Airsoft Across the Pond: UK Insights and Regulations

[@mudmover3942]

There are i think valid reasons for an MED for weapons of say 2.23joules in the UK. If MEDs were scrapped for example then eyewear of BS EN166F may not provide adequate protection. An MED is a form of control measure in relevant circumstances. Just a thought.

[@defroweairsoft]

Yeah med over 2J is fine. But MED with 1J is dumb.

[@mr_sheen_asg]

Yes definitely agree, the only MED I encountered was for DMR and Bolt action due to higher energy.

[@mudmover3942]

The only MEDs I have seen in the UK has been for DMRs and Snjpers. Running in excess of 1.5Joules. Most sites have no MED for standard Airsoft platforms. 1.14Joules is the most common. No MEDs usually.

[@mudmover3942]

I agree though, an MED for 1Joule is a tad nonsensical.

[@defroweairsoft]

Do it. There are lots of fields around and the community is very welcoming.

[@TacticalAshiGaramiTV]

[@defroweairsoft]

[@mr_sheen_asg]

CQB in uk is so intense sometimes savage, definitely not the best for new players 😂

[@defroweairsoft]

Yeah, that's what it sounds like. Tokyo is the opposite

[@mr_sheen_asg]

In one place I play you get removed from the game for taking your eye pro off in a game zone

[@defroweairsoft]

Yeah, that should be a rule everywhere

Real steel grip? I have a 3d printed one for about 50p 😂

[@defroweairsoft]

Yeah, but do you have the bragging rights?

[@mr_sheen_asg]

@@defroweairsoft sure, I get people asking me where I got it from and I can brag about 3D printing 😂

[@sokolov26]

you need to stop interviewing people who have no clue about the hobby

[@defroweairsoft]

I try it keep the interviews open to everyone. Everyone brings a different perspective.

[@sauceNkicks]

I can go buy 4 or 5 differnt glocks in 4.5mm or pellet and only get asked to prove my age. The rules are joke. Dont make any sense at all

[@defroweairsoft]

[@sauceNkicks]
