エアガンですよね

I have a few airsoft guns, mostly the lower end Chinese made ones. My friend almost got arrested on multiple occasions when airsofting, mostly because the neighbours think we're shooting each other with real guns.

OMG lol! I love that the attendant noticed.

My brother has one... actually... not an air gun... BB gun. Little yellow bullets.

My Uncle has some 22s, a 9mm hand gun, an AR-15, and some war guns like the M1 Garand that we shoot occasionally.

Personally I don't have any guns. My brother lets me shoot his AR-15 when I come over though. Actually learned how to use my M-16 that I stand watch with through him. ^_^; Though if the occasion called for it, I think the 9mm would work just fine...

lol attendant has good eye.

i dont own any guns, but always wanted to get an Airsoft P90.

I feel like in the USA, it's easier to get real guns than BB guns.

here in germany we're not allowed to have any air softs anymore (very soon).

still no problem in japan? heard you have quite tight weapon laws too... now? I mean I know they are "toys" but still the germany government is kinda uptight about it.

i wan thm *eyes shining*

I have airsoft versions of the MG-42 and 1911. I also have a real Mossberg 590 for sporting clays.

I love air gun I have 20 !!

Around these parts we're not even allowed to have Paintball guns. We have to be registered to a paintball club and the club has to keep all the guns in a locked safe with security measures. -___-

A couple of my friends have gotten airsofts through customs though (illegally...) but I've never been bothered.

Over here we're not even allowed to have swords unless they have some historical value, in which case they must be blunt. Replicas do not count as having historical value. :(

I want to get an airsoft gun but they were incredibly hard to get. Before, I believe you had to be an authorized firearms dealer before you were allowed to sell replicas of firearms with clear plastic bodies. Now, I believe the law states you are allowed to purchase them anywhere as long as the body is clear plastic. Also, theres a cap on the muzzle velocity. Its slightly easier to get a hold of an airsoft gun but then you face outrageous costs. A cheap Chinese brand airsoft gun will be 2-3 times more expensive than what you normally find online.

S&W 22A, but I never shot an air gun.

I assume it feels a little less than my .22.

Darwin wins again.

I had one before (when i was a kid), however if I want one, its easy to get here, cause they are all made here ^^

Haha, it's funny how the shop attendant noticed it

Ummm... I don't know anything about guns or even air guns, so I have no clue how easy or hard it is to get a gun here in the States. ^^;

Used to have quite a few but had to sell them. Love to get some again one day as I used to play skirmishes and war games with friends in the bush (big games on private land with blessings from the local police)
We have strict gun laws here but it only applies to law abiding citizens :(
Teymur, sorry to hear about your situation in Germany.
I remember an old vid of some kid in the US holding up a gas station with an air gun. Not surprisingly, he was shot by the attendant. Japan is very fortunately to be so safe.

No airguns here and yes indeed I have several real ones at home. I've never been all that interested in airguns but with the insane ammo prices of late I might just have to change my mind.

It's completely illegal to own a firearm in the UK. You're allowed BB guns and stuff like that, but anything that can cause serious harm is banned. Fair enough if you ask me lol!

I own, no airsoft guns.. consider that really kind of silly.. Why own fake guns when real guns work a lot better.

I personally own, seven firearms. Two .38 special pistols, one .22 LR Marlin rifle, One .30-06 model 38 arasaka rifle Sportizied, One Marlin model 336 .30-30, Two shotguns, One Mossberg model 535 12. ga pump, and one Snakecharmer .410 single shot.

But, I'm a hunter, so.. thats basically my reason for owning said guns.. except the pistols. Those are for homestead defense.

I see Dark-Kai3's comment above mine.. About the UK having a total firearm ban. statistics prove that violent crime surged when firearms were banned. Personally I find that to be a horrible thing.. Citizens unable to defend themselves against violent criminals.. and their own government.

my brother owns an arse-nal of airsoft guns. i'm trying to convince him to ditch the toys and go for the real thing instead (It would come in handy for the impending robot, zombie, or commie invasion)

On a related story, I personally know someone who tried to rob a store with an airsoft rifle. He got caught of course and spent 3 years in county jail for that crap. Worst decision of his life ever.

