Airsoft shops in beijing china
 

I was wondering if anyone knows of any shops in beijing as i have a family member there now and im hoping to get them to bring me a thing or two.

Um...they can't bring you guns.......well if you plan on getting them to bring anything, make sure it can fit up their arses....LOL

so i guess you really dont like your family if you are going to put them at risk like that unless it's like a belt or something similar....

Get them to bring u some PLA uniforms, those things are cool. Just stay away from guns, fake bullets, recievers, and I'd have to say silencers. Anything that looks like the real thing is a bad idea.

<sigh>

anyone know of any shops?

I thought airsoft, replicas, real steal and BB guns were banned in mainland China... Hong Kong excluded, for the British laws thing...... of sort.

Not sure, but i read that some place on the net as well. Not sure the sorce is good though.

Anyone ever been there...aside from Airsoft..anything worth getting cheep..IE, computer gear ETC?

Airsoft is not banned in China, went there to visit the inlaws/business in January and saw quite a bit of gear. Sorry though I didn't stick around in Beijing very long so I don't know of any stores, in Shanghai and a few other cities I visted the airsoft style stores were in the underground malls. Not sure about the quality, didn't have time to inspect the gear.

<nod>

You still HK? You should read up on HK customs regulations. They may seize your Chinese airsoft replicas for being too plasticy and poor replicas of actual firearms.

If you want stuff WORSE than CYMA and Academy.
God. Their bbs are not even considered 6MM!
Their like a mix and match of 4mm 5mm 6mm and 7mm.
It's retarted.
Plastic barrel too. However, back there in beijing airsoft guns are about $1-20 canadian.
It's dirty cheap...

He's correct the guns are not viewed publicly, you must know people there in order to purchase. Uniforms are no problem, upgrade kits are available to be purchase over the counter but they must know you before you can get any info on the store.

I will be in Beijing for 4 days in June, I was also interested in finding some cheap upgrades and parts.

As it turns out... i have another friend in Honk Kong as well that i chatted with last night. He is willing to get me some gear from there and HK post it to me.

Any ideas on the cost diferance between the HK online retailers and the prices you would get walking into a store? IE, HK website = $100.00 USD for x.... you walk into the store and pay??

no no no no no,

Airsoft IS BAN on china, BAN not eqaul to no body play, I personally know china airsofter and they themselves knows it's a high risk game (illegal)


Back to your question, if possible get your friend to buy it then ship it to you, slightly cheaper (just slightly after the S&H)

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......

hahaha..
even saw some chinese exclusively-used jargons in this thread.

beijing?i know there is a place where there must be tons of airsoft guns,rather than parts.

i suggest u visit there with ur canadian passport!!

here u go!
