Anything closely resembling a pistol, revolver, rifle, grenade
or any ordance are not allowed into Singapore without a license,
toy or no toy. Customs will be looking at whether the item could be
modified to work as a weapon or not. When in doubt, they'll
ban.
If you're caught trying to smuggle one or more of these items into
Singapore thru your person, luggage, posting to yourself/friend or
any other method, you can expect to be stopped at customs. or a
visit from the Police or at least a request for you to go down to
the station or customs.
Display weapons (antique muskets, samuri swords, etc) like those
sold in some shops here in Singapore are allowed. Please bring
along your IC if you intend to make a purchase.
To join a gun club, you cannot have any criminal record. In
Singapore you've the Singapore Gun Club and the Singapore Rifle
Association. Live rounds are used and you'll be
trained and briefed on all the safety requirements. Expenses
include a one time Joining Fee, Annual Membership Fee, Range Fee,
Weapon Locker Fee and don't forget you've to pay for the bullets
too. Eg. 9mm Parabellum rounds costs 35-45 cents each. You'll use
on average 50 to 100 rounds per session. .45 and rifle rounds will
cost more.
As a registered member of either of the gun clubs you can apply to
import and own a gun in Singapore. Your request will be processed
by CID and the Police Ordance Unit. Be prepared to wait. More fees
will be involved before you even get to see your beloved gun! My
favorite is the Glock 17, the Beretta Model 92 and Colt Double
Eagle. However you are NOT ALLOWED to bring the
gun home. You are required to surrender your weapon to the armoury
before you leave the range.
Airsoft Club and workshops. The Singapore Police treat the import
of these "toys" in the same manner as real weapons. CID and Police
Ordance Unit will be involved. You are required to surrender your
"toy" to the licensed operator before you leave the premises.
Licensed operators are required to show proof that they have a safe
and secure place (eg an approved safe) to transport and store these
"toys". If you possess one illegally, pray your "friends" don't
sabo you when you show off to them. So better not to have one
illegally.