Yep, always had guns, just simple rifles though I don't like pistols. Ruger .22 rim fire rifle and 30/30 Marlin Lever Action Rifle. Last one has some serious kick with winchester rounds. Not the greatest idea in home protection since a shotgun is best but all I got. Need them though people in the rent houses usually all run some criminal operations here and they would gut us if not for these I think.

There's a lot of air soft guns sold around here...just haven't seen a model I like yet...

Never used or owned an airsoft gun...
Though used M16 while in national service and fired real rounds.

I feel that one should be afraid of their own guns. They are so deadly/lethal/destructive if you've seen the real thing. No hollywood style limping after a shot and recovering after a while. The rifle bullets can blow a limb off.

I wonder are people who want to own their own gun prepared to get shot by others in the same way as well. There is no joke and no coolness.

Wanting to own a sci-fi gun or miniature war dorama is fine though.
Wanting to own a real gun... I'm not sure how many really knows what its like to be shot at.

Air soft guns are pretty easy to get around here, they aren't really frowned upon, but they have to have those orange tips at the barrel, or else the police will take you out. XD

I just have a 9mm Sig Sauer.

Air gun? Nah, I have a real Colt Python .357 Magnum, same one used by Ryo Saeba in City Hunter.

There plenty of air gun over here but they cost bomb. Some good air soft can cost more than low end real hand gun.

I actually have a CPL (concealed pistol license), but have yet to purchase a pistol. I really don't seem to have much need for it. I do enjoy shooting, though. If I were to buy, i'd get a Sig Sauer P226 .40

I honestly haven't seen an air gun before, but you can go buy real guns here.

Cant get a decent one here, unless youre getting one from under the table...

Are guns easy to get hold of where I live? Sometimes I wish I could say no. I'm from the US so its pretty obvious how easy it is to get a gun. I own a .22 rifle for hunting, a pellet gun, and an air gun. My friends and I will sometimes drive out into the fields to shoot each other with our air guns every once in a while. I've been wanting to get a paintball gun though.

i have this one airsoft gun that is an xm8 and it is powerful. I let my nephew shoot it and he shot the crap out of my fan and the blades on my fan r messed up with holes and chunks taken off of it and it shatters the plastic bb's on anything it hits i am to afraid to shoot anybody with it cause it shatters the bb's

Students at my school use airguns for target practice ^^/ But yea airguns are easy to get a hold of around here/

There's no way i can pull that off.. :/

"That's a water gun, isn't it.."
-gets sent to hospital 20mins later-

Air guns are easy enough to get along with BB guns...we dont see many violent crimes using them here.

Also once you have a rifle license here its easy enough to get real rifles...pistols require a special license though.

And to get the license you need to be interviewed by a Policeman and if they say no...it means no.

no guns allowed here. only kind we get here is those dart guns that stick darts to the forehead.

^_^

My friends where arrested by police, they were shooting a movie using asg replicas and some smartass called police cuz he thought those were real gunz x.X'

I'm planning to get a G36K+p90 next month and have some ASG summer fun xD

My brother bought a cheap Airsoft long time ago, it was a Desert Eagle replica if I remember correctly. Fun for about 15 minutes =D

Can't say I've seen airguns where I live, but water pistols on the other hand are always fun. Its possible to own a gun in Australia, but you have to give a reason and it can't be self-defense.

unable to get these in australia ..well as far as i know. xd

Truly, those guns are adult toys(not tenga :p)

I used to want to go to the Olympics for shooting... like last year for a month after the Beijing Olympics. ^^;

Parents never let me get a gun, even an air gun though. :/

I do have some BB guns, but i wanted a M4 Carbine air soft gun.
There are so many type of air soft gun,plastic gear,metal gear,bolt powered,spring powered.

