What Is a Two Tone Rifle?
A two tone airsoft rifle is a replica gun painted in a bright colour (typically blue, orange, or green) to comply with UK law. They’re the same in terms of performance as their black counterparts – just a different look to meet legal requirements for non-UKARA buyers.
These rifles:
-
Fire standard 6mm BBs
-
Are available in semi or full-auto depending on type
-
Are ideal for target shooting, back garden battles, or entry-level skirmishing
Choosing Your First Two Tone BB Rifle
When selecting a two tone rifle, consider:
-
Power Source:
-
Spring rifles are low-cost and simple.
-
Electric AEGs offer full-auto and are skirmish-ready.
-
Gas rifles deliver realistic recoil but need more maintenance.
-
Style & Size: M4 and AK styles dominate the two tone market. Go for something comfortable and balanced for your height and arm reach.
-
Budget: We’ve got rifles for every price point – from under £40 to high-end starter AEGs.
And don’t forget essentials like BBs, eye protection, and a charger if needed.
Looking After Your Two Tone Rifle
-
Always use high-quality 6mm BBs to prevent jams.
-
Keep barrels clean using a cleaning rod.
-
Store indoors, away from moisture.
-
For AEGs, unplug batteries when not in use.
A little care goes a long way to keeping your rifle running smoothly and safely.
Two Tone Rifle vs. Black Rifle – What's the Real Difference?
Legally, two tone rifles can be sold to anyone 18+, while black or realistic imitation firearms (RIFs) require a defence like UKARA. Performance-wise, both shoot the same and share the same internal parts – only the colour is different. Many players start with a two tone and later upgrade to a black RIF once registered with a site.
