quik question?

daz801

just a question hear. say you got a licence for a bolt action rifle over the 1j limit, would you be aloud use it at a site if you stayed far away from targets and not use it up close?
just wandering because a bolt action rifle at the moment is not realy that useful

tonyj_mc

really doubt it anything over 1 joule in eyes of the law is a firearm, try asking a site owner to possibly loose their insurance by having somone firing what amounts to a firearm at a person not gonna happen

No, because it would have to have a permanent serial number on it somewhere before you could get a licence. being airsoft, pretty much any part of the gun is interchangeable with minimal effort so makes serial numbers pointless.

the exception to this rule is paint ball, where you need Garda authorisation to buy one,

You realise what you're asking is if a site owner would allow you to fire a registered firearm at one or more skirmishers on their land?
When it's broken down like that, do you see how laughably unlikely that is?

Bolt action rifles, in this country, are for wannabe snipers who invariably give up after a few weeks and flog their rifle to a friend or up here on Adverts. The few that stick around long enough to learn the art of stealth and the field craft needed for sniping properly know that you don't always need a half mile range to reach out and cause havoc.

I think I saw this film before.They stranded a bunch of kids on an island and gave them guns and other goodies.I think it worked out alright for all concerned.Can't see that happening at a site ... well at least here I can't speak for Mexico

* There will be no discussion of airsoft greater than 1 joule.

After that...
You'd also have to get the consent of every other airsofter playing, you wouldn't get mine...
Essentialy you're talking about shooting people with an illegal firearm...

bullets

328 fps with a .2g BB everything's fine and dandy.

329 fps your bolt action Sniper Rifle suddenly magically transforms into
a Lethal Firearm, where site owners loose they insurance, other player get decapitated
by any head shots, the BB's will travel an entire mile, and the Gardai wont even licence
the thing its so dangerours and the ERU will coming breaking down your
door at 4am in the morning......................:D
