The change in laws

'As you will no doubt be aware on the 1st October 2007 the Violent Crimes Reduction Act begins, this will have quite an effect on airsoft skirmishing, probably to the benefit of genuine and responsible players. One element of the new setup is the need for every player to have a registration card and for genuine playing sites to be registered, this will enable the registered sites to confirm that a specific player actually played there, the records will be available to various government agencies and the police. This record will enable the cardholder to use and purchase airsoft imitation weapons and is perhaps a huge step forward for those player/collectors as it will demonstrate how responsible airsoft weapon owners are whilst excluding those who may wish to acquire replica weapons for other purposes.

We expect to become a registered site operator in early October 2007, this will apply to our Warminster and Swindon sites.

Saftey

There has been much variation in the muzzle velocity limits set by playing sites, the legal situation is that for a 0.20gm 6mm pellet fired from a weapon at the legal limit of 1.00 joule the maximum velocity is 328 feet per second with a permitted deviation of +/- 10%. All airsoft activity on our sites will operate at a maximum of 330 fps, anyone who feels unable to accept this restriction or feels it necessary to adjust their muzzle velocity during a session to exceed this limit will be barred from our sites, it should be borne in mind that as a registered and responsible site operator we will inform the relevant authorities and in all probability the player will be barred from all airsoft activity in the UK.The vast majority of airsoft players feel a lot safer and get more enjoyment from sites where this limit is imposed, sites that advertise a higher limit, irrespective of the weapon type, will be breaking the law.
