Hey,

I read a forum on ASC before about this website, but I didn't know if there reliable or not. So anybody that's purchased anything from there please let me know your experience.

BTW I'm having a problem with my hop-up on my Aftermath Broxa (also know as Cyma CM-041), and I was wondering were I could find a new hop up unit or get a new gun later on?

Thanks,
Geoff

Hey,
Link didn't work for me.

Thanks,
Geoff

They have a bunch of horrible reviews on this very website.

So no.

Thanks
 

I just read through a couple of horror story's on their and I really feel bad for anybody that bought a broken gun.

But then again like any service its always a chance that things don't always go smooth.

Thanks for the help.
Geoff

Personally, I've never had any problems with them, nor has anyone that I know personally. In fact, I've even recommended them to some buddies, and their transactions went fine as well.

I guess it's luck. :P

I wouldn't risk it. The headaches and frustration would cause you a lot of stress. You might have to avalanche them with emails and letters and other forms of contact before they get off their ass and send you the stuff, then the right stuff, then the right stuff but not broken. There are more than enough horror stories, we don't need any more.

are people allergic to getting Age Verified? just do it and buy your guns here instead of risking it

Don't do it
 

These guys need to focus on their demographic: French People. They send emails that have so many grammatical errors, I want to puke but can't because I'm overwhelmed with confusion as to what they're trying to say.

I read horror stories about an hour after making an order and went wide eyed. I immediately sent an email saying I wanted to cancel my order and for them to please reject my paypal payment.

They responded a few days later saying my order was cancelled, and it was...on their system. However, he failed to go on paypal and cancel the transaction, he will probably be receiving my money in the next few days at which point I'm going to open a dispute.

Going to be a huge waste of my time which could've been avoided if the guy had the slightest bit of professionalism (not even remotely). If you do risk your making a purchase from this poor excuse of a retailer, use paypal so if he tries to screw you paypal can get your money back.

Learn the language or sell to people who can speak to you.

Makes me sneeze.

they are way over priced and non reliable


get age verified like i just did

It's mostly minors that are allergic to AV. It's so much easier to go to a 'no questions asked' site with Mom's credit card.

Yep.

The bylaw in Ontario helps...but not much.

Well, some sites are located outside of Ontario, so while their operators might be on here claiming to comply with the 18+ rules, they have no legal obligation to do so if they're outside of Ontario. And a lot of people will toss the 'rules' (even laws at times) out the window when it comes to making a buck.

in regards to Paypal just call their 1-800 number and tell them what happened- sadly it may still take shootShaft reversing the charges to get your $ back but it might be quicker than a dispute

Agreed.

You know, about 2 years ago (I was 17) I thought this stuff was a bullshit law made by a ban-happy government. Now, I'm no fan of Harper, but I would hate to see Canada become like the US in terms of airsoft (I.E. Kids using them and getting shot for being idiots).

Kids aren't responsible enough for this sport. Bottom line.

I would like to see the 18+ law instated country-wide. That way this issue wouldn't exist. Fuck Walmart guns, theyre not as much of an issue. But these sites selling what could be considered replicas shouldn't be selling to kids.

I know its naive of me to expect people to respect the law, but it's there for a reason.

Hey
 

Hey,
Yes, I am a minor, dont take this the wrong way but does that mean I'm not allowed to play a sport?
I understand why the age verification system is used ,to prevent minors from getting full metal guns and taking them to school's public places ect and other reason too . Correct me if Im wrong there.
BTW,If you were wondering, I ordered the aftermath broxa off buyairsoft, the only reason was is because I love playing the sport, and also playing with a group organized that plays every two week's. Theres not much for airsoft in Lunenburg county NS :P

Geoff

Well if you actually play in a private area, and are not in view of ANYONE, and are supervised, and are all mature, and dont EVER bring them out in public, then yes you are allowed to play with your friends.

But not on recognized fields.

And if youre not playing on airsoft fields I dont see the point.

You're not allowed unless the field bumps the age requirement down a bit. If its 18+, You're shit out of luck until then I'm afraid. Bit of a community rule.

Thats esacly what we do haha, I never could see how if the we are very carful us playing could ever be bad, but mistakes do happen and correct me if im wrong people under 18 tend to be (im not speaking for all) less mature and less responsible.

BTW guys thanks for the help on ShootSoft, I really like the community on this website!!:D

Well theres the thing.

If you're going to play, make sure that it is IMPOSSIBLE for a mistake to happen.

Otherwise, don't play until you're 18 and can play at a field. Simple as that.

Glad you like it here.

Respect everyone and you'll like it.

Im new too. =)

Admitting to buying a gun after every thing you have read on here strikes me a little wrong here. Yes you may be mature for your age (they all say it any ways). You may be good with your gear and guns but saying "I never could see how if the we are very carful us playing could ever be bad" is potentially the most ignorant thing Ive read today.

