Legal Information

iWholesales Ltd is a trade-only supplier ofAirsoft recreational equipment. Airsoft is a popular, non-lethal sporting hobby in the UK, legally and safely categorized alongside common activities like paintball and gel blasting.

1. A Safe & Regulated Hobby
  • Recreational Nature: Airsoft is an organized sporting activity focused on teamwork and target play, much like paintball.
  • Safety Tested: These items are engineered to discharge lightweight 6mm plastic pellets that are non-lethal and designed specifically for hobbyist use.
  • Legal Status: Under the Firearms Act 1968 (Section 57A), airsoft products are not considered firearms because they operate at very low energy levels.
2. Muzzle Energy & Safety Limits

To ensure these items remain safe for recreational play, they strictly follow the kinetic energy limits set by UK law:

  • Fully Automatic Models: These are capped at 1.3 Joules.
  • Single Shot Models: These are capped at 2.5 Joules.
  • Toy-Like Characteristics: Because they fire only plastic or part-plastic spherical missiles (max 8mm diameter) at these low energies, they are legally recognized as safe recreational tools.
3. Restricted Professional Ecosystem (B2B)

While individual buyers at retail shops must provide proof of "Defense" (such as a skirmisher membership) under the VCRA Act, iWholesales operates at a higher professional tier:

  • Vetted Trade Only: This platform is a Closed Ecosystem. We do not sell to the general public.
  • Mandatory Business Verification: Every account is manually reviewed and approved by our compliance team. We only supply verified retailers who are already legal professionals in the hobby industry.
  • Pre-Vetted Supply Chain: By the time an item is listed here, it has already passed through our strict safety and legal vetting process, ensuring it is 100% legal to trade.
4. Industry Accreditations

Our commitment to safety is supported by our active memberships in professional hobbyist and trade associations:

  • GTA (Gun Trade Association): Membership No. IWH/3379.
  • BASC (British Association for Shooting & Conservation): Membership No. 160096741.
  • Registered Firearms Dealer (RFD): We are a Registered Firearms Dealer authorized by the Thames Valley Police (Certificate No: 43/00000008887).

Product Overview

The CL Project x Ares 4inch Combat Version Co2 Revolver (APR-005) is a high-end, competitive-grade "wheel gun" born from an exclusive collaboration between legendary master gunsmith Clarence Lai (CL Project Design) and Ares. Specifically tuned for discerning collectors, custom sidearm enthusiasts, and historical skirmishers, this 4-inch barrel "Combat Version" model strikes the perfect balance between muzzle velocity, sight radius, and quick-draw handling. The entire revolver boasts a heavy zinc alloy construction that gives the platform an authentic, reassuringly solid hand weight, matching the real-world utility of high-caliber duty revolvers.

Ares and CL Project circumvent the traditional accuracy and range limitations of classic airsoft revolvers by embedding an advanced Top-Down Centre (TDC) adjustable hop-up chamber into the assembly. This engineering feature applies highly consistent, uniform vertical backspin, allowing operators to reliably engage distant targets with heavy precision BBs. Enhancing its premium status, the APR-005 features beautifully hand-finished genuine walnut wood grips that elegantly conceal a tool-less compartment for a standard 12g CO2 capsule. Mechanically, the revolver offers a smooth double-action pull and a crisp single-action hammer break. It feeds from six realistic, multi-material metal shells that can be loaded simultaneously using the included high-tensile metal full moon clip. Shipped inside a custom padded hard case, this collaborative masterwork represents an elite tier investment for B2B trade stockists, movie prop armories, and boutique airsoft retailers looking to capture the high-end specialty market.