1 normal air gun like M4 Carbine can weight up to 3kg

hmm...its illegal now because there's a robbery case (the group were Indonesian if I'm not mistaken) few years ago and an accident happened too some kids shot his friend's eye ended up blind one eye. so its kinda hard to get this.

I wonder whether the shop attendant should be considered brave, errr... unmindful or both? :D

I don't know how easy it is to get your hands on an air gun here since I'm not interested in firearms at all.

We can't even have BB guns in my place. In fact, anything that looks like a *real* gun is considered illegal. Our criminals usually had to resort using swissArmyKnife and Parang. X)

tokyo marui airsoft guns are the best. They look like the real thing.

Airsoft is kind of rare in the united states in general, and it's usually ugly because it's always got that orange paint at the front.

Real guns are easy to obtain in most of the United States. Getting the permits and even the concealed carry permits is a joke. I'm over 21 in Florida, getting that license would only take me like a month, and then I'm legally able to carry a handgun on my person. I don't believe is banning all guns, but gun laws need to be tightened.

that shop attendant's got a good eye. it's either that or the airsoft gun the guy had, looked too much more of a toy than a gun.

I own a Romanian semi-automatic AK clone, the WASR-10, with full-size mags (30 rounds). 7.62x39mm ammo is still fairly cheap around here, so whenever I'm at my house in PA (in NYC, you can't own guns in city limits without some crazy restriction), I do some plinking in my friend's huge plot of land. He's the one with the arsenal though, topped off by his .50 cal rifle. I own a few airsoft guns myself as well, but nothing can beat the real thing. I'm probably going to increase my arsenal if I move out of NYC.

Need one to shoot the cats that comes to poop in our garden about 10 times a day:D

hahahah~ I miss them, used to use them to shot at the birds when I was a kiddo xD

I'm planning to get a H&K USP .45 from Marui.(Misato's gun from EVA) Want it so bad that i want a real one so I can go to firing ranges and shoot it off :D

Organized airsoft is 9001 times more fun than paintball. The only problem is getting people who don't say when they are hit, and the whole organized bit. After playing a bit in the states, I was really disappointed to hear that airsoft is in the grey area of the law/undefined which means no one really knows how legal it is =X

No live firearms here in Australia anymore, they were banned in the 90s.

Can't buy any airsoft weapons around here either. Not even allowed to import them.
Saw many shops selling them in Japan, and really wanted to buy one.

That situation reminds me of news I hear from time to time around here where convenience store clerks actually pull out guns from under the counter and shoot at the ones trying to rob them.

Airsoft is possibly one of the biggest wastes of money I have ever heard of. Buying and then upgrading $500+ guns as well as all the necessary clothing and gear...it's ludicrous.

You used to be able to by really nice replica waterguns here in America, but people kept mistaking them for real guns, so now they paint some part of it neon orange, so people can tell the difference. Sometimes it's just the nozzle of the gun, and sometimes it's the whole thing. It's a shame, really, but I understand why they do it. But that's the reason I've hung on to my old uzi water pistol--it looks just like the real thing, and it's all black like before they started making them fluorescent... :-)

Airsoft guns are pretty nice. A couple of my friends go have wars with them. Personally, I would rather use a good old pellet gun instead. More lethal, better range/firepower, and yet still legal to have/use. Plus I love the feel of the natural wood (at least the one I used to have) in my hands instead of plastic or metal. ^_^ Course...I can't go around shooting my friends with it...but oh well. :P

I live in canada so, Airgun and Fun = Banned XD

I'm always envy at other countries which airsoft is legal & widely available.

While I was still in HK, I spent many hours drooling inside those airsoft shops starring at all the guns~~~~

Talking about airsoft guns, where is our missing gun-otaku: enguyen
http://www.dannychoo.com/home/eng/enguyen/

He has been MIA for 5months.........

trynna get my permit to own firearms. a new hobby for me ^_^

"That's an air gun isn't it?"

ask that in mexico and next second be toast.

