UK Legal & Site Notes

This is a replica firearm (RIF) and is legal to own and use in the UK only under a valid UKARA registration or equivalent VCRA defence (such as airsoft club membership or active skirmish participation). The two-colour option may be available elsewhere; check your local site rules regarding finish and markings. Always chronograph your sidearm at your chosen site before play, as many UK venues set specific FPS limits for revolvers (typically 300–350 FPS on 0.20 g). Gas performance varies with temperature, so winter skirmishes may require warmer gas or pre-game velocity checks.
