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

Product Overview

The WE 4.5mm/.177 Co2 Air Pistol - 1911 Honeycomb Silver (WE-45-E016-SV) combines contemporary styling with classic firearm handling to deliver an authentic, high-impact training experience. Modeled after John Browning's legendary single-stack sidearm, this premium airgun breaks away from traditional military aesthetics by showcasing an eye-catching, mirror-polished silver finish and aggressive structural details. Built entirely from a heavyweight structural metal alloy, both the slide and frame provide a substantial hand heft and balanced weight distribution that accurately mirrors a live-fire weapon.

Performance-wise, the 1911 Honeycomb Silver runs on a standard 12g CO2 cartridge neatly housed inside a drop-free 16-round vertical metal magazine. This high-pressure powertrain drives a rapid, hard-kicking semi-automatic gas blowback sequence, physically cycling the heavy slide with every shot and locking back cleanly on the last round. True to its tactical heritage, it features an authentic Single-Action Only (SAO) trigger mechanism, an ambidextrous thumb safety lever, a working slide release, and a grip-activated beavertail safety. Completed with black injection-molded grip scales featuring a precision-cut hexagonal "Honeycomb" matrix pattern for a slip-free hold, this .177 caliber steel BB air pistol gives wholesale distributors, retail stores, and enthusiasts a premium mix of standout modern visuals and rugged mechanical reliability.