Air gun.. Air gun, wow I don't think it'd be easy to get one of those here. Maybe a child's toy pistol with pellets, but an air gun is probably a no.

I have own and have owned various airsoft guns including M4, AWP, P90 etc. Also with some relevancy I have a M4 scaled paintball gun from Ariakon, the SIM-4 with a custom mounted Q-Loader. It is very easy to get airsoft/paintball guns in the region where I live.

I used to live in a projects apartment where I possessed a 9mm for my protection but I never had to use it. I moved to a much better neighborhood and it's now in the possession of my uncle.

I live in Arizona, own quite a few "real" firearms, and have a permit to carry "concealed" I also play paintball (nearly 20 years, and have introduced quite a few of my friends including my son, 22yrs old) into playing. It's a case of having a sense of morals and standards that, unfortunately, very few have these days of the consequences of their actions, or, a moral conscience.

all guns except for paintball and overobvious toy guns are forbidden by law here

I'd prefer being allowed to walk around with a katana...

My friend has some real guns. Pretty fun to shoot them at the range :P AR-15, AK-47, Mosin Nagant to name a few... Bolt action is fun just because it's an old gun :D Don't have any air guns but I think it might be fun to have one even though I have no idea where I would shoot it... Not to mention I'm pretty sure the laws are strict on those too over here since the nice replicas look pretty close to the real thing... speaking of which there was a scare on my campus like last week because someone was walking around with an airsoft rifle for some reason that people thought was a real rifle.

Sometimes real guns are easier to get a hold of here, but then since ammunition is getting so darned expensive, I think people are going to start opting for the imported air guns for shooting... <.<

Air guns are easy to find in M'asia . You just have to know there they are .

Even My lil'bros have them : 2 handguns and a shotgun . We usually use them to scare of Robbers and stuff .

I sometimes play with them too ,Acting all Gangsta >.<

Havn't seen any air guns around myself, but you probably can get them in Australia

I'd kinda figure if someone tried to, to use the local parlance, "Jack You" with a gun in Japan, odds on bet that it would be an Airsoft. I'm correct in understanding there aren't a whole lot of lethal firearms wondering the mean streets of Kanazawa?

Yes, have real guns at my house though they are not mine, belongs to me papa and me bro. Don't know how much my father has but he has a few probably 5 or 6 and my brother only has 2, think my bros were a shotgun and a rifle don't know what type though.

For the sake of piece, weapon should be forbidden.

Ain't that right ?

Air guns are fairly easy to get around here. Canadian Tire sells CO2 pistols and rifles that look fairly realistic, with no orange markings or anything like that. Alas, I haven't seen any assault-rifle replicas.

As for real guns, I've shot a small .22 rifle at my uncle's dog kennel (on a farm), but it's really hard to get a license for a real fire-arm, especially in the city. The licenses only allow you to purchase certain kinds of guns as well. Most people can apply to buy a rifle, but I think only police officers can get licenses to purchase hand-guns.

Doesn't really matter if it's an air gun, I would still like to avoid being hit by one. But that was pretty stupid though.

I own 3 airsoft rifles, I used to play a lot the pasts few years. Popularity is increasing here in France and there are more and more players. Unfortunately, most are bad players who don't say when they're hit. They only want the best score, like they were playing Counter Strike...
Regarding the law, you can own an airsoft gun legaly, as long as you keep it out of reach of people under 18 and you have to carry it an a bag. Airsoft guns are considered toys until their velocity is under 2 joules. More, it becomes an arm.
Airguns are not quite easy to get in France - except the poor plastic spring-powered ones. There are only a few shops with nice but expensive airguns. It's easier and cheaper to get it from an HK dealer.

When I was in middle school there were loads of kids who owned BB guns. I never had one (my parents would never have allowed it) and I never wanted one. I wish parents would be a bit more responsible with letting their kids use them - when my little sister was twelve, some kid shot at her leg with one when she was in a shop. No lasting damage done, but it gave her quite a scare.

