So - Does This Count as a RIF? Trigger Warning: Contains Speedsoft

[Adolf Hamster]

There is a definate element of what feels right to an individual

For anything more than a pistol I need to got for two hands, steadiness beating the natural single hand pointing, and practice ‘knowing’ where it will probably go

With a pistol my pointing is more ‘accurate’ if I lift and shoot, if I wait around then I probably lose that initial pointing to waving around or my eyes trying to tell my brain they know where to point

Im big handed, so a small gripped gun won’t work for me, and often something too light just won’t point in the right place, I need to get the ‘feel’ of how much lift I’m putting in

this is true it is a very individualised thing.

i agree with you on the instinct shooting for pistols, generally short range it's hip-fire and hope or long range it's careful time on the sights, but in-between i'm pretty much guaranteed to miss unless the other guy isn't looking.

Those novelties are targeting young population, some of us are too old and conservative to be excited by a colorful garden hose mimicking some laser gun from a stupid smartphone game.

The reason the middle finger is more popular with the ‘dress like a clown speedier’ side of airsofting(more than likely without then even realising it) is you can actually spam a trigger fast with your middle finger than any other finger on your hand . The posterior tendon on the middle finger has the straightest pull of all the tendons on your hand so it can activate much faster than the others .

if you hold your hand in side profile in front of a digital screen and ‘waggle’ each finger you’ll see the middle can go a lot faster than the rest .?

Well that was a waste of a good explanation , do you honestly think someone who dresses like that has got close enough to a female who wasn’t a close family member that they could instigate sexual foreplay ? !?!?!? ?‍ As if !

I might use that as a pulling method to show off my finger skills once I can get outside in public again 

Lock up your wives, sisters, aunties ..... Tom’s waggling his fingers

Nerf has been getting very 'Gunny' recently as it is. Nerf like the Saturn:

Takedown:

and Charger:

Are all pretty much a paintjob away from being what they average observer would call a gun.

for example.

The aftermarket isn't helping either, the Worker Prophecy is pretty much an assault rifle, and there are further kits to turn it into an L96 or a Barret.

I love it, as a nerf collector, but how far can they go before it all gets regulated? Not to mention that it is possible to build or even buy nerf guns capable of firing gram plus projectiles at over 400 fps.

 

[Tommikka]

In original colours they comply with the VCRA

Modify one as in the above photos and you’ve fallen in to RIF territory

They already are regulated but people might not realise.

Just like at least one retailer in the UK is selling gel blasters with a statement that they don’t have to be two toned as they are exempt.  The opinion in court up against the VCRA definition of a RIF would differ
