At KnifeWarehouse.co.uk & BBgunUK.com we sell crossbows, BB guns, Knives & Straight Swords these are not classed as firearms and so are legal and details can be found below.
We no longer sell air rifles or realistic imitation firearms. Under the new laws it is legal to sell obviously unrelaistic bb guns if the material is transparent or brightly coloured. All of our guns come either clear, blue or red & therefore comply fully with the VCR act.
It is legal to own a crossbow in the UK if you are over 18, however it is illegal to hunt any live animal with one, even rats, pests etc.
We have also discontinued our Samurai Sword range. However the sale of straight and not curved swords is legal now and we will sell some display versions of these in the future.
Swords that are hand forged are legal in the UK also, we will have a couple of models of high quality handmade swords in the near future.
Remember that all these products can be great fun if used responsibly, but they also have the potential to cause serious injury. Please use all protective equipment, and practise in a safe environment.
We have managed to find some useful legal information from BASC (British Association for Shooting and Conservation), so please feel free to download and print this information.
