Hey guys, I have an MP5 that has it's stock and Handguard two toned green and here's my issue. I wrapped some strips of extremely sticky camo tape around my Handguard and after removing it, helluva lot of the two tone green game with it, giving a really flaky green left over. This was an accident. But after rinsing it off to get the flakey green specs off so it doesn't litter my room, I'm wondering this: what does the law state of your two tone simply wears off (or in this case peals off)? Because I don't want to be in the wrong here.

The stock is still fine though. And tbh the stock is like the size of the gun itself on these little beauties.

Any help or guidance would be appreciated deeply.

Cheers folks.

Don't worry about it.

If paint is there, the rozzers will not care. Other airsofters won't notice and it's obvious what has happened.

AFAIK no one has yet been prosecuted (players, certainly not) for any part of the VCRA relating to airsoft

 
Okay, thanks guys. Very helpful for the most part...apart from the SAS bit, that was different.

Thanks,

You're totally, one hundred percent safe from any sort of legal recourse here. For so many reasons that it's not worth me going into. Just don't start sanding it off/removing it on purpose, unless the gun is already an RIF.

 
My personal opinion. I might or might not be wrong:

If the paint comes off due to normal wear and tear, I'd say no crime has been committed. I'd probably say no crime has been committed here either, however, if it was me I would repaint it just to be on the safe side. Now no one can claim that you did it deliberately.

Preferably the aforementioned fluorescent pink - just to be safe :D
 
Why does it matter! There's no law against owning an IF or a RIF. There is a law against manufacturing a RIF, though I doubt anyone could accuse you of slowly rubbing paint off to do this. That said, if you've ever played airsoft then you're basically immune to prosecution even if you just painted the whole thing black on purpose anyway.

If you are a regular Skirmisher then you have a defence for manufacturing a RIF. You don't need a defence for owning one.

They are two seperate things that get conflated.

 
The orange tip is an American thing, supposedly to enable people to quickly tell the difference between an airsoft gun and a real one.

Since you can buy a real hot pink ar15 (http://www.pinkgun.com/ar15/) I can see why they'd still have to put an orange top on it!

 
being pink isn't enough for an American to differentiate between a real gun and airsoft gun?

then again, a blank firing attachment on a real SA80 is yellow. We need to paint a lump of metal on the end of the barrel to show that it is loaded with blanks and not live rounds

 
there is a law going through that may demad all airsoft guns in state of California

or Los Angles to be COMPLETELY feckin ORANGE by January

to avoid any fatal shootings of airsofters ffs

orange tip may no longer be enough:

Damn Right!

 
At one point Actionhobbies were selling WE Big birds (with blue frames) as RIF's so that isn't all surprising.

 
It's not a problem if TT is coming off its general wear and tear and is to be expected nothing to worry about at all. You only have to worry if you purposely remove it.
