Airsoft was the biggest waste of money in my life I got all the stuff to play, but there were no local leagues or anything so unless you have a local league I wouldnt do it. As far as laws the only one I know of is to make sure your gun has the orange tip on the front...\n\n\n~Johnny

They are about as loud as a .22 caliber. As long as it's not repetitive, no hearing loss should be a result. The DH and I shoot pistols/rifles every week at the club, but of course hearing protection is involved. I ran track in H.S., but don't even recall being startled by the starter (lol).

The only national law for airsoft guns is that the end of the barrel needs to have a blaze orange tip. If you take that tip off you gun then becomes illegal. Also some states and cities ban airsoft gun so it depends on when you live so check you local laws. Also there is no law aginst shooting each other with them. Though if a police saw it and mistook it for a real gun you would have quite a problem. That brings me to say that scence airsoft guns are all copies of real guns police officers can easily mistake them for real guns.

there are several traffic laws that can fit this situation  \nfor loud mufflers there is a traffic laws that requires even bikes to \nhave a muffler that does not emmit a unusal sound. for loud radio\nmost cities have a ordinance that make it against the law. i will write a citation most of the time if the situation calls for it . i will stop a loud bike as fast as i would a bassin vehicle . if the driver want attention he/she will get it . most of the time a warning but if required a citation . yes even a bike will be stopped.

It depends on the area you're buying it in.  Silencers are ILLEGAL in the US.  Of course that doesn't mean you can't find them, just that they are illegal.

I doubt that it is illegal, but it isn't good business practice. \n\nCalifornia is big into consumer protection, though. You could write/call the State Office of Consumer Affairs and complain.\n\nhttp://www.dca.ca.gov/

Bound's hubby here:\n\nNot that spud guns are legal here but, using carbide rocks and a little bit of water to create the gas, you can expect a low deep thud similar to a baseball bat hitting an empty 55 gallon drum. A nice deep thuuuud.\n\nEnjoy (but not if you live in New Jersey!)

It is fairly easy to silence a firearm but understand you can truly only silence a bullet that is traveling less than the speed of sound.  Any bullet traveling faster than that has it's own sonic boom which sounds like a crack down range.  That you cannot silence.  Sub-sonic cartridges are designed for slower velocities which will allow for true silencing.  At sea level, I believe the speed of sound to be around 750 miles per hour which translates to ~1100 feet per second.  The rest of the answers are true enough... just like adding a muffler.

Don't know why you would want to, but no, it's not illegal.  I suppose if your tint was so dark as to render the mirror unusable you might find yourself in violation, but otherwise rear view mirrors are specifically exempt from the no-tint laws in California.

I have a friend who was arrested for it. If the music is too loud they can ask you to turn it down, write you a citation or just take you to jail. Its up to the cops and how you act toward them.

Sounds legal to me.\n\nBut, check out a book, "Tenent's Rights" (or some such title) by Nolo Press at the booksore, library, or at www.nolo.com .  They have a California-specific version that should address this *exact* situation.

According to UK law, exhaust silencers should be clearly marked 'For road use' -  any others are probably illegal.  But a lot of motorcyclists, especially teenagers on 'powered roller skates',  buy noisy, illegal 'cans' and put them on their machines because in their minds noise equals power. \nThey are deluded, of course.   In any case, a quiet machine that can accelerate swiftly and smoothly will _always_ be more impressive (and acceptable) than Joe Bloggs on his 250 cc machine sounding like an Isle of Man entrant (but actually creeping along!).  Fortunately,  there are definitely fewer really loud machines on the roads these days. And for those who say that noisy machines help the rider to be noted, well that is not really true since the noise  _follows_ , not _precedes_  the rider....  Lights, bright clothing and sticking to speed limits is the way to avoid an accident - not noise.

None of those variants come with a threaded barrel; that's what you need for a suppressor. You can, however, purchase any of the above with a threaded barrel. I won't get into the legality of suppressors, but do make sure that a) they're legal where you live; b) you have the sign-off from the chief law-enforcement official in your town; and c) you pay your $200 tax to the BATFE after filling out endless forms.
