not full face protection, some guys wear mouthguards to protect their teeth. I started a club a couple of years ago called the World War II Western Front Airsoft Association. It is airsoft skirmishing while dressed as both allied and axis troops. We hold about 4 events per year which regularly field 45-60 players.

Too late, I'm afraid. In 2007 the UK introduced a law which stated that unless I join and am regularly active in a club (of which there are none anywhere even remotely local, and I'm disabled anyway), I cannot buy a "realistic imitation firearm" under any circumstances.
If I want an airsoft gun, over 51% of that gun has to be sprayed a "non-realistic" colour (bright orange or blue). I managed to build a small collection before the law passed, but now I'm well and truly scuppered. Quote:

The UK laws are crazy - I've just discovered that I can quite freely buy an air pistol that shoots a solid lead pellet that can do serious damage (and looks just like a 'real' gun - I already have a Walther P99) with impunity, but I can't buy airsoft...
I can also legally buy a crossbow... I'm vexed!
