AEG airsoft guns?

whupass

In Ireland all automatic guns are illegal, so under that new gun act will aeg's(being automatic BUT under a joule of energy)be legal or not??????????????????/ :eek:

whupass

Could anybody clear this up for me?

Couldnt tell you mate. Your best bet is to ask a gardai . If they're unsure you might aswell just go up north and buy one anyway. Just dont go out playing rambo and drawing attention to yourself;)

What new act is this?

Thanks

Btw, I'm an airsoft freak. I'm tearing my hair out that its illegal here!

All I can say is I'm working on it lads give me time
but we are looking at sales of rifles in another year or so if airsoft works out in ireland. You need to register an Airsoft gun as if its a real rifle at the moment which makes them very hard to get a hold of legally! Thats why the first rifles we get will all be registered to the company and not to an individual. We are going to get MP5's and Ak47's with folding stock and I've a few M4's and sniper rifles going on order and a large support weapon to for the FSG (fire support group)

They are still seen as sporting equipment which allows us import them in bulk.

Already have one and it just rules! but its close quarter weapon if there ever was one. its perfect for room clearing but since we wont be doing much of that we are sticking with the MP5's with the folding stock and AK47's short barrel not sure if its got a folding stock or not.

And I'm getting an M4 the special forces one for myself

well when you set up an urban area, when ever it is, you should get some.
i'll even pay you extra to keep one away from all the people who won't respect it and will brake it for me

As of the 1st August 2006 the Criminal Justice Act has come into play thus legalising all Airsoft guns with a muzzle power of less than 1J.

This sounds too good to be true.
Sorry for sounding like a prick but do you have anything to back this statement up?

If airsoft weapons are legal here now, who do I talk to to get a couple?

Looking at a couple of handguns (Glock/Sig) and a couple of AK47 or M4's.

If you can put me onto a supplier I would be grateful.

You can order within the EU and not have to worry about being taxed and the shipping is cheaper, but the prices are generally more exspensive for guns.

Some decent EU online stores:

www.airsoftscotland.co.uk
www.campobase.co.uk
www.airsoftarmory.co.uk

Or you can order from HongKong or Japan, the airsoft guns themselves are very competitively priced and they tend to sell alot more of the obscure items available but the customs office often tax the shipments raising the cost overall. Some of the better sites are:

www.wgcshop.com
www.dentrinity.com
www.uncompany.com
www.gunsnguys.com
www.tokyo-model.com.hk

cool thanks

Nice one, thanks

BMAN26

so are you allowed to bring airsoft guns into the country...or can you only order them and have them shipped?

whupass

either they are legally TOYS so you can buy them in spain and put it in your bag. soon you should be able to buy them here (hopefully)

Dave!

I wonder how long before an airsoft shop is opened over here. It'd be great to be able to walk into a shop and come out with an AEG

whupass

ohh yeah!!
