A 1000fps airgun would require a PAL license, mcguyver already said that. Airsoft and airguns would be in two different categories even though they still fall under the same 500fps rule. Airguns being used for target shooting/light hunting and airsoft being used to shoot other people... so you're wondering why airsoft guns legal limit is the same as an airgun? Well.. think about it. One of them you shoot humans with, the other you don't. If you mean as far as purchasing goes, why would they raise the limit of the fps/joule limit? Have you ever been hit by a 500fps bb?
What would be the point of raising the limit just to buy airsoft guns with more power when you couldn't even use them to play? :smack:
