APS Striker-12 "Street Sweeper" CO2 Powered Airsoft Shotgun (MK2 - Inc. 12 Shells)

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:

  1. Show proof of skirmishing: Gather evidence like photos and videos from airsoft games you've participated in. These should clearly show you actively involved in skirmishing, demonstrating your intent to use the gun for the sport.
  2. Become a registered skirmisher: The easiest way to prove your defence is by joining a recognized airsoft association and getting a membership card. The most common one in the UK is UKARA. This registration confirms you're a legitimate airsoft player.

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 APS Striker-12, popularly nicknamed the "Street Sweeper," is one of the most recognizable and intimidating shotguns ever conceived. This airsoft replica, built by APS, captures the original's unique rotating cylinder design and translates its psychological impact directly onto the airsoft field. It’s a game-changer for players who want to command attention and deliver overwhelming firepower in CQB environments.

The Advantage of the MK2 Gas System

Unlike other shell-fed shotguns, the Striker-12 MK2 streamlines the gas process for faster action:

  • Integrated Gas Reservoir: The MK2 system is charged with Green Gas or CO2 directly into the gun itself (via a charge port, typically in the pistol grip). This means you do not need to individually charge every shell with gas, significantly speeding up your shell loading and prep time.

  • Massive Firepower: The shotgun utilizes a true 12-shell revolving drum magazine, giving you substantially higher sustained shot count before a full reload is required. Each shell can be loaded with multiple BBs, typically 3-7 rounds, releasing a terrifying spread with every trigger pull.

  • Shell Retention: The drum retains the spent shells after firing, eliminating the need to chase down ejected casings mid-game—a huge practical benefit over traditional shell-ejecting models.

Legendary Design, Rugged Construction

The construction of the Striker-12 MK2 matches its aggressive appearance:

  • Premium Materials: The receiver is crafted from high-strength polymer, keeping the weight manageable for field use (approx. 2.5kg), while the barrel, cylinder, and folding stock utilize durable stamped steel and metal alloy.

  • Folding Stock Versatility: The steel folding stock allows the weapon to transition from a full-length stabilizer to a highly compact package, perfect for vehicle operations, tight room corners, or secondary use.

  • Complete Package: This bundle includes the rifle and a generous 12 dedicated shells, ensuring you have enough ammunition capacity to cycle through two full loads of the cylinder right out of the box.

Drum Magazine

Equipped with a 12-shell drum magazine, this shotgun offers unparalleled firepower, letting you dominate the battlefield with ease. Each shell holds up to 7 rounds, ensuring you're always ready for the next engagement. The high-tension spring-loaded rotary magazine ensures flawless cycling, while the built-in shell ejector adds to the realism of every shot.

Two tone
We can two tone any weapon we sell at Bespoke Airsoft. The purpose for two toning is if you do not hold a valid defense under the Violent Crimes Reduction Act (VCRA, 2006) which is to prevent the misuse of Replica Weapons, which applies in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

The gun will be sprayed 51% in a bright/primary color (we do only blue, green and red currently). The process of two toning currently runs at 2 working days depending on Drying Time, which is effected by Ambient Temperature and Weather. and currently no express delivery is available for this even if you select it at checkout.

FAQs

1.     What is a BB gun used for?  BB guns are mostly used for practice shooting and training. The stronger ones (i.e. Air Rifles) can also control pests or hunt small animals.

2.     Do you need a Licence in the UK for a BB gun? No, you don't need a licence for a BB gun in the UK, but there are rules. The BB Gun needs to be in two colours; one has to be a primary. All our guns are on the website as per default.

3.     Is a BB gun a good weapon?   BB guns, despite sometimes being seen as toys, can be dangerous. They fire pellets at high speeds and can cause serious harm, or even be deadly in some situations.

4.     Can you shoot BB guns in public in the UK without a Firearm license? BB guns in the UK navigate a legal grey area. While certain models, notably low-power 'soft air' types, typically evade classification as section 1 firearms, more potent versions may require a valid firearms certificate to avoid legal repercussions.

5.     Can you shoot a BB gun in your garden? You can use a BB gun in your garden under UK law, but you have to ensure the pellets don't go into your neighbour's yard, plot or land. If they do and you don't have permission, it's against the law.

6.     Which UK law am I breaking if the pellets go into my neighbour's law without permission?  If your BB gun pellets go into your neighbour's yard without permission, you're breaking UK laws. Specifically, the 1968 Firearms Act and possibly the 2003 Anti-Social Behaviour Act, because you may be causing your neighbours trouble or worry.