Real guns are mostly illegal in the UK - I know somebody who has a license for sporting purposes and owns his own gun, but getting a license is difficult. There are usually quite a few pro-gun Americans criticising our system whenever I see the topic come up on a forum or something, but gun crime is still fairly rare in the UK and in my experience the vast majority of people here are quite happy with the laws on gun control.

i have a rifle at my home,used them to shoot rats.
but i rarely took it out

If you have an airgun here you can still get in trouble.
A friend of mine posted a picture of him with an airgun on a dutch facebook-like site and he was taken to the policestation and was kept there and even had to go through a small trail to declare why he had it and what his intentions were with it.
A bit overexagerated if you ask me.
But I don't see why normal civilians should have real guns either, only causes trouble.. just thinking about a piece of news from 2 months back, in germany where a guy took his father's guns and shot 15 people in his school.

I have a Walther PPK 7.65, and a Russian 9mm para. Walther is from my grandfather from my fathers side, he took it from a German officer in 1942, but the gun was made in 1939. It's slick, lite and small, You can carry it concealed in a pocket with no fuss. When You shoot is sounds like a firecracker. I got it from my grandpa before he died. It is the same model James Bond uses. The Russian one is one of the worlds ugliest weapons and it's from my mothers father, also from the WW2, it is big and heavy but it can go in a motor block with original Russian ammunition. I like Walther better. I also have a rifle, it's Yugoslav M48 (Mauser type) but later production date around 1995 and made like a hunters rifle not army, caliber 7.9. It is VERY precise, especially when you compare it to more popular western brands that cost 10 times more.

Not really a fan of airguns.. I prefer online shooting :D

It's illegal here, but still can get it illegally at some shops. ^^"

LOL pwned! XD

That is a LOT of airsoft guns! Me want some!!! XD

I don't own an airsoft gun but I'm saving money to buy one. Several months ago I joined my university's airsoft club and I really want to join them in their skirmishes using my own gun! But owning one is kinda complicated. One needs to fill some papers and pay some fees before one can actually start buying one. Failure to follow said process will put you to jail.

My father once owned two firearms, both were handguns (I think one was a Norinco 1911). But he sold them some years ago to earn some extra cash. I wished he could have just given it to me T_T

I don't own any firearms yet but I am planning to. Philippines isn't exactly the safest country in the world and it would be a big help if one can protect one's self in a way. Although I'm practicing Karate-do, I'm not very confident when using it. If I recall correctly, a civilian has the right to own one longarm and one pistol (with some limitations in firepower like a civvie can only own a .45 cal or something like that). A military reservist like me (and all military personnel for that matter) has the right to also own only one longarm and one pistol but they don't have any restrictions in terms of caliber. This is from what I've read so far so I'm not really sure if the things I just said are real. I've also heard from people that, if you join a gun club, you can own more firearms.

I have a Walther PPK replica, looks pretty nice, and it's quite heavy, but it's just for collectors, it's not airgun nor BB, you can just remove the cartridge or mount the gun, but when you press the trigger.... just a "click" sound and nothing else. Bought it online in Spain, I'm not sure about legality as it looks very realistic... but well, now I can say I have James Bond's gun ;) I only need now the chicks and the Aston Martin ;)

In Singapore, you can't buy airsoft guns that look like the real ones. Typically, toy-replicas of real guns that are allowed are coloured with bright plastic bits so that no-one will mistake them for real guns.

Firearms are only allowed by private citizens as members of the official gun club/range and you have to lock it up at the club. You can't bring home ammunition nor the weapon back home.

Thus, only the military and police have access to firearms and ammunition.

The ironic thing is since almost all male citizens go through military/police service for 2 years, most of us outgrow playing with toy-guns since we handled real ones during our military/police national service.

Personally, I've handled M16S1 (AR15 with a forward-assist), SAR 21 (Singapore made 5.56mm assault rifle with built-in scope), Ultimax 100 (5.56mm section assault weapon) even basic 7.62mm General Purpose Machine Gun (FN). Done live firing at the range for M16, SAR 21 and Ultimax. Firing is fun but the cleaning and pulling through of your barrel is not and neither is maintaining it.

