About

What is Airsoft?
Airsoft is the name giving to a type of simulated combat sport similar to paintball. Using replica guns that fire plastic pellets, players on opposing sides battle it out in action based games at registered airsoft skirmish sites generally located out in the countryside or in old buildings that have been specifically adapted and insured for the purpose.

If you are interested in finding out more about Airsoft then we have put together a What Is Airsoft? blog post which goes into all of the details.

Is the website secure for my credit card?

Transactions on the site are protected with up to 256-bit Secure Sockets Layer encryption.

Can I legally buy an airsoft gun from Defcon Airsoft?

For guns which are already legal to buy (over 18), please check out the BB Guns section of the site.

You can only purchase a RIF (Realistic Imitation Firearm) if you can prove you are an active airsoft skirmisher at a registered airsoft skirmish site OR have a valid defence for purchasing a RIF under Section 37 of the VCRA – these include the use of realistic imitations for film, television and historical re-enactment.

Proof that you are an active airsoft player can be achieved in one of 3 ways which will need to be supplied to us on our ‘Order Page’ when purchasing guns:

1. Provide us with your UKARA number
2. Provide us with your British Airsoft Club (BAC) number
3. Provide us with proof of your valid skirmish site membership – this can be a scan of your membership card which can be uploaded to us on the order page. Please note we will check this with the site so verification may take slightly longer than methods 1 or 2. A list of valid skirmish sites we can accept proof of membership from can be found here: http://www.ukara.org.uk/approved-gamesites.php

Most Airsoft Guns we sell can be two toned to allow for legal purchase by non-defence holders – Please see our ‘Two-Toning’ service HERE
