your questions

Suggested Search Tip:
Keep your search short - don't enter a long sentence, as the support system will pick out ALL your words.
Why has my gun been delivered without a laser?
We currently have an issue with some of our lasers supplied with our guns. It's related to licensing. Until we can resolve this issue with our supplier, we are not supplying lasers with any of our guns, sorry for any inconvenience. If you purchased a gun and it was meant to have a laser, we will let you know soon how you can claim your free laser, once the situation is resolved. We do not yet have a date when the laser can be issued. If you do write to us about this, we can only direct you to this text as we sadly have no further information on the subject.

Keywords: laser, lazer, sight.

Battery Upgrading - Can I upgrade the batteries to get more power?
Never use anything other than the recommended battery type as supplied with your gun

BB Pellets - Can I reuse BB pellets?
Only use new BB pellets or your gun WILL jam, as old BB pellets will be distorted in shape

Can I spray paint my bb gun a different colour?

No - never spray paint your BB Gun a different colour.  What makes your BB Gun legal is that it is coloured by the manufacturer a set colour, or see-through.

If you spray it, it will become illegal to own.  And it will void (break) any warranty you might have had.

So do not spray paint any bb gun.



Can I take my bb gun abroad?

You will need to check with your flight company to find out the legal side of using BB Guns in the country to which you are travelling. 

 

We cannot offer advice on travelling abroad with BB Guns directly, as we sell them for use in the UK.



Can I take the gun in to mud and water?
Keep your gun clean and free from dirt.

Can you post to Northern Ireland?

Yes we can.  Add something to your basket and select where it need to post to.

How long is the warranty for my gun?

All items on the website have a 28 day warranty.

Faulty item returns must be made before the end of your warranty period.



How long should I charge the battery for?
Never overcharge the gun battery!

*WARNING*: Do not overcharge batteries! If they overheat, you could cause damage to the battery and create a potential fire hazard!
  • Be sure to read the charger instructions thoroughly before charging your battery.
  • Not all chargers are created equal. Please use the proper charger which is intended for your battery type, i.e. if you are charging a 9.6V Nimh battery, be sure your charger can charge 9.6V batteries and Nimh batteries.
  • Be sure to use the proper connectors to connect your battery to the charger.
  • Calculate the proper amount of time required to charge a battery by dividing the battery's milliamp capacity by the chargers charge rate, e.g. it would take a 250 mah rate charger 6 hours to charge a completely drained 1500 mah battery. Every charger is different, so be certain to read your chargers manual thoroughly before charging your battery.
  • If you are not certain of a battery's remaining charge and you wish to charge it, place the battery on the charger and check it every 5-10 minutes. If the battery is warm to the touch, assume it is fully charged. If it is hot to the touch, remove the battery from the charger immediately!
  • Remember, NiCad batteries must be completely discharged before charging again. Use the appropriate discharger to discharge the battery, or completely drain the battery through normal use before charging again.


How many BB pellets fit in my magazine?

How old do I need to be to buy a BB gun?

Anyone purchasing a BB gun needs to be 18 or over. We do not recommend any of our guns to be used by anyone under the age of 14, but this is down to parental discretion. Anyone using the guns under the age of 18 needs to be actively supervised by an adult and all users (and supervising parents/guardians) need to wear safety glasses/goggles at the very least. Some guns, like the VSR11 and the M57A rifles should not be used by anyone under the age of 18.

I do not have the operator manual for my bb gun?

You can request a refund or replacement.

Please do not just send your faulty or damaged item to the invoiced address without your Return ID number, as it cannot be handled in that way, and your BB Gun may end up lost within our warehouse.  We can only accept Returns that are sent via our Returns form that have a Returns ID number attach to it.  This is for your protection so we can monitor and track it.

You can only return a product for these reasons:
- Your product is faulty and is within 28 days of delivery for a replacement.

My BB Gun only fires upside down. Why?

Your magazine might not pushing the BBs up.  Or you have not wound up the magazine enough.

 

It can also be because you have simply not started your gun with enough bb pellets inside the magazine.

Should I have the HOP UP on or off when unblocking BB pellets from my gun?

Switch it off - please see below... 1. Remove the magazine and return the hop up adjustment to the normal position. 2. Insert the cleaning (unblocking) rod from the load edge of the barrel, be sure that the angled part of the rod faces down and remove clogged bullets.

Therefore if you purchase on Friday before 3pm, your item should be delivered Monday, or Tuesday at the latest. Only other way to guarantee it gets there is Royal Mail which is more expensive than UK Mail. 50% of our products are heavy and bulky - too much for Royal Mail to handle.

What BB pellets should I use?

Do not use low quality BB pellets that will jam and damage your gun. Only use high quality recommended 6mm BB pellets!

 

WEIGHT
0.12g are good for all guns, 0.20g are standard for most good quality guns and any other ammo such as 0.25g and upwords are for more accuracy and top range skirmishing bb guns.

 

These are not 12 gram - they are 0.12 gram.  Therefore:
0.12g  = 0.12 Grams and so on.



What does FPS mean when I see it on this website relating to a BB gun?

FPS - means Feet Per Second and is used like MPH - Miles Per Hour i.e. it is a way of measuring the speed in which the BB gun will project the BB bullets when fired.

BB guns use air and spring power and are intended for general target practice. They use 6mm plastic BB bullets (small balls) and are totally harmless providing our safety information is observed.

What magazine fits my gun?

We receive many questions about magazines that fit particular guns.

 

Generally you can tell if it will fit as the magazine will appear very similar on our screen to the one you have with your bb gun.

 

Our Support Team try to know which mags fit with bb guns, but they dont always have the information, so its best to just check the magazine section first.

 

The accessories part below each bb gun will soon show which magazine or accessories is compatible with it.



What should I do if my BB Gun is jammed?

To clear a jammed BB pellet from the barrel of your BB gun use the unblocking tool or unjamming rod. Fist remove the magazine and switch off the safety. Push the rod gently down the barrel to loosen the bb. Never look down the barrel to view the jammed BB. For best results spray or drop airsoft silicon lubricant into the barrel.

 

Do not attempt to remove the barrel or open your BB gun as this will invalidate the 28 day warranty.

 

Never use cheap BB pellets. The use of poor quality, low grade BB pellets may cause damage to your gun and will invalidate the warranty.

 

Other terms used: jamed, jam., block, blocked, jammed, blocks, blok

Why are the BB guns on this website not illegal in the UK?
All of our BB guns are two tone with one of the colours being almost luminous orange. It is now only illegal to sell black guns that could be mistaken for the real thing. We have also now added some clear guns that are also non black and OK within the UK.

Why does my electric BB gun only works upside-down?
If you have a motorised magazine it will need winding up, also motorised magazines only work correctly when they have lots of BB pellets physically in the magazine. Please do not over wind your magazine as it may seriously damage it long term.

Will I need to clean my gun?
Your gun may need lubricating from time to time, only use high quality BB gun lubricant
