<P> On 1 January 2013, new Dutch laws regarding airsoft came into effect . Airsoft devices are air, gas, or spring powered weapons with a maximum shooting energy of 3.5 Joule and look almost completely like real firearms . Those who wish to possess an airsoft replica or participate in a skirmish will have to be registered with a certified airsoft organization . As of May 2016, only the NABV, the Dutch Airsoft Sport Association, was registered . Participation in a skirmish for non members is allowed up to 6 times per Year, but the Dutch Airsoft Sports Association will need to receive certain details about the player, this is usually done when you Rent at an airsoft Site . In order to obtain membership with the NABV a person must pass a police background check and must not have committed any crimes in the last 8 years . Skirmish limits are 500 fps for Bolt action snipers or 2 second delay DMR, 450 fps for DMR without delay or 360 for any other Airsoftgun </P> <P> Any player who is not a Dutch citizen can play without membership in the Netherlands, but they have to file for Exemption at the Dutch Airsoft Sport Association </P> <P> Air - powered firearms are legal to possess and use in New Zealand, provided that the person is either over 18 years of age or 16 with a firearms license . A person under 18 may not possess an air gun, but may use one under the direct supervision of someone over 18 or a firearms license holder (Direct supervision requires that the license holder be able to take control of the firearm at all times, so they must remain within arms reach). </P> <P> It is illegal to use these firearms in any manner that may endanger or intimidate members of the public except where there is reasonable cause such as an airsoft game . </P>
