It's a good thing that various airsoft YouTubers are now taking time to produce videos to explain the Policing & Crime Act as it is now officially law.

Templar Airsoft puts out a video to talk about the new Policing & Crime Act and how it affects UK airsoft... "The Policing and Crime bill has now been given Royal assent and has become the Policing and Crime Act 2017. This new act, when it becomes law, WILL affect airsoft in the UK. However, it is not as bad as it may seem, so long as you are aware of the new law."

For those who are excited about the plan to produce an airsoft version of the SIG SAUER MCX Rifle, better look for another airsoft rifle to purchase as it might not happen.

The fight continues, as the Australians are working hard to have airsoft legalised in Australia. It's not an easy battle as the country is very strict in firearms ownership.

A cosplay dressed up as Col. Rick Flag of Suicide Squad got arrested on the train on his way to a cosplay shoot in NYC. William "Billy" Morris' fault? He was carrying an airsoft gun out in the open. As we always say, do not carry airsoft guns openly in public, especially in NYC where they are strict on airsoft guns. Keep them in bags and out of sight always when transiting.

Police are on the hunt for Nathanael “Lalo” Roberti, a former US Navy SEAL, and are warning the public about him given the special skills he has. Roberti has failed to appear before the court after paying a US$1,000 bond as he was chaged for assault and strangulation, among other violations.

A video from Thumpy Airsoft to watch as Frye the Airsoft Ambassador talks about the Massachusetts HB3476 that will affect the future of airsoft in the state and perhaps the Northeast of the USA...
