Public Guidance: Firearms & Airsoft<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Airsoft skirmishing or airsoft is a popular hobby where groups of people play a game of fitness, skill and tactics against each other using replica firearms which fire small pellets at high speed. Airsoft groups often use realistic playing areas, missions and clothing to simulate the feeling of being on a real battlefield. Airsoft is a fun hobby that can be run safely, involves no more risk than other recreational activities and which promotes fitness, teamwork and a sense of community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purpose of this guidance is to help people to understand the law which affects airsoft and which regulates the use of firearms and airguns so that people taking part in airsoft  activities can do so in a lawful and safe manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
