HOW TO GET YOUR UKARA NUMBER | THE AIRSOFT GUYS

This week we are covering how you can get your UKARA number which is a form of defence for buying an airsoft RIF in the UK.
This is 100% aimed at new players (IN THE UK) so don't watch if you already have one or know the process already (it will just be boring for you).

Everyone forgets to mention: the easiest way to remember is that yoy need at least 56 days or more between the first and third game, you can space it out with 3 months in between each game if you want to, just make sure that you have at least 56 days between first and third, and that it is within the 12 month bracket when going for the UKARA.

[@cjbuckley8894]

I am under 18 but I have someone over 18 who book my game days ,could they technically apply for the UKARA but I play the games ?? And use the Rif’s

[@mintblackbeard3715]

@@cjbuckley8894 Nope. It has to be the person playing. They have no legal defence unless they play also so can't register a defence with UKARA. Gonna have to wait until 18.

The music is too loud can’t hear your voice mate

[@joebloggs1155]

Hey nice to see u back. Ur videos are top quality! Nice product reviews and advice from this channel. Look forward to more!

[@jim.1991]

Great little video for all the new players, what other video ideas have you got in the pipe work? :)

[@TheAirsoftGuys]

That'd be telling ;) Hoping to kick off the balling on a budget series again though.

[@ianmcklatchie4390]

I am housebound, and have been for 26 years. I want to buy these guns - not the colour-coordinated, disco variety - so, is that it? Is it already over? Am I absolutely wasting my time thinking that I'll ever have the guns, because I'm housebound? It certainly looks that way!

[@TheEpicAB]

Can you do a video on starter AEGs for skirmishing? I'd really appreciate that.

[@TheAirsoftGuys]

We're looking in to this mate!

[@chloewright1]

@@gamerleo2173 so I take it that you're only planning on using two toned guns then? Because if you obtain a UKARA number any other way, you're basically committing fraud.

[@bwatts2779]

I've bought guns from some shops and the shop took details and said it was due to it being a replica and it was registered to me so I didn't misuse it in a public place....an I gd to go or do I still need to play airsoft ? To be fully legal ?

[@liamcross9274]

So if I’m correct you can play your first 2 games when ever but you first and last game has to be 56 games apart

[@stevieross1291]

Does the three games have to be at the same site?

[@wagnuts]

What if you played your two games, and your third was postponed because of the Covid19 pandemic. Is there a MAXIMUM time limit? Thank you.

[@thehighlandergeorge3310]

12 months I believe

[@harry-thebricksyndicate8373]

What counts as a game?

[@vory1770]

Signing up and playing the game

[@lukaszludwiczak6680]

Can teens get a defence so they can use a black airsoft gun in a match and so they can own one or do they have to use two tones until they are 18 bc I'm chilling at 13 and I never been to a game bc idk how the defence worked

[@Bored_Zomb]

You need to be 18 before buying realistic imitation firearms

[@TheBudgerigarClub]

I think two tone is cool tbh personality I rock a lime green gun and have no trouble

[@Cc-bh3ye]

guys, i would suggest buying one from a store, look online and see if they have stores near you and buy one from there.

[@SausageWardog]

Thing is I want take my own gun to airsoft games but I need play 3 games renting someone else's gun before I can do that orr have it painted blue I'm just goin bite the bb and get it two toned cuz I cba wait 2 months to get my ukara

[@lukewilliams6423]

Amazingly helpful thanks

[@fernandoferraz3527]

Im a bit upset that I have to wait 9 weeks to bring my RIFs from Portugal. I have been an airsoft player for 20 years now. I wish I could just pay for a license or something and get them in quick :X Im flying to Portugal soon and would love to bring them back... still almost 6 weeks untill I get my UKARA :X

[@rossyfries77]

Fernando Ferraz stfu

[@absolutelynoone3585]

Am I correct with my assumption that a justcos membership also works as a defense

[@EmpoweredMindsDaily]

So are you able to purchase a two toned rifle and just turn up at a site or does it need to be registered. Say if you bought it on eBay

[@TheAirsoftGuys]

Doesn't need to be registered, infact there is no where to do so. UKARA only applies from buying at a retailer.

