Seth35 SG All along what it was banned...Unless you want to smuggle in one la ! Thailland sells some very cheap air guns...
davidche SG taiwan alos. Very easy to smuggle one. as long as it is prohibited in the other country your r importing from. They only scan the luggages there.
lwflee SG Anyone know in what way it is banned? I have a feeling it is banned because the rifles might be considered to be replicas of real weapons. After all, Paintball guns are not banned. In the UK, the law is that a weapon that is capable of firing something that exceeds a certain amount of energy is illegal. I do not think there is an equivalent law in Singapore but am not sure.
newcomer SG Wrong. Uncontrolled airsoft wasn't banned until few years ago. Some kid got shot in the eye and parents just complained to the authorities and that's it. Mind you airsoft is not illegal in Singapore. There is a club for it and you'll find it if you do a bit of searching. It's very restrictive though so not many people are really keen into it, thus remaining unpopular up till now.
photo_seeker SG Yes, Airsoft is just a controlled item, NOT BANNED. There's club which allows you to play them, but cannot bring them back. It's also not allowed to be brought in mainly it's almost a replica of the actual arms.
newcomer SG Already they are enthusiasts lobbying for airsoft to be kept personally. Don't know the outcome and when though.
Seth35 SG I still remember at Some shopping centre there...They used to sell M4A1 Carbines, Ak-47's, M1911, Pump actions Shotguns, Spaz 12. Just tell the auntie you wanna see the merchandise then she will take out show you... still remember she showed me the AK-47, was 3/ 4 replica size... Can be broken down and kept in a specialised case...
Seth35 SG Went Thailand and saw a Sig 550 Semi Auto Sniper Rifle...Gas Operated... Some guys were playing around with it in some shopping centre...That thing shot through an apple Boy !