Take a look at the thread about the guys getting into a fight at the field there. Both were Id assume 18+. Yet a weapon was still pulled.

Im sorry if it sounds rude but really there is a reason why the age limit is almost 18+ every where other then a few select places. Using your folks credit card to go around that is throwing the rules back at the community while saying you don't care.

There is a reason why the general answer here is that you go to fields at 16 and learn and watch. I suggest doing that. Go to the fields meet people. Some will let you play at 16. Get experiance. Thats a huge thing. Not comming around a corner and going full auto on some one is a skill alot of people should be learning.

Again sorry if that sounds rude but it does bother me seeing underaged people blatently saying "Im going to get a gun and run around with it any ways." is going to do nothing good for this sport. We hear about it often enough with young teens and others getting arrested for stupidity like this. Im not meaning to be rude but I am saying that there is a very good reason why we say to wait.

Hey,
Im very sorry if I offended you i really didn't mean it like that, The point of me asking is if I should EVER purchase from there. I never said I was mature ether I don't like it when people brag about it. Oh, BTW i dont think you meant this in the way I'm taking it, When you said popping around a corner going full auto.

We try to replicate a MILSIM eviroment. So we try to replicate Military Warfare. Just trying to let you know that =)

Thanks for your help!
Geoffrey

Sorry for not posting this in one post but the reason i used my folks credit card is so i could play the sport that I love to play!! I didn't ever think that thats throwing the rules in the systems face i care very much about the sport and i wouldn't like to see it banned in Canada.

I'm not offended.

That itself is a problem though.

You dont want to look military when youre underage.

Someone sees you, YOURE FUCKED.

And even if someone doesnt see you, it doesnt make it okay.

Well, unfortunately, the reason its on the verge of getting banned is because of kids being stupid.

If you get police called to your house, that drives the ban hammer harder into our sport.

The less airsoft-related incidents there are, the less likely airsoft is to get banned.

The sport is 18+ for a reason, man.

Haha not you man the guy that posted after you i really agree with your guys and i might sound like a hipicrit but sorry.

Don't apologize.

Look, youve already said you wont follow the rules, thats fine, theres not much we can do about it.

However, you better be really fucking sure you wont get into any trouble with it.

If you do, you are compromising our hobby as a whole.

Just realize that not following the 18+ rule will not be looked upon favorably when you want to join the community for real.

OR you could hold off on airsoft until youre of age and spend your time saving your money and learning about the sport; not to mention trying to establish a good reputation here.

I am trying to get a good reputation and I never knew of this site when I bought a gun But when I'm 18 and I wont be allowed to join then I wont play airsoft means a lot to me. I really didn't want you to get the impression that I dont want to follow the rules.

Well then don't buy a gun.

I will wait i just wondered for the future I really didnt mean to get that impression to you.

Oh FFS get the hell out of the tank. Only ONTARIO has a law stating it is 18+!

if your not helping GTFO of the newbie tank nearly all of your post here are wrong or unneeded. He is not breaking the rules here our rules only stop him from buying or selling on THIS SITE. we can not stop anyone from doing so outside of ASC. It is up to his guardians not you.

Thanks for clearing that up =)

even though only Ontario has such a law being underage around here puts a bullseye on you for the trolls. be polite, read a lot, then read some more, try not too "flaunt" that you have a gun and remember not to ask/hint at/or imply to buy or sell around here and they should be kept at bay. keep in mind your guardian/s are legally responsible for your actions with airsoft keep it safe, play safe, and make sure they are around when in use and not in public.

Thank's for your help, Ill deffinly follow your assitance

Yeah, you're right.

Forgot for a second that it was just Ontario.

Sorry about that; however I do think that i generally am helpful, this was just a mistake.

no problem, I may have singled you out here, sorry. but it is a wide spread issue around here that people are treating under 18 members like lower beings. they should be encouraged and "molded" the newbie tank is where that can happen without the constant "get AV'd or nothing" types.

I agree completely.

I mean, I am still somewhat of a noob, in Canada at least.

I'm not even AVed, thats not my issue, its more my disapproval of minors playing in public.

However, that is a personal problem, and I stated it too widely.

I failed to acknowledge that he may actually be a smart minor, so I apologize.

Only in Ontario is 18+? Why is every where here (CT, BassPro, 007, heck even wallmart) all 18+? Its there some other legislation that says 18+? Kinda figured if every where is 18+ to buy that we follow it as well.

Those places have voluntarily kept it 18+.

Store policy.

Makes them look good is all, really.

Ahh. Well atleast they were a doing the good PR thing with the items then.

Personally I do think that it should be 18+ every where here. If a kid wants a gun when he is younger do what my folks and I did. Got me a pellet gun and went out camping alot. It satisfies most plinking urges.
