Legality of converting a nerf gun.

[SAS Scott]

Ok guys n gals I am going to convert a nerf gun into an airsoft gun (as a joke TBH) and it will be kept yellow or what ever colour it is but then it will be running 40 RPS , so you can imagine peoples faces when I shoot it .

If I don't paint the gun would it be legal for me to turn it into an airsoft gun?

Those are one of the two guns I want to convert ( I prefer the yellow one) .
I am going to put a V6 or V3 gearbox into the gun and I will do away with the contacts and cut off lever ,as it will be a full auto only gun.I will just put a small button on the original nerf trigger and that will fire the gun.

The magazine will just be a custom made bright yellow auto winding box mag which will be fed into the gun via a feeding tube.
What do you guys think of the project?

Thanks for your help and time.

If you have a RIF defence under VCRA then yes... I guess you could lawfully convert a potato.

If it's yellow then it's not a RIF.

No issues at all.

This seems good with a v6 gearbox it's got a magwell so a hop-up could be lined up there and along with some mods you could probably make a STAR G36 drum mag fit in there for 2500 rounds.

Surely you wouldnt need a defence as its not a real gun?

That makes no sense Air soft gun.


Would be somewhat funny though...turning up to a skirmish with a nerf gun!

The only reason im doing is for a laugh..I got all the parts to do it so why not.
If I do build it I will be using it at the weekender...

Its a NERF gun, you dont need a defence at all for it wether its modded or not.
The fact there isnt even an age limit on them, only a recommendation.

I plan on making videos of me doing some of the work.
The nerf gun I am going to mod is HUGE and I can fit an M4 inside of it so it will simply be a m4 receiver,gearbox , pistol grip and barrel in the gun.As I have said before it will onyl be full auto so it will be very simply to do , I will ditch the contacts and cut off lever .It will just be using a button to trigger the gun ,there will be a safety as the nerf gun has button with a cover over it (like those fighter jet buttons).

I have spent a long time planing what I will do and how I will make it function easy .
