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 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.
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.
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.
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.