Probably the main thing I've not handled would be Milan Anti-Tank and mortar rounds during my 2 years and 10 years of annual reserve training.

I've got a Serbian-made clone of the soviet sniper rifle Snayperskaya Vintovka Dragunova- the Zastava M-76. Here in Serbia, you can easily obrain semi-automatic rifles, and semi-automatic shotguns for the hunting needs (when going hunting, you have to limit magazine capacity to 2 cartridges, + 1 in the barrel), but when you go to the firing range, you can remove the limitations and shoot as much as you like. You have to be a member of a hunting society for at least a year before you purchase your first weapon, however, and all the weapons must be registered in the police. It's a lot easier to obtain a pistol, or a revolver, however, since any citizen above the age of 18, and without any criminal record can make a purchase. This weapon must also be registered in the police.

But, to tell you the truth, since the civil war in Bosnia in 90's, every 5th family has either and illegal Kalashnikov, or Scorpion- not that they need it or anything, just because they feel "safe" with an assault rifle on thir hands... Retarded if you ask me.

I'm quite glad that Singapore ban firearms and airsoft guns that resembles real ones. Well, airsfot guns do have its dangers and if they were allowed, I wouldn't be surprised to see students bringing them to school. Considering the teens in my country nowadays, a kid even brought a knife to school just to settle a trivial problem with his classmate.

I guess the criminals in my country mainly rely on weapons like e.g chopper, swiss army knife, kitchen knife,etc. Using melee weapons like these for a crime is just making the job easy for the police, so what for commit the crimes...

understandable that the attendant noticed. I mean your in japan getting a firearm is very difficult. Unless you blackmarket old pistols like the tokarev or the p-38. of course you would need connections, but if I was an attendant in japan and I see a person point at me a shiny desert eagle Id prob say the same thing along with the brand name (because I would probably have one) lol.

In Italy you can play airsoft in the countryside only if you ask the permission to authorities, first. If you have a private zone to play (as us have), you still have to tell the authorities you are playing or you can be charged of "caused alarm" (serious crime here!).

License for gun-holding is different: in you house you can have some guns (pistols) if you declare them to authorities even without a license, but you cannot take them out of your house. If you have an hunting license, you can hold some rifles and you can take them from house-countryside and back but they cannot be ready to fire. Same for a sport gun license (like mine): you can hold a limited number of guns/carbines/rifles and take them from house-shooting range and back but still you need to carry them not ready to fire. It's really difficult to obtain a license to take a gun with you ready to fire, you can have it only in some particular cases of personal defense.

It's pretty easy to get your hands on airsoft guns where I live. I have 5 airsoft guns myself.

Haha, the shop assistant is a smart guy. XDDD

here in australia, theyre banned since they look like real guns
and the only way you can get these is if you got a gun licence

damn it.....if it wasnt so hard to bring air-guns back home with me i would've bought 2

i only have a BB-gun that shoots piss weak plastic pellets that cant even hit a bird at 1 meter, unless by sheer luck

I have a electric CA36 Semi/Full-Automatic (Airgun). 495 rounds a clip, M4 USSOCOM silencer and aimpoint scope... I useually go to Denmark and shoot some friends with it xD
It's not even hard to get a airgun with you when you travel (or you can just send it by airmail :) I had painted the front of my silencer red. Thereby the danish police knows its a toy gun, and not a real one.

My father used to do .22 rifle shooting but with my eyesight I ever got into it (I wouldn't be able to see the target let alone hit it).

He does proper air pistol target shooting now, i.e. not BB or airsoft, and the guns that are used for that are competition grade and do not look like replicas of other firearms.

While it's not exactly legal, the frequent smuggling activities that occurred in Malaysia makes airsoft guns readily available. It does seem like quite a number of people I met have possess an airsoft gun of some sort, usually a spring-powered airsoft pistol or Low Powered Electric Gun (LPEG).

