NCA Advisory
We have received a request from the National Consumer Agency to be vigilant about the potential risk of eye damage from a laser mounted on an airsoft gun.
It doesnt appear that this gun is available in any of our affiliated retailers, as from the initial description and photo, it seems that it may be a plastic springer type pistol, but we would still ask that you be aware of the issue and contact the National Consumer Agency should you come across it.
We have attached the relevant email address for the national consumer agency at the end of this post.
