The British Airsoft Club (BAC) is a UK-wide organisation dedicated to supporting airsoft players, venues, and retailers. It provides a recognised system for verifying that players meet the legal requirements to purchase and own Realistic Imitation Firearms (RIFs) under UK law.

 

Player Verification

BAC allows players to demonstrate that they are active, insured skirmishers who regularly attend legitimate airsoft games. This verification can be used at participating retailers as proof of a legal defence when buying airsoft guns, similar to the UKARA system.

 

Membership and Community

Unlike retailer-driven systems, BAC operates as a membership club. Players can sign up directly, and airsoft sites can register to verify their members. BAC also provides:

  • Insurance options for players and venues
  • A directory of BAC-registered airsoft sites across the UK
  • Community support and guidance for new players and organisers
  • A flexible system for new or small venues to join

Why Choose BAC?

BAC is ideal for players who want a player-focused, independent verification system that also offers extra benefits like insurance and community support. It works alongside UKARA, and many players maintain both memberships to maximise flexibility for purchasing and playing at different sites.