I don't think you can get one here...unless you have a license...

i had some electric airsoft weapons when i was a kid, then a air rifle that fired a flat/pointed metal projectile with a scope mounted on top. but after i turned 18 and got my hunting license, my uncle got me a Ruger M77 Hawkeye/Tactical sniper rifle with a all weather scope (will be getting different one since its a bit damaged) and i simply love it!

getting a electric airsoft weapons in my country is easy. you can even go to San Marino, Italy and bring it over the border (they have one of the largest inventory's in Europe). but a real gun/rifle you have to either be a politician and just say your life is in danger, are a soldier, police officer, a hunter *you have to get a hunting license*, or prove to the police that your life is in danger and you need a gun to protect your self, or belong to a Marksman's club. but even all this takes up to 6 months or even a year to get all the paper work through.

Here in the UK you used to be able to buy Airsoft guns no problem but then a year or so ago, because of several high-profile incidents in the media involving people threatening people with air guns, the government passed a new law & now you can only buy one if you're a member of a recognised airsoft/paintball club.

Air Guns are a gray area here.
You can own them but it's illegal to have them with you in public.

I've been meaning to get an air gun for a while now I keep seeing them at conventions but I never buy any but if I see a airsoft walther P-38 its an insta-buy

Awesome attendant. Keeping his cool even in that situation.

to all those with guns, remind me to never offend you guys... ^^

airsoft gun robbery fail~ lol

lol. Reminds me of an article I read yesterday about another robbery repelling case at a Croatian bakery. Not much to do with airsoft guns, but amusing nonetheless. Everything needs a bit of Chuck Norris!

http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,25438298-5012895,00.html

Airsoft is not really a huge business in my neck of the woods but I can get air rifles(pellet/bb guns) about anywhere. I personally have an ICS MP5 A4 that is full metal(made in Taiwan). I LOVE airsoft and I am a big fan of Tokyo Marui airsoft guns(about the best in the business). Here in the US though, you are required to have an orange tip on your airsoft guns but I have seen some that like to scratch/remove the paint from their barrels(really illegal in the US). I also own 2 air rifles that I shoot in my backyard. I also shoot my father's real .40 cal Sig Sauer P226 and FNP 45; thoose are a lot of fun to shoot and IMO that I am a pretty good shot with those pistols;P As far as the story, it doesn't surprise me seeing how firearms are illegal in Japan and it would be really hard to get a real pistol there. I hate it when people do stuff like this because it makes law makers want to put heavier regulations on things that I like to collect. By the way Danny/everyone, does Japan have any airsoft playing fields/places?

Japan have variety of choice..
but in my place there is limited of choice..
actually not in my place..
i have to go to Thailand to buy it..
Malaysia i think doesn't sell this kind of toy..
its to dangerous

Here in México we are allowed to have (with a written permission) a .22

Here are people who sells airguns but you dont see many in the streets, mainly because of the rampant insecurity. I think if anyone plays in the street with an airgun is in risk of have a real shoot by a real gun (many, many bad and crazy people are on the loose).

Sad but true: Mexico is one of the most danger countries to live, due our corrupt government.

I owned three, and that was when I was 12.

On one hand, its good that they didnt get robbed. But on the other hand, maybe this is a sign that people aren't taking robberies seriously anymore. After all, more and more armed robbers are using fake guns.

I have a .22cal Walther P22 and a .50cal Smith and Wesson 500 PC Magnum. Purely recreational. I have a hard time killing a spider, as my wife will attest :)

Here in Texas it's like standard for every household to have a gun. There's a lot of people here who hunt as a hobby. Have to go to training & be licensed to carry conceled handgun.

its used to be quite easy to buy one of this in the old time in my home years ago, but nowadays it seems they didnt have a good quality one, the older one maybe made from hardened plastic and i have one thats made from iron... the newer version however, everything is made from plastic and quite obvious... i want to have few of these actually... i like guns

yeah that has happened a lot of times here, too. that's why the local government is starting to crack down on these airsoft dealers.

also, steps are being made to totally legalize airsoft here, including stamping serial numbers, gun registration, and painting the muzzles orange, which totally craps out the realism factor.

