-
Fully black or camo finishes – not two tone
-
Enhanced realism for immersion and authenticity
-
Often higher-quality builds than entry-level models
-
Ideal for regular skirmishers and competitive players

UKARA Rifle vs. Two Tone Rifle – What’s the Difference?
UKARA rifles (RIFs) are realistic in appearance and require an airsoft defence to purchase. Two tone rifles are brightly coloured and legal for anyone 18+ to buy without a defence. Internally, they can be identical – it’s the external appearance and legal access that differ.
