Want to buy a realistic-looking black airsoft gun (RIF) from onlyBBguns? Because these guns look so real, UK law (the VCRA Act) requires you to have a valid reason, called a "defence," to own one. Essentially, you need to prove you're buying it for airsoft skirmishing (the sport itself), not for any other purpose.
Here's how you can demonstrate your defence to onlyBBguns and buy a black airsoft gun:
Don't have either of those? No problem! You can still buy the airsoft gun. onlyBBguns can paint it in a two-tone colour scheme. This means part of the gun will be sprayed a bright, non-realistic colour. This makes the gun a "non-realistic imitation firearm" and avoids the restrictions of the VCRA Act. Anyone over 18 can legally buy a two-tone airsoft gun.

The Thompson M1928 is an enduring symbol of American ingenuity, known famously as the "Tommy Gun" or "Chicago Typewriter" due to its association with early 20th-century history. The infamous Thompson Model 1928 aka the "Tommy Gun" or "Chicago Typewriter" was favoured by every mobster and gangster in the early 1900s for its firepower and portability. Even the infamous John Dillinger, Public Enemy Number One, favoured the Thompson submachine gun. Johnny Depp, who plays Dillinger in the Hollywood movie "Public Enemies" wields the Tommy gun in several intense fight scenes. This replica is true to the original and comes complete with foregrip, finned barrel and signature Cutts Compensator.
The authenticity of the Cyma Thompson Chicago Typewriter AEG is immediately established by its heavy construction. The rifle features an extensive Full Metal build across the receiver, long barrel with cooling fins, and barrel assembly.
This superior construction ensures exceptional durability and delivers a substantial, highly realistic weight of approximately 4.5 kg, essential for the immersive experience.
The aesthetic is completed by the classic, high-quality Faux Wood/Polymer Stock and Vertical Foregrip. The Vertical Foregrip is not just for looks; it provides critical stability and control, significantly improving handling during sustained Full-Automatic fire. Crucially, this package includes the iconic, large-capacity Electric Drum Magazine, cementing the rifle’s "Chicago Typewriter" profile.
Internally, the Cyma Thompson Chicago Typewriter AEG utilizes the robust and dedicated Version 6 (V6) Gearbox. This is a highly specialized gearbox shell necessary to fit the unique geometry of the Thompson receiver, and it is known for reliable performance and cycling.
The V6 system is built to handle the forces required for consistent Semi-Automatic and Full-Automatic fire, delivering a skirmish-ready muzzle velocity typically ranging from 350–380 FPS.
The true power of this rifle is unlocked by the included Electric Drum Magazine (1000+ rounds). This massive capacity ensures that the rifle can lay down continuous, sustained suppressive fire without the need for frequent reloads, fulfilling the machine gun role effectively. The robust V6 gearbox maintains the high rate of fire required for this level of suppression.
The Cyma Thompson Chicago Typewriter AEG is mandatory for players committed to WWII US military (early war) or historical themed reenactments.
The inclusion of the Electric Drum Magazine adds immense value, eliminating the need for a costly separate purchase and immediately granting the user maximum firepower. The rifle also accepts standard stick magazines, offering visual versatility for later-war impressions.
The combination of historical fidelity, robust Full Metal construction, the dependable V6 gearbox, and the essential drum magazine makes the Cyma Thompson Chicago Typewriter AEG the definitive, high-value choice for a rugged, authentic, and highly functional primary weapon.
