VFC PPSH-41 Gas Blowback Rifle
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.

The Papasha Perfected: VFC PPSH-41 GBBR – Steel, Wood, and Gas Power
Combining VFC’s legendary commitment to detail with cutting-edge GBBR technology, this airsoft weapon is an essential acquisition for WWII reenactors, serious collectors, and players seeking a unique, high-performance SMG.
Unmatched Authenticity in Steel and Wood
This is where VFC sets the industry standard. The exterior features a full-steel stamped receiver and a genuine Real Wood Stock, giving the replica the rugged weight (approx. 4.2kg) and handling characteristics of the original.
From the simulated steel riveting to the surface treatment, every detail has been meticulously replicated. The inclusion of a full-steel fire control system ensures that the internal mechanics match the external toughness, providing a lifespan that far exceeds standard replicas.
Innovative GBB Drum Magazine System
VFC engineered a revolutionary approach to GBB power for this model. The large-capacity drum magazine houses a separate, massive 248cc gas tank, feeding a 120-round BB tray. This system ensures powerful, consistent output—delivering approximately 240 shots per gas fill—while allowing for realistic magazine swaps by simply swapping the entire drum unit. The CNC-machined aluminium bolt ensures a fast, crisp cycle, achieving a rapid rate of fire that captures the true "Burp Gun" feel.
Modern Performance on a Classic Platform
While deeply rooted in history, the VFC PPSH-41 boasts modern performance upgrades. It features an Adjustable TDC (Top Down Center) HOP-UP system, cleverly placed on the body and adjustable with a 2mm hex key, allowing you to dial in trajectory without dismantling the bolt.
Firing modes include Semi-Auto, Full-Auto, and a manual bolt-lock safety function. For players valuing realism, the GBB system offers powerful, distinctive recoil, making this a truly immersive addition to any MilSim collection

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.
