UK Legal & Site Notes

This gas blowback pistol is legal to own and skirmish with in the UK, provided you remain an insured member of a recognised airsoft site. Most skirmish venues permit gas pistols during regular play and accept them as secondary weapons in military simulation events. Always comply with site rules regarding magazine capacity and chronograph limits—many UK sites cap pistol FPS to 350fps, so the EC17’s 300fps output sits comfortably within limits.
