Airsoft / bb guns

**lowndsy** · 14-12-04

Expanding on the paintballing question I asked a while back, does anyone know merchants who do airsoft / bb guns? The "professional" ones though - not the £1.99 ones a lot of toy stores sell. I'm doing some sites for a group of university airsoft/paintball clubs and they'd like to raise some pocket money from their members - running a uni club is expensive. I'm especially interested if anyone knows dropshippers who do that sort of thing - the discount would be worth it to a club buying a grands worth of kit in one go.

Cheers,
Steve

IIRC one of the original BoysStuff founders used to represent England/UK at rifle shooting and they're one of the few gadget sites to still offer bb guns so take a look at their selection.

Special Reserve sell some - but I don't know how powerful they are, they are with DGM.

That's wonderful Mibut. Almost negates the need for a dropshipper. Those airsoft things don't half sting - I turned up to talk about it and got shot - ouch!

Think you might have a problem finding a dropshipper because of the laws relating to selling guns.

These guys do it for paintballing and airsoft, and I've got a couple of others but they are more the cheapo ones. It is a slight problem but not too bad for airsoft weapons because they are limited in power - I think it's under 2 joules. They are actually classed as toys which is a bit scary when you think about it.

It clearly states that anyone ordering from the gun section must be over 18.
If you sell to someone who isn't..................................

Yup, but they are prepared to dropship it, and my client is a group of university teams - they're all over 18 (the actual law says 17). The stores will probably be password protected anyway, and one of the club presidents will be responsible party so there's no risk to me... besides, they get the dropship income (and risk) for the big stuff like guns and I get the affiliate income for consumables (pellets, gas) - sounds good to me! We're only listing stuff with manufacturers warranties so returns shouldn't be too much of an issue.
