There is definitely no federal law against airsot in China, perhaps it's a provincal thing. In January I was in Changchun (Jilin province) and I saw a few cheap springer airsoft guns at several different stores and when I visited a friend in Shanghai, he had a decent collection of AEGs (mainly CA's)

Where abouts in China is the person you know?

So wait....they can make it but they can't use it?

Even if he sucess to buy a airsoft there, he won't be able to import it in cananda...

I am not right? :???:

Edit : ah, yeah, if he want to import things like mags...

Hi guys,

I'm going to Beijing soon and I would like to know please (a correct answer if possible)
if I can carry in the under luggage cargo an ASG or Airsoft accessories .

Please do not reply if you don't have an accurate answer.

Many thanks

Guns - NO
Pistol frames - NO
Rifle receivers - NO
Silencers - NO

Gear and internals and other parts you can bring back safely without problems.

Relevant info is here:

Specifically this section (copy-pasta):

Note that the magazines with faux bullets in them are technically allowed in (or at least that's what the consensus was in some other thread) but you will likely get hassled a lot if the inspector decides it's illegal. Better yet don't try importing those and taking back "black" magazines instead (by "black" I mean coloured/opaque).

EDIT: As for the suppressors and silencers..... they're in a grey area as well. On one hand they're just tubes of metal but on the other hand you shouldn't have any foam (or other) inside them. As well, trademarks will likely make agents question it.

TRANSLATION FROM NON-AV NOOB TO ENGLISH:

Give me the answer I want to hear or you're an asshole for replying and crushing my dreams.

No point in even responding ..if the guy is heading to Beijing he won't find squat.

There is no rule saying airsoft is banned in china however it is illegal to possess any sort of fire arm including replicas. The places people see only sell gear nothing else, no receivers rail systems etc, even though china produces these they are not allowed to be sold locally and can only be exported all the stores in beijing ive been to sell lots of gear ( vests, BDU, belts, etc.) but not guns the only accessories ive seen are Red dot sights, Sniper scopes, flashlights and lasers.

Hi there ! Could you please give me some addresses in Beijing ?

Many thanks

I dont know exactly where it is but im sure there is a place in either XIDAN shopping center theres a vendor on the top floor at the back that sells Gear, if not XIDAN its one of the big department stores with billions of vendors inside where u get cheap stuff :) You can deff haggle for stuff, i bought a pair of Boots that were going for 300 YUAN for 40 YUAN

Also a tip..... From what I've heard you also need to say that you would like to buy a "dog" if you go into those stores or something. I'm not sure of this but apparently the word for gun and dog are very similar or something like that and they talk about "dogs" in Chinese airsoft forums.

No not really, Dog sounds completely different from the word gun in chinese, nothing to do with each other so yeah dont know what kind of forum your're looking at because the only chinese airsoft forum i know of is Civilian Gunner and its a Hong Kong based one dunno about China tho

thanks for the help and thanks for all too

Yeah.... I'm super whitewashed and I know in Cantonese it's "gau" (phonetic) but I swear that I read that they use the word "dog" as a substitute for gun somewhere.... (then again could have been someone that was shitting me though). Also HKSAR has different rules than the mainland so they can talk about it freely there.

Then again they could just be getting their hands on Robert Goulet......
