Do NOT use your airsoft guns in the following places: Airsoft is an unrecognized sport in India. Officially, the mention of this sport does not exist in Indian sports guidelines, laws or documents. Therefore, it does not fall into any category of sports or leisure activities. Law No. 295[45] (Regimul Armelor şi Muniţiilor) regulates the use of firearms and related ammunition. It is not clear (for airsoft firearms) whether this type of firearm is classified as a “non-lethal weapon” or a “toy”. The law regulates the use of airborne firearms (for example, for sports or competitive purposes when a metal bullet is used) in the “non-lethal” category and only requires that one be at least 18 years of age to purchase and register the firearm at the nearest police station. Any air/gas gun that only fires plastic bullets and does not exceed the speed of 200m/s (e.g. airsoft weapons) can be purchased by anyone aged 18+ without having to register. Is it legal for me to design/manufacture such an airsoft weapon? Airsoft guns look like real guns and are very valuable, these should NOT be left unattended in public.

If you go to an airsoft game for a day, remember: there is no clear law on how to carry airsoft replicas, but it is generally accepted among players to carry replicas as if they were real firearms to avoid any chance of getting into trouble with the authorities. This means that replicas must be covered during transport in the public space, for example in a fire bag. Even when transporting/transporting airsoft replicas, a plausible explanation must be given at the request of law enforcement authorities. It is no longer necessary to have a B-target shooter license to purchase, use and own airsoft or paintball equipment. However, you can make your own 100% airsoft gun without any problems if it is for personal use. I know tons of people who have made airsoft guns from nerve guns and all sorts of crazy things. Discover the airsoft group of heretics. It`s hilarious. May inspire you!!! In New Jersey, airsoft guns do not currently fall under the state`s definition of firearms. Instead, like other “toy” weapons, they are regulated as “imitation weapons,” but how they are regulated may vary from city to city. It appears that their role in state law stems from the fact that airsoft guns generally do not carry enough force combined with the projectile materials to cause a safe level of damage similar to that of real steel pistols or their more conventional cousins, the air rifle or BB gun.

Airsoft guns typically deliver projectiles at a slower speed than air guns and polymer BBs, which are generally unable to pierce clothing, flesh or bones in the same way as BBs or metal pellets or real steel ammunition. Airsoft guns in Hong Kong don`t need to have an orange tip. However, public possession or display of airsoft weapons is not recommended by the Hong Kong Police Department, as it is difficult to determine whether it is a genuine firearm or not. It is also not necessary to obtain a license to sell an airsoft weapon in Hong Kong. I decided not to do it because I wanted to sell them and not just make a one-off piece. And to do that, it takes all sorts of hoop jumping. I doubt you`d ever get in trouble if you really only used it for airsoft. This shouldn`t be a reason you`d have police interaction – it`s not like they`re randomly coming and checking airsoft games to make sure everyone is using mass-produced from Taiwan. Players must meet the requirements of their town halls, which vary from city to city. However, some cities require players to provide a clear criminal record, pass a psychological exam (common for firearms), have the guns serialized by a certified gun dealer, and have them inspected to verify that serial numbers match those declared. It is legal to buy, possess and sell airsoft replicas and accessories. I have read, understood, and will comply with all of the above points regarding airsoft gun laws.

Airsoft is basically an underground sport in Greece because the law is a bit foggy. According to the law, airsoft guns fall into the same general category as air rifles, which are not real firearms and can be purchased for free in specialized stores. However, the purchase and use of airsoft weapons is not allowed for persons under the age of 18. As mentioned earlier, some cities in New Jersey have their own laws regarding imitation firearms. However, the majority follow federal and state guidelines regarding these weapons. Atlantic City, in particular, has banned the sale and possession of “realistic-looking toy guns” in the city unless they are colored enough to immediately identify them as toys. Clear imitations of firearms are also allowed. An exception applies to this prohibition if the counterfeit firearms are antiques or film props. [88] Therefore, information about airsoft and other laws on man-made firearms in local areas should be obtained from the police department of the relevant city. For current state laws, it is best to contact the New Jersey State Police Firearms Investigation Unit or the Attorney General`s Office. In Letter of Instruction 1264, a presidential directive signed in 1982 by former President Ferdinand Marcos prohibits the import, sale, and public display of replica weapons. [35] The Philippine National Police was given the authority to classify what constitutes a replica firearm, and airsoft weapons were considered different from replicas, so the general legal interpretation is that it may not be necessary to repeal RA 1264 to achieve full legalization of airsoft in the Philippines.

[35] Republic Act No. 10591 declassified airsoft guns as real firearms. [36] A ban places airsoft weapons on the list of prohibited firearms. It stipulates that no one may carry firearms in public, with the exception of security guards, police officers and military personnel on duty. Sports mouthguards that sit in the mouth are not effective protection, many airsoft fields with mandatory mouthguards reject them. Use an airsoft mouthguard approved by your area of expertise, ask more from your field. According to the Weapons and Ammunition Act, airsoft weapons fall into category D in the weapon classification, which means that anyone over the age of 16 can legally acquire an airsoft weapon. No license is required.

There are no special regulations regarding the form, function or other characteristics of an airsoft weapon. [46] You should be concerned about your safety and the people around you. Make sure you and any passers-by or players wear appropriate safety equipment. If you`re using an airsoft gun (or one nearby), it doesn`t matter if you`re in a game or not. You must wear protection! Also note that some safety standards may differ from others, ask your field before playing. Which also led me to wonder if you can own an airsoft gun without a license or be in a club (since both must be filled for the purchase of an airsoft gun). I had the same idea. The police are also not helpful. I think given the complexity and stupidity of our gun laws, it would be very difficult to lay charges if you somehow landed on their radar. Airsoft guns under 0.5 joules are considered toy guns and can be used by anyone over the age of 14. Some stores still require a legal guardian to be present and give permission when you buy a <0.5 joule airsoft gun, but most stores sell these toy guns to people over the age of 14.

In addition, they should not be worn in public, as they can be authentic weapons. If the muzzle energy is between 0.5 and 7.5 joules, airsoft guns are no longer considered toy guns. In this case, they are treated as air guns, the minimum age to buy and/or use an airsoft gun is 18 years.
