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:

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.
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.

Realism: Licensed Glock 17 Gen5 by VFC

This airsoft replica is officially licensed by Glock, manufactured by the highly respected Vega Force Company (VFC), ensuring an accuracy of detail. For players who demand authenticity in handling, weight, and markings, this pistol is the definitive choice.

Unmatched External and Internal Features

VFC has meticulously replicated the features that made the real Gen5 Glock a modern icon:

Authentic Markings: From the slide to the magazine, every detail is true to the source, making this an ideal piece. Its dimensions are so accurate they fit genuine Glock holsters.
Gen5 Ergonomics: The frame features the smooth, grooveless grip design, an ambidextrous slide release, and the signature flared magwell lip, all contributing to faster reloads and superior handling comfort across different hand sizes.
Recoil Impulse: VFC’s gas system is famous for producing a crisp, powerful, and snappy recoil that closely mimics live fire, enhancing the immersion of every semi-automatic shot.

Performance Tuning Made Simple

This Gen5 iteration improves on previous models by focusing on operator ease of use without sacrificing the metal slide performance:

Front-Adjustable Hop-Up: A significant upgrade, the hop-up mechanism is accessible from the front of the slide via a simple hex key adjustment. This means you can tune your pistol for different BB weights without the hassle of disassembling the slide first.
Reliable Green Gas Operation: Powered by Green Gas (recommended for best performance), the pistol offers excellent gas efficiency and consistent velocity, ensuring your sidearm remains reliable throughout an extended engagement.

Faulty Product?! Unfortunately that is part of life but be rest assured we are here to help! Contact one of our friendly staff via phone or email. Stating what the problem is, if we can resolve the problem via phone or email great if not then they will advise how to send it back and what details we require.

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.
