Airsoft Equipment Specials / globe product supply wholesale

This is a wholesale place, but they will sell to anyone as long as you have a high enough order. I've read on Airsoft Retreat that they ship from the US (and they have a US address :D), but I'm double verifying this.

They mostly have low end stuff but there are a couple of interesting things. They have the new BE G36K and SL8's as well as the Cyma metal AK that shoots 320.  Minimum order $100, but there is a low order fee of $20 unless you go over $160. I'm mainly interested in an SL8 as well as a tac vest and probably some plastic targets and one of those SPAS shotties.

Anyone else want to go in with me? or maybe we can do a group JT order.

EDIT : their warehouse is the also based out of the US, so the stock has already cleared customs.

I just got it today and just finished watching it. Bloody fantastic!

Did any of you guys make it in it, who and what minutes on the DVD so I can go look :)

My main question is, shat did they do safety wise for all the flaming cars, buildings etc, in case somebody fell into them?

Introduce Yourself! / Late introduction (bloody long)
« on: February 17, 2006, 03:35:23 AM »
Hi all,

Well I've been here a little while now and have been long overdue to introduce myself. Im Australian, but am in Tempe to attend UAT (University of Advancing Technology) as a software engineering student specialising in game programming. This is my last year in the States, depending on whether or not I can get a job afterwards. It's not looking too great at the moment.I'm working my arse off on my own to teach myself all the holes and things that the uni should have better prepared its students for. Between doing that and Airsoft is pretty much all I'm doing nowadays.

I've already gotten a lot of noise of the variety "why the fuck did you bother with that LPEG shit" :) Simple answer, its not just because I'm in an apartment, but because Airsoft is bloody illegal in Australia, along with most of the things that make me... me :P I've pretty much hated it there since I moved there when I was 6 and my goal since 8th grade was to do what I could to get out.  As much as Im dying to invest in some good guns and gear, the reality is that if I do have to move back to Australia I'd have to give up everything I've invested. $108 of disposable fun is enough for me to get a taste if that's the case :) Well there's always Canada LOL.

Ive some minor background in paintball. I was playing semi regularly and was playing constant air when that first debuted. I'd spent something like $300 ish on a gun, which I then had to turn into the Police or get arrested during the "firearms are illegal buyback" period. I got $50 back :P Paintball guns were briefly illegal and then made unillegal or whatever, I'd lost my gun by then :P based on that innuendo/bollocks that they could be modified to shoot real bullets. The difference between the US and Australia is that the people that run the country don't bother to understand anything and act purely on hearsay, not separating technology from its application etc. We have a great history of banning things, including almost banning the internet once :) Don't let it happen here! thats if the 13 y/o kiddies with the springers dont make it happen first.

The way I got into Airsoft was because my girlfriend is always threatening to shoot me with a water gun for just about anything :) A couple of weeks ago I waxed nostalgic about Super Soakers and had a look at what the current scene was. It sucks, all the great guns from early 2000 like the CPS and Monster series have been phased out for kiddy $20 guns. It was always my agenda to pick up PB again once I got a bit settled in here , but never got back into it.  PB honestly always sucked, I wanted milsim but had guns that still looked like they were thrown together with pipes and hoppers etc etc. Messy and shite, I wanted to do milsim with super soakers but with nothing to clean up ROFL. That didn't work out but I did see Airsoft mentioned on some of the Super Soaker sites. According to my gf, I've been chortling and giggling to myself for 2 weeks straight since I discovered Airsoft :)

Ironically I'm the last person you'd expect to be a gun nut. Im more of a martial arts guy, and have no interest in owning a real gun. I especially have a pet peeve for people who do own real guns but basically treat them as toys / penis extensions and shit to be played with and not as a weapon in their mindset. No interest in joining that fraternity. At least with a sword or something you have to actually be involved with some effort to kill somebody. Any idiot can wave a gun, press a button, oops, and be completely disconnected with what they are doing until it's too late.

Well shite, that was long, how's that for an intro? Oh I'm pretty much hooked now :) May not be in AZ for much longer depending, but Im definitely into Airsoft for the long haul :)

She was hiding in the bathroom when I first started shooting it around and the BB's were bouncing everywhere, said it gave her the idea for this :)

Yes yes, because you lot would scream bloody murder about eye protection in the comic she has shooting glasses too ;)

DAYAMN. Full Auto paintball might be a bit much, but Im drooling at the thought of refitting the guns on all those for airsoft and using them as Assault vehicles :D

General Airsoft Discussion / Important newbie question - Where to shoot.
« on: January 25, 2006, 02:17:45 AM »
I'm in Tempe, (close to baseline and hardy) and am looking for a recommendation as to a safe private place to shoot, preferably commonly used so locals and authorities at least know of it as a common "practice range" or whatever. At this point I'm a dabbler, so please help me do this right :)

I've searched quite a bit, "newbie" , "where to shoot", "shooting range". I'm surprised this hasn't popped up, recommending what someone should do after they get their gun (besides safety precautions). I'm not going to be running outside at all until I've checked and confirmed a safe place.Ideally I'd like to test hitting power, safe ranges, accuracy, different strengths of targets (planning on cans and bottles (empty and full), pillows, cardboard etc). A full blown firing range is overkill imo, I'd like to set my own targets and bring my own ammo etc, just need the space.

Its not a matter of waiting for a game or anything, i'd like to know some basics of how to handle my weapon before I even take that step.

Anyhow this is what I've ordered for my newb equipment

http://www.airsoft128.com/xcart/custome ... t=0&page=1 - 10 dollar 100 FPS pistol. Was looking for the weakest gun to practice indoors with that I could still use as a functional sidearm. I'll be sticking with this until I find a place I can shoot outdoors.

http://www.hotspotairsoft.com/hsastore/ ... cts_id/473 - CSI AUG, my true newbie weapon once I find somewhere to practice with it :)
