There are no regulations for the movement of unloaded weapons as long as they are under the direct supervision of a licensed person. However, the Ministry of the Interior may prohibit or restrict the carrying of loaded or unloaded weapons throughout Polish territory or in certain places for a limited period. It has become common to promulgate ministerial regulations that enforce these limits at major events such as international conferences, visits by prominent political figures, mass gatherings, major sports championships or even on occasions such as National Independence Day. [50] During the border crisis between Belarus and the European Union in 2021-2022, such a ban was announced for municipalities along the Polish-Belarusian border, first on the basis of emergency laws, and then – after the lifting of the state of emergency due to time restrictions – on the basis of the Firearms Law. [51] [52] [v] Airsoft weapons cannot be legally possessed in Queensland under current state law, regardless of the muzzle velocity. Since airsoft weapons cannot be used legally in Queensland, they cannot be imported into Queensland. [4] Chile has recognized airsoft as a legal sporting activity in accordance with Exceptional Resolution No. 245 of 20 January 2011 of the National Institute of Sport. Minors (under 18 years of age) can only purchase airsoft pistols with a power of less than 0.08 joule. Airsoft weapons can only have an initial energy of less than two joules (464 fps with 0.2 g bb), otherwise they are no longer qualified as airsoft replicas, but firearms and owners must follow the French weapons law (of 2013).
California makes it illegal to sell airsoft/BB weapons to anyone under the age of 18 without parental permission, and all airsoft pistols must be equipped with an orange flame for sale and transportation. Since 2016, the state also requires all airsoft weapons to have a fluorescent spot on the trigger bar and handle (with additional requirements for rifles or long guns). [81] Airsoft is currently not regulated in Mexico and replicas are not subject to the Federal Firearms and Explosives Act or its regulations. As a result, the practice of airsoft, as well as the possession and possession of replicas and accessories of airsoft, is a legal activity in the country according to the Constitution. Airsoft weapons with less than two joules of muzzle energy are legal. While stores sell airsoft weapons and accessories, the law is somewhat vague. Paintball weapons, BB weapons and airsoft weapons are not considered firearms, so it is legal to possess them without having a license or registering them. However, the owner must meet the following conditions: Therefore, the bill also does not prohibit: imitation of firearms (including airsoft weapons) that are mainly colored otherwise than black, brown, blue, silver or metallic; no counterfeit firearms made of materials that are primarily transparent or translucent, so that anyone can determine the contents of the firearm; Nor those with bright orange spikes that suggest they are a “toy” and not a real gun. Civil permits for firearms are issued by the Commander of the Voivodeship Police through the administrative department of his office. For other weapons, the responsibility lies with the district commander. Professional soldiers receive their permits (for private weapons) from the commander in charge of the military police. The procedures are carried out within the framework of administrative law; Disputes are handled by administrative tribunals.
There is no clear law on transporting airsoft replicas, but it is generally accepted by players to carry replicas as if they were real firearms to avoid any risk of trouble with the authorities. This means that replicas must be covered while they are transported into the public domain, for example in a fire bag. A plausible explanation must also be given when transporting airsoft replicas at the request of law enforcement authorities. This table is provided for reference only and may not be used in violation of the applicable laws of any company in which they are applicable. Laws may also be changed, and these changes may not be reflected on this sheet. Airsoft Station does not provide state or country compliant labeling services, such as paint, registration, or brand products required by local, urban, state, regional, county, country, or other laws. It is the buyer`s responsibility to be aware of all applicable laws. By placing an order, you also agree that you can legally import and own all the products in your order. Airsoft is a legal sport in Bulgaria and there are no restrictions on weapons, with the exception of a parental license for people under 18 years of age. Since airsoft weapons are considered air guns under Bulgarian law, no document or license is required to possess them. There are no restrictions on lasers, flashlights, etc. In addition, the end of the barrel does not need to be painted orange (as in the United States).
There are no restrictions on the performance of air rifles/airsoft weapons (although there are official rules applied by the various airsoft courts or by Airsoft Sofia in the games they organize) nor on their transport in public spaces, although it is strongly advised not to carry replica firearms in public places apart from a carrying bag or a suitable backpack. This rule is unofficially enforced by the organization Airsoft Sofia and punishable by a ban on official games (temporary or permanent), as it leads to unwanted friction between players and authorities and the public. The possession of lasers and lamps mounted on airsoft weapons is illegal. Possession of a device mounted on a weapon and intended to project light in one form or another in front of the muzzle is illegal. A violation is a criminal offence. The new law introduced separate institutional authorisations[30]: Article 29 for private security companies, shooting ranges, sports clubs, schools, etc., which allows them to purchase firearms and ammunition, and related authorizations for the handling of weapons[30]: Article 30 for employees of these companies, which authorizes them to carry and use corporate weapons. In July 2010, Israeli airsoft associations concluded negotiations with the Israeli government. Since then, any club (or member of the Tacticball Club) can carry airsoft equipment (weapons, parts, etc.) home. In addition, the transport and transport of airsoft weapons can only take place if a tip of the barrel is painted red or orange. In Hungary, the law classifies airsoft weapons as air guns.
They can be owned from the age of 18 without a license. You must be at least 18 years of age to purchase and use airsoft firearms. Minors (under the age of 18) may be arrested and detained for several years. The aim of this amendment was to introduce a classification of firearms in order to remove the legal strangeness in which toy suction darts and the like were legally classified as firearms, thus aligning Ireland with the rest of the EU. In this case, one joule was used as a limit, as opposed to seven joules in Germany, twelve foot-pounds of power (16.2 J) in the UK, and so on. The limit of a joule was most likely the result of British case law, which found that energies of more than one joule were required to penetrate an eyeball (resulting in serious injury). As a result, airsoft devices were released under a joule of power and became legal in Ireland. No airsoft website in Ireland would allow a player to use an airsoft device of more than one joule. In Kuwait, airsoft weapons were legal and there was even a milsim, but they are now banned. Airsoft weapons were introduced into law in 1985. They were classified in the category of air guns.
In this classification you will find air guns (any performance limit), airsoft weapons and paintball weapons. Currently, to own and purchase any of these weapons, you must have a B Target Shooter license and be a member of a registered and authorized club. Medical and psychological examinations must be carried out by doctors who have undergone official training in the legal regulations and methods of carrying out these assessments and who are registered by the Commander of the Voivodeship Police in the official register of licensed practitioners. The results of the assessments (positive or negative) may be challenged by both the applicant and the police; In this case, the evaluations are repeated in front of public health centers or research institutes specializing in occupational medicine. These latter assessments are final and cannot be challenged before the administrative courts. Authorisation procedures have been adopted on condition that they do not pose a threat to themselves or to public policy and that they have a valid reason. The types of firearms allowed and their calibers have been expanded. Members of historical societies engaged in re-enactments were allowed to have empty rifles, including fully automatic rifles. Replicas of pre-1885 guns that did not use pre-assembled ammunition were allowed without permission. The movement of the unloaded guns was not limited. The use of laser pointers and night vision devices has been allowed.
The online arms trade was allowed. The law stipulates that the use of night vision (infrared) or laser aiming devices for military purposes is totally limited to members of the military and affiliated entities, even if the aiming device is used on a firearm of the lower restriction category (for example, an airsoft pistol). However, the law in no way restricts the use of aiming devices that are not intended for military purposes. The law imposes various conditions and requirements concerning the possession and use of firearms by citizens and foreigners, administrative procedures for the issuance and revocation of permits and for the registration of firearms, rules for the cross-border transport of firearms by individuals and basic regulations for shooting ranges.