[@lewis_rides]

What is a valid reason if you don’t have a ukara

[@JamWreck]

your auto scrip said call on isis haha. @1:19

[@ms2k7Gaming]

I dont even wanna play airsoft i just want them because they look cool so i need to play 3 games just to be able to buy realistic ones ?

[@VZ2501]

So one should get UKARA number before shipping his existing airsoft guns to UK?

[@malthus101]

How long does the registration last? Just 1 year? Also, once registered, can I have the guns shipped to an address different to my home address? Thanks.

[@TheAirsoftGuys]

1 year then you need your site to renew it. AFAIK you need it shipped to your UKARA address

[@sosig1341]

How do I prove to the site that I’ve played 3 games in 2 months?

[@jackdies3038]

Ok I am under 18 I am 13 and can I get a UKARA and get someone over 18 to purchase the gun for me then they put in my UKARA?

[@Jm7wtf]

So.. I want to buy a 100pound airsoft and I have to spend 45 pound each game times 3 and wait for 3 months then I can finally buy a 100pound guns. WTF it costs me more for a ukara than an airsoft 😢

[@scarface8168]

What can I buy if I'm 16 no ukara.I have an AK~CYMA And a Firehawk that's out of service both second hand.I'm looking to get something on patrol base

[@Kylesaystuff]

Wait until you’re 18

[@chroma6947]

How To Speed Run lol no to play with toys? Just tick the 18 box and spray paint it black when u get it and say ur someone gifted you it

[@waveyj9008]

Hi I’m under 18 so how could I get a gun I’ve played 3 games already would I have to buy a used one or something ?

[@edward.l.h7450]

your parents can sign it i'm pretty sure

[@Jest-ah]

what counts as a 'game' because when i went for a day there was loads of games and what actually counts as a game??

[@jamielow317]

A day of gaming would count as one game.

[@harleyrichmond2664]

If I turned up to a local air soft ground in the U.K. With a black gun and don't have a ukara license ,will I not be able to play?

[@user-ns3vs3bp3e]

Harley Richmond they aren’t going to check for playing with one, it’s you wouldn’t be able to buy a gun (unless it’s two tone) from any store without a ukara number you don’t need to prove you have a ukara simply to own a non two tone weapon (for example there is no law stopping people giving them as gifts or lending players who don’t have a ukara number non two tone guns)

[@TheAirsoftGuys]

UKARA only applies to the sale of Airsoft RIFs not to own

[@lajosbakk3317]

What if you just want a number, but dont want to play?

[@omarsayed4998]

Man how do I play at an air soft site if I don’t have a ukara license meaning I don’t have a bloody gun and I’m not that Rich to spend £150 for three rental games man what’s wrong with england

[@bryf2787]

Thanks for the vid mate

[@symtech6779]

This is dumb bc im under 18 and no one i know who is over 18 plays airsoft is there anyway for me to be able to own and use a real imitation firearm?

[@patadams4533]

Does booking private games at a site count

[@LoveLife-xy9ir]

If I was given a non two tone gun off a friend as a present and he got it as a present off one of his m8s and he bought it off someone who got it as a present from someone else??? Then thatd be fine right?

[@jamesgarrett4030]

Is air soft plastic bb's or metal ones ?.

[@ragnar3394]

Plastic bbs

[@dnt1.]

‘’Soft’’

[@FanPhys]

@@dnt1. the "soft" is in relation to the air, not the projectile. Soft air has low muzzle energy, and hard air has high muzzle energy. If you put a metal BB into an airsoft gun, it will produce (more or less) the same muzzle energy as a plastic BB.

[@msb1657]

when my ukara runs out do i have to renew it to keep my guns or do i get too keep it after it runs out

[@non-masturbatingtyrannosau3476]

You don't need it full stop

[@jackm9737]

Non-masturbating Tyrannosaurus Rex what do you mean you don’t need it

[@robjennings9143]

So it takes at least 4 months to get a license?

