Wtb: Airsoft

[jakegts]

Hey,

Looking to purchase an AIRSOFT creation.

Interested in either Spring, Gas or Electric.

Would prefer G36, M4 and/or Shotgun. Want extra ammo not just the weapon.

Very keen on metal but other will suffice.

Have cash and not looking to waste time. Will pay for overnight shipping

Please let me know via PM or email with item description and photos ( [email protected] ).

You can own the single and semi-auto versions but still require either an A,B or H firearm license(QLD).

Here the wiki extract:

Airsoft guns are illegal to own or possess without appropriate license or permit in most states of Australia under state and federal law. Each Australian state has slightly different regulations on airsoft replicas. The regulations of some states are as follows:

* New South Wales: All replica or imitation firearms are classified as prohibited firearms and it is illegal for an individual to own or possess one in NSW without the authority of a permit, and permits for prohibited firearms are restricted to people and/or organisations who have a specific purpose, for example Theatrical Armourers. NSW Police Ballistics Unit have classified the Airsoft range as prohibited firearms due to their similar appearance to actual firearms.

* Queensland: Airsoft replicas that have automatic firing and/or similar appearance to prohibited automatic military style assault weapons or machine guns are prohibited to own or posses. Other single shot and semiauto airsoft replicas are classed under License Categories A, B or H.

* South Australia: Airsoft firearms that have a velocity 1 metre from the muzzle of under 180 foot per second are not firearms in South Australia hence not restricted. Airsoft firearms above 180 foot per second 1m from the muzzle are firearms and depending on calibre for long arms will be either an A or B class firearm. Hand guns are H Class.

* Victoria: Airsoft articles are not permitted in Victoria under the Victorian Legislation and Victoria Police will not issue any authorisation for their importation.

Currently single shot spring powered airsoft guns commonly referred to as sniper rifles (that do not replicate automatic weapons) and gas powered hand guns (without automatic function) may be (technically) imported into some Australian states, such as Queensland. To own, possess or import these devices one requires appropriate license/permission from the weapons licensing branch of each state, and to gain such license/permission, one requires a "genuine reason" among other things. Airsoft is not considered a genuine reason because a) there is no such sport and b)no range will permit the use of airsoft guns anyway. So practically there is no way to own, import, possess or use an airsoft gun in Australia.

Airsoft in Australia though practically non existent is being represented by Airsoft Australia, which is attempting to lift or alter the restrictions and bring the sport down under.

I still want one. Cash is king and i just hoping someone needs money and has an Airsoft weapon they dont need or use anymore.

It is to be a present for chrissy i hope.

[squiggles]

so what you want is an illegal trade in firearms?

*knock, knock* i think there might be a federal enforcement agency wanting to have some words with you about that.

i used to have a pistol one years ago good fun they are i always wanted a sniper one to get the people in the back lane of the unit block i lived in lolll

You guys are aware that the quality of most airsofts in Aus arent that good? Mainly because they need to be dissaselbed to be bought into the country...

What sort of coin is someone willing to pay for a plastic pistol sort of glock replica

[happygabby]

I go to the Philippines heaps and airsoft is SUPER BIG there, you can buy airsoft guns in stores EVERYWHERE - painful but SUPER FUN

[Factory 5]

Basically anything can be bought for the right price. I have seen Glock replicas go for $300

But the penalties usually outweigh the fun factor. With any firearm related offence listed on your record it can really stuff you up.

They do get through from overseas dissasembled, then dodgey reassemble. makeing them sometimes unreliable and DANGEROUS

If your really keen GO get a firearm license it's really not that had i've got one and believe me a really Glock 17 is much better to use.