IMHO, it's the recent explosion of cheap china-made guns that is to blame.

my friend put it this way... before, airsoft was like golf, where only those responsible (and wealthy) enough have access...

now, it's like street basketball, where any regular joe can buy and lug around these "toys"

Was once plugged in the be-hind with an air gun -_- . Those things can really hurt.

well...i have a MP5A1 frm CYMA.
The gears alrd worn out.

I wish i can get a full-metal beretta m92f gas blow back.
Saw one in thailand last year but theres no way i can brought it back. ^^"

LOL
Shop attendant has good eyes...

Always wanted an air soft sniper rifle. We gots huge rats running around my area at night.

The only way for me to get Air Gun is from Japan only. ^^;;

LOL
They call that attempted robbery? That's a pretty lame attempt.

they're pretty easy to get but, they don't look like real guns.

Never seen any for sale in the UK, been to a farmer shop and seen shotguns though.

Not too smart. Or actually, the shop attendant is too smart. ^^;

I myself own a gun, but nothing other than your hunting rifles.

Airsoft guns are pretty easy to get, especially if you get it online. That's kind of sad if you try to rob someone with an airsoft gun and they figure out that it isn't a real gun.

Air guns are easy to get here. Not a big fan of them myself. Real guns are way too easily accessible too.

all i have to do to get an air gun near me is walk down the street.

They are easy to get here; you just order them from a Belgian or German site and get them delivered to your front door. They don't check at the borders... ^^; But they are illegal in my country though... :(

I actually haven't seen one in any stores here...although when we went to Italy, they were everywhere. strange because I looked it up and they are legal here but I guess not many are into it over here.

i suddenly now want an airsoft gun heh heh heh.......

There was an actual incident here about some kid shooting people at a bust stop with an airgun. A bus driver tried to stop him but got bear sprayed instead. The police arrested him a couple of hours later.

low price?must have!!!

Here in the UK it is much easier to buy a real air gun (shooting lead bullets) than an airsoft weapon.

To buy an airgun you just have to be over 17 years old and give your name and address when you buy it. Over a certain power level, you need a firearms certificate.

To buy an airsoft, you have to join a registered club and be a member for three months, then you get a certificate and you can buy a gun. However, all the airsoft guns have to be painted unrealistic colours like pink or yellow.

I've got an airsoft pistol bought before the law was changed, and a real air pistol bought last year.

Man!, i might be convicted of 3rd-degree murder!

I do have a real one used for hunting

That shop attendant is really something good job to him lol

Did anyone else hear about the guy in Nagoya that made a replica air gun/water gun of Yoko's Rifle?

Rifles, handguns, smg...
No snippies?

I've had a BB gun back when I was a kid, did some paintball, picked up a newer BB gun, and have a spring loaded gun that shoots little plastic BB like balls which I needed for a table top RPG game. But nothing overly lethal.

I do want to pick up a Sig Sauer P232 SL some day, the same weapon Triela from Gunslinger Girl uses.

Airsoft great even more now since i got my tokyo mauri famas F1 and W.E 1911.
And for the record the armed defenders (SWAT) do have a habit of turning up you a DUMB ENOUGH to have a game in the middle of public eye!!! as some numb skulls in south Auckland found out the hard way a few months ago

its actually airsoft not airgun. i got one too a cheap acm and a rusty co2 airgun
here in philippines the our law is very strict about this toys one should register/license this and have a permit to transport or else goodbye 5k+ toy lol

I've never used a gun, or even touched one. For me, the idea of using one is slightly scary, I couldn't use it on someone.

MY friend has tree AK 47s and about 20 pistols all real

I wouldn't mind owning an air gun; unfortunately the area I live in makes that prospect a tad problematic.
