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 WE G17 Series, Gen 5 Co2 Blowback Air Pistol – (4.5mm/.177 – WE-45-G001VB-BK) is a high-performance, full-scale tactical airgun engineered to match the advanced ergonomics, ambidextrous features, and handling dynamics of the latest fifth-generation modern service sidearm. Combining a heavy-duty metal slide with an impact-resistant engineering polymer lower frame, this air pistol is built to withstand rigorous use. Replicating the distinct Gen 5 design updates, the frame removes traditional finger grooves for an unconstrained grip, adds an ambidextrous slide stop lever, and incorporates a flared magazine well to facilitate lightning-fast, intuitive reloads during tactical training scenarios.

Performance-wise, the WE-45-G001VB-BK utilizes a powerful, high-efficiency 12g CO2 pneumatic engine housed entirely within the heavy-duty 20-round drop-free metal magazine. This system drives a sharp, high-velocity semi-automatic gas blowback action, cycling the heavy metal slide aggressively with every shot and locking back firmly on the last round. Complete with standard low-profile white combat contrast sights, a dual-stage safety mechanism, and a lower 20mm accessory rail for lights or lasers, this .177 caliber steel BB air pistol provides commercial ranges, training operators, and wholesale buyers with a highly durable, top-tier force-on-force training platform.
