Regulations - Airguns & CO2 Models You do not need a licence to own an air rifle or air pistol providing it is not capable of exceeding a certain power limit with any brand of airgun pellet. The power limit is set at 12ft. lbs. for air rifles and 6 ft. lbs. for air pistols. None of the models we sell exceed these limits. It is the owner's responsibility to maintain a legal power output.
You must already be 14 years of age or older to buy an airgun or airgun ammunition and it is proposed that the age for actual ownership is raised to 17. This does not of course prevent ownership by parents.
Any airgun (regardless of its power or classification) is considered a `firearm' if it is used to commit a criminal act, and simply possessing one when committing an offence may greatly increase any sentence a court may award.
Responsibility We can accept no responsibility where purchasers fail to comply with legal requirements. Outside the UK make sure you are aware of and comply with the relevant regulations.
