Rules for air force in Norway

Rules for purchasing air weapons are that you must be 18 years old to buy. If someone under the age of 18 is to use the air force, this must be done under the supervision of people over the age of 18. The weapon must be used in a suitable area and must not be carried in public. The purchase of a larger caliber / coarse caliber air weapon (larger than 4.5mm) requires an approved application for this.

Ammunition for air force

We sell ammunition for air weapons in several forms and weight classes and caliber types. Which bullets should I have for airguns?

Pellets

As a rule, we recommend completely normal flat or rounded (domed) pellets for air weapons, as these generally go best in most rifles. You can find 4.5mm pellets by clicking here! Remember that weight and shape play a big role in how the ball performs. There is no conclusion about which bullets go well in which rifles, so here it is just a matter of trying to find the bullet you like best.

BB (Round Bullets)

There is not as much variation between BBs as there is between pellets, but you will find unique BB balls that are, for example, ricochet-free. Here, it's just a matter of trying to find what you like best. Remember safety glasses if you use BB bullets as most are made of steel and can bounce back if they hit something hard.

Caliber

The standard caliber for air force in Norway is 4.5mm. There are no restrictions other than an 18-year age limit for 4.5mm air weapons. You can also buy larger caliber air weapons, but that requires an approved application. You can find more about coarse-caliber weapons and the search process here: Purchase of coarse caliber Air Force.
