S/S 'Match' Airsoft Pistol?

[Tony.T]

Why is it gas reservoir powered? I thought these were SSP. Cocking effort to compress air for the 1 joule or so needed would be nothing.

No- these are an 'airsoft pistol' so run on Propane or derivatives. Classed as a toy by most countries except for here why Airsoft pistols come under the VCR act. But as I discovered you can make a mockery of this.

I'm going to start a thread on the members section regards this..

Airsoft also includes other power plants, electric (Airsoft Electric Gun:AEG) and spring (typically bolt action “sniper” rifles)

It’s more to do with low power and firing plastic balls, making them non-lethal. They were included in the VCR act because most are replicas of real firearms. Inert replicas are covered by the same restrictions.
