Ukara and site hire

[True spec op]

Apologies of this is in the wrong section.
I almost have my ukara licence and have been hiring from my localish site (still a good hour away) and its costing me a bit more than expected in fuel and hiring costs.
A friend has said I can borrow one of his guns next game to cut down on the cost a little and just pay the walk on fee for the site. My question is, if I borrow my friends gun for the game instead of hiring a gun from the site can I still get my ukara forms stamped for turning up or do I hve I hire?
Should I phone my local site and check?

Thanks and any help/advice would be awesome!

Fantastic! I can't wait! It'll save me a bit of money borrowing my friends and I really really love airsoft! It should be an olympic sport
Thanks Blytm, good to know

Re: Ukara and site hire

So I can still get my ukara stamped even by borrowing my friends gun, as long as I turn up it's all good then?

Does my friend need to be with me when borrowing his gun? Reason why I'm borrowing his primary weapon is because he can't make it to the next game. I'm with other people I know so should be ok shouldn't it?

Re: Ukara and site hire

It should be completely fine, unless his gun is running hot of course

There are no laws against borrowing a gun and for all intended purposes the site can assume you own the gun, which is also completely fine and dandy legally. whatever you use is your business and the only thing they need to worry about is the guns fps which they check anyhow

Seconded!

Re: Ukara and site hire

Ok so what's running hot mean? And I think it runs at around 315 fps, the sites AEG limit for riles is 350

Re: Ukara and site hire

Running hot is when a gun fires above the sites FPS limit on .2g bbs. At 315 your fine as your under 350.

I said this not so long ago

You'll be fine mate. The law restricts the sale and manufacture of realistic imitation firearms. Doesn't cover ownership, lending or gifting at all. If your mate wanted to give you his gun, he can legally with no restrictions. If he wanted to sell one to you, he'd have to make sure you had a valid defence under the VCR act.

Seconded!

If you think about it it would be the worlds shittest olympic sport ever. It would be utterly tedious to watch.

I know you were only joking but 'spectator sport airsoft' is pointless because of itself

You'd first of all either have to make every spectator wear safety goggles or mesh off the entire 'arena' or woodland.

Then think of the nature of it, heavily camoflaged guys sneaking around a wood firing pellets that are really hard to see. All you;d see if some woodland, the occasional blur of movement and 'dead' players walking out.

The only way around it would be to have it in some sort of 'speedball' type arena or an urban area with CCTV *everywhere* and then you've basically got paintball or quasar/laser quest... both of which are equally naff to watch.

Look at pro 'speedball' paintball, even with bright easy to see arenas, pellets you can pretty much see explode and guys running around in 'sportswear' with sponsorship its still shit to watch.

And no ones going put up money to sponsor or advertise on 'atheletes' you cant see 90 per cent of the time (i know the olympics are 'amateur' so to speak and not pro sponsored as such but to be a viable sport, you need to be able to get sponsorship).

Like i say I know you're joking but we've all thought this at some point and its a real shame it's never gonna happen

That and can you imagine the commentators "GO!... And the French team have put their weapons down and sat in the safe zone... That's friendly fire by the Americans... Germany's captin is refusing to take the hit!"
