If you change red to bright blue, that's OK - you're not making an IF into a RIF.

No doubt Robin will come along and hit us with the knowledge stick once more, but as far as I am aware there is nothing in the VCR stating colours, only that they have to be bright and cover 51% of the IF.

I wouldn't quote me on that but that is my understanding.

The list is in the RIF addendum to the VCRA, which also defines the defence we use for airsoft.

From the RIF Statutory Instrument:

7.—(1) For the purposes of section 38(3)(b) of the 2006 Act and paragraph 6(3)(b) of Schedule
2 to that Act, a colour is to be regarded as unrealistic for a real firearm only if it is a colour
specified in paragraph (2) or if the imitation firearm is made of transparent material.
(2) The colours specified in this paragraph are—
(a) bright red;
(b) bright orange;
(c) bright yellow;
(d) bright green;
(e) bright pink;
(f) bright purple; and
(g) bright blue.

^^ nothing
Thats one of the argument's used against Two tones (i think)
and also dont quote me but i think that was the main reason the California sb798 bill didn't pass? (think i heard that somewhere)

Proof there about how useless the vcra actually is. So many loopholes and non-specific rubbish!

Hang on... Is it 51& or THE MAJORITY of the gun?

as if the latter, could you just not mix a purple on with say, white and black camo?
Would look pretty awesome i think :')

Spot on, it's the primary colour that needs to be bright, so 34% purple, 33% white and 33% black would be OK according to ACPO.

Really?

Imagine you're an ARV cop and a guy points a bright blue gun at you. Wouldn't you hesitate for a split second?

It's happening already if what my neighbour (who's an ARV officer) says is true and I've got no reason to disbelieve him

Re: What colours for two tone ?

Wait, so if you did say; a Red urban camoflauge scheme for a gun in which bright red is used for 34% of the gun, would that be ok? despite this camoflauge scheme being realistic as it is used in the real world?
