Airsoft Legislation in Norway: Understanding the Gun Control Act

In Norway, the Gun Control Act (Våpenforskrift) stipulates that players must be at least 18 years of age to buy, hand over, possess, and use airsoft weapons. A firearms certificate is not required. Access the full text of the Våpenforskrift here.

Airsoft weapons must be marked with an orange tip at the end of the barrel and cannot exceed 3 joules of muzzle energy. Airsoft equipment may only be used in areas specifically designated for airsoft activities.

While Norway has no specific laws on airsoft, airsoft guns are considered replica firearms and are therefore subject to the same general laws and restrictions as real firearms. This means that airsoft guns cannot be carried in public places, except to and from an airsoft event or club. Airsoft weapons must also be kept in a locked container.

It is illegal to modify airsoft weapons to make them more realistic or to increase muzzle velocity beyond 3 joules. Additionally, it is illegal to remove the orange tip from airsoft weapons.
