- It is of ["Illegal in Davis" debatable legality] to discharge airsoft guns in Davis. [http://www.city.davis.ca.us/cmo/citycode/detail.cfm?p=26&q=1046 Municipal code 26.02.060] prohibits the discharge of air guns within city limits, but electric and spring airsoft guns ''are not'' air guns under California law. Gas-powered airsoft guns don't actually operate on compressed air, but instead operate by igniting a flammable gas. Thus, they're not air guns, but a prosecutor could argue that they fall under the law prohibiting discharge. This would depend on whether they accept the airsoft gun as an airgun (and airsoft guns have a wide variation), but the real risk by prosecution is putting people and property at risk. Various people at the ["Davis Police Department"] are under the impression that the municipal code prohibits firing all airsoft guns within the city, although they are not very clear on whether airsoft guns qualify as airguns. For example, one representative at the DPD, after conference with other employees, stated any projectile powered by air is prohibited, regardless of it's strength, type of material used, or speed. This is extremely vague: Do [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerf Nerf] guns qualify? Most definitely not. Again, it seems the situation is more important than the actual shooting of airsoft guns. Several police officers have happened upon people playing games (both at three in the morning, and three in the afternoon) and been fine with it. It does not seem from the comments below that anyone has been cited for playing with airsoft guns in Davis.	+ It is of ["Illegal in Davis" debatable legality] to discharge airsoft guns in Davis.

Many of these, especially the electric guns, are [wiki:wikipedia:"selective fire"] guns. As most of these guns are very realistic and designed to look just like the real thing, the tips of the barrels are often painted orange to distinguish them from real firearms. Federal law actually requires these markings on fake guns that are imported or shipped in the US, with some exceptions for law enforcement, movie, and theatrical purposes.

I'll look into it and ask. I'm pretty sure that code refers to metal bb shooting guns when it says airguns, such as an air-rifle that can actually inflict harm - not these replica pseudo-toys that shoot plastic bb's. Airsoft guns are not federally classified as firearms, although the orange tip must not be removed, and despite the name, most are not actually air powered which is why I doubt they're meant to be included in the law. Besides, if they were illegal within city limits, I believe Big 5 would have to say something about it if you buy one too. And the multiple police officers I've dealt with have never said anything about them being illegal, just to be careful to play where no one can get hurt, although we didn't bother to ask. - - * 09/24/06: In response to a problem with some neighbor kids, I called the DPD to inquire. As soon as I said the word "Airsoft," the staff person told me that it's illegal to discharge an Airsoft gun within the Davis city limits. - * In my dealings with police, I find quite frequently that they do not know the law much better than the average citizen. For what it is worth, there is an ordinance that prohibits discharging airguns within city limits. The ordinance does not define the term, but the California penal code does.

Gas-powered airsoft guns don't actually operate on compressed air, but instead operate by igniting a flammable gas. Thus, they're not air guns, but a prosecutor could argue that they fall under the law that prohibits the discharge of actual firearms. Various people at the ["Davis Police Department"] are under the impression that the municipal code prohibits firing all airsoft guns within the city. In the interest of avoiding arrest, you should probably consider shooting an airsoft gun in Davis to be illegal and act accordingly. That means that you should '''NEVER PLAY IN PUBLIC OR WHERE THE PUBLIC CAN OBSERVE YOU.''' Play at one of the locations listed below or on other privately owned land outside the city limits. You, of course, should have the permission of the landowner or tenant.

Airsoft guns are not federally classified as firearms, although the orange tip must not be removed, and despite the name, most are not actually air powered which is why I doubt they're meant to be included in the law.

They shoot plastic bb's, even if it is gas or electric with blowback. Also, you don't need to be 18 to buy an airsoft gun, while I do believe you need to be for any of the other ones. --["EdwinSaada"]

I know spring-loaded guns shouldn't count, but what about gas blowback and electric blowback? Also, I'm wondering if there's a feet-per-second (FPS) limit on what guns are allowed, indicating how fast our guns can shoot, and therefore, how powerful they are. --["AlexanderHo"]

I think that should clarify that spring-loaded airsoft guns are NOT air guns. Legal? I say yes! --["JohnDudek"]