[@non-masturbatingtyrannosau3476]

Or you could not bother and still get RIF

[@michaelwilsonburns]

@@non-masturbatingtyrannosau3476 Please enlighten me

[@kolter9eist]

Will an 18+ be able to only go for the 3 games and then get a ukara and purchase me a gun? Thanks

[@tinyman2000]

ELA GRZMOT a ukara licence holder can purchase a RIF and gift it to a "civilian" legally in the UK s long as no money chages hands. (You can't buy the gun from them they gotta give you it pro bono a.k.a free of charge.)

[@hrntt2184]

Yeah. If someone has a defence they can buy it and gift it to you

[@teebowmusic]

I'm in France can I get it I think ?

[@hughm0n6u33]

So if I’m 17 can I get a ukara number and then ask my parents to buy the guns for me?

[@Bored_Zomb]

No

[@Alexander-vm2ox]

Why can’t they just let us have them 😫

[@streexxybze6041]

Becuse people used to rob things with them cuz they look soooo real

[@WardenOfTerra]

You're wrong about UKARA being the only way to get an airsoft gun. You just contact a vendor and give them your ID.

[@jordanjones6978]

But you don’t need valid defence to get realistic firearm

[@jamesteller7791]

?

[@marklayton5067]

Say if you buy a two tone gun then spray it camp or black is that ok. ?

[@LukesEpicJourneys]

got my UKARA License the other day.

[@imevansy2306]

how do u apply

[@Jamo2000]

Impossible a ukara license doesnt exist, you may have got a ukara registration number

[@jonathankoulai4349]

James Shore you have ukara?

[@Jamo2000]

Jonathan Koulai i dont have ukara but am a registered airsofter, i have a site membership as i dont buy guns online anyway and only need a defence for my local shop

[@Jamo2000]

Jonathan Koulai i realy have no need for it and dont see the point in paying a registration fee when i can get a free site membership which is a valid defence and allows me to purchase the same as ukara

[@collusionjazz5520]

I’m 14 and I am after a non two tone gun. I have played for about a year and is there anyway I can get a membership then my dad can buy the gun. Would that work?

[@kianrhys]

No due to your age you cannot apply for a UKARA however if you are able to drag your dad for a few games then get him to apply. Then yes you can it is some what as a loop hole he isn't allowed to buy guns for you however he is allowed to "gift" (although you can still give him the money) This is what I and a few others did.

[@JW-zx5dr]

You need to be 18 to get a UKARA licence

[@unkownstorm9949]

You fucking legend I have a two tone gun and can’t wait till the field near me opens so I can finally get that sweet non two tone gun also is there a thing for age or can you be any sge

[@unkownstorm9949]

Age*

[@5CU11Y]

@@unkownstorm9949 I think you have to be 18. Most sites allow 16+ so maybe that counts?

[@neonlightsrus6405]

Hi, could i get my dad to come with me to play at the site, then he can get a ukara and buy me airsoft guns?

[@TheAirsoftGuys]

I'm pretty sure he will be able to gift you an airsoft gun if he has his UKARA and is able to purchase them.

[@neonlightsrus6405]

The Airsoft Guys ok, thanks for this response :D

[@barrywatts2908]

Neon Lights r us . No you can't. If your dad gets one. That's for him only. You would have to play 3 game in no less than 2 months and get your own.

[@RevuitNet]

Barry Watts that’s rubbish mate, gifting is allowed as long as no money has exchanged hands.

[@trashboat2165]

so if my gun's two toned then i dont need a ukara license?

Nirond or you can get a two tone and paint it 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@marklayton5067]

But the guns you rent aren't two tone.

[@ozzuk616]

They were purchased and owned by the site which would be considered a defence plus they have insurance etc

[@alexpayne2662]

Why do they all say over 18? You dont to own one. It's legally a toy. Also this defence is bs because no one wants to wait two months for a semi realistic gun, which is a toy

arno celio it’s not legally a toy, it’s classed as an RIF (Realistic Imitation Firearm)
