Quick answer
Airsoft Catalog lists 6,183 guns — compare specs and UK retailers before you order. At checkout, UK retailers will:
- Check you're over 18.
- Ask for UKARA registration if you're buying a full-colour (realistic-looking) replica. Two-tone versions — mostly brightly coloured — are sold without it, which is how most new players buy their first gun.
Not sure which you need? Ask the retailer before ordering.

FAQ
What do UK retailers check when I buy an airsoft gun?
Proof that you're over 18, and — for a full-colour (realistic-looking) replica — usually your UKARA registration. Two-tone versions are sold without UKARA.
How do I get UKARA?
Play regularly at a UKARA-registered field. The field registers you once you've played enough games there — ask staff on your first visit. Find one in the sites directory.
What should a first-time buyer get?
A budget AEG rifle (an AK-platform like the Cyma CM.028 at RRP £120 is the classic start), a spare battery, 0.25g BBs and rated eye protection. See airsoft starter kits UK.
