Responsible use

Clear rules. Safer game days.

Airsoft replicas are sporting equipment and must be handled responsibly. Operators set the age, identification, protective equipment, ammunition, chronograph and power-limit requirements for each site and event. Players are responsible for arriving prepared and stopping to ask when they are unsure.

Before booking

Read the operator's current site rules, event brief and ticket conditions before reserving a place. Check age limits, power limits, face-protection rules, ammunition requirements, arrival times and cancellation terms. If anything is unclear, ask the operator before you travel.

At the site

Eye protection must be worn whenever the operator says the play area is live, and it must stay on until you are in a clearly marked safe zone. Follow marshal instructions, keep replicas pointed safely, remove magazines only where instructed and never test-fire in a non-play area.

Transport and storage

Transport replicas unloaded, covered and secured, and keep them out of public view. Store batteries, gas, ammunition and replicas safely. Follow the law and the operator's transport guidance; if you are unsure, seek qualified advice before travelling.

UKARA and site requirements

UKARA is not a universal permission to participate. Operators set their own participation and purchase requirements, and retailers may ask for evidence before selling a realistic imitation firearm. Always follow the specific rules shown for the event and supplier.

Eye protection is non-negotiable

Your eyes are your responsibility.

A BB can cause permanent injury in an instant. Before every game, confirm that your eye protection is impact-rated, fits securely and is accepted by the operator. Keep it on in the live area, even when you are not currently playing.

Look for: permanent product markings, a stated standard such as EN 166 or EN ISO 16321, and a declaration of conformity or manufacturer documentation.

Walk away when: the listing only says “tactical” or “anti-UV”, markings cannot be verified, the lens is scratched or cracked, or the seller cannot identify the manufacturer.

Do not substitute: fashion glasses, ordinary sunglasses, workshop eyewear with an unsuitable impact rating, mesh of unknown specification or a loose pair that leaves gaps.

If in doubt: ask the operator to check your eye protection before entering the game. If it does not meet their rule, do not play until you have suitable protection.

Player responsibility

A site briefing cannot make an unknown product safe. Check your own equipment, disclose damage or poor fit, and speak up if another player removes eye protection in a live area. The operator can set and enforce rules, but every player owns the decision to enter safely equipped.

A simple pre-game check

  1. 01 Check the frame, lens, strap and seal for damage or excessive wear.
  2. 02 Confirm the marking and documentation match the product you are wearing.
  3. 03 Put it on before entering the live area and keep it on until a marshal confirms it is safe to remove.
