California has enacted legislation that requires specific colorings on all airsoft guns. This is to distinguish an airsoft gun from a real gun.
Please, remember: It is your responsibility to know the laws governing your state and local jurisdictions.
Imitation firearm means any BB device, toy gun, a replica of a firearm, or another device that is so substantially similar in coloration and overall appearance to an existing firearm as to lead a reasonable person to perceive that the device is a firearm.
If the airsoft gun is configured as a handgun, the markings must include the following:
- Blaze orange ring on the barrel
- Trigger guard that has fluorescent coloration over the entire guard
- A two-centimeter wide adhesive band around the circumference of the protruding pistol grip that has fluorescent coloration
If the airsoft gun is configured as a rifle or long gun, the markings must include the following:
- Blaze orange ring on the barrel
- Trigger guard that has fluorescent coloration over the entire guard
- A two-centimeter wide adhesive band with fluorescent coloring around the circumference of two of the following: the protruding pistol grip, the buttstock, or a protruding ammunition magazine or clip.
Pyramyd Air charges a non-refundable $5.00 fee to provide the legally required markings on all airsoft guns before shipping.
