Legal Info Q.
What are the laws concerning airsoft?
A. It is a 1:1 scale model of a real gun.
A. There are three main types of Airsoft Guns.
Pull on the slide of a pistol and you cock the spring. Pull the
trigger
and away you go. These are usually inexpensive and a first buy.
They are
often called springers. Shotguns can be spring powered as well.
Gas Operated
The most common is the GBB (Gas Blow Back) pistol. Charge the
reservoir
in the magazine, pull the trigger and the slide cycles while the
BB is shot
from the barrel. You have fixed slide guns (Non Blow Backs) ,
where the
slide doesn’t move. You also have shotguns that operate on gas.
Electric Operated
This is the most common type of gun and most often used. A battery powers a motor that turns gears which moves a
piston. Speeds
are averaged around 280 fps, (feet per second), but most guns are somewhere around 350 fps. About the same as a paintball gun. The
automatic electric
guns (AEGs) are almost always semi and fully automatic.
A. We believe 375 FPS is very safe, but let's face it, eye protection
is the
most important safety equipment you can use. Sniper guns can be faster
than
350 FPS, but should only be used at distances of GREATER than 50
yards. BE SURE TO WEAR EYE PROTECTION!
A. Want to make your gun last longer? BURST YOUR FIRE. Don't just
spray and
pray. Also, a little spray of pure silicon goes a long way. Swab your
barrel.
When it comes to maintaining your gear box, you can do yearly
re-lubrication.
A. We don’t know. We’re not lawyers. But we know if you use them
to commit a crime, you’ll be in huge trouble and may get yourself
killed.
At the very least, if someone thinks you are using a real gun, you'll
get a
"real" long sentence, just as if you used a real gun. This goes for
even putting
your finger in your jacket to simulate a gun. Leave the orange tip on.
Keep
it in a gun bag and use it only in supervised games and you’ll be
doing
well. Do some research with local law enforcement and be responsible.
We can’t
know all the issues, but we strongly encourage you to keep a
respectful and
friendly relationship with the local law enforcement agencies.
