Airsoft Shop in Ireland

Crave

Is there any walk in off the street shop in the republic? Or any plans for one to open soon?

kdouglas

there is vipershop.co.uk in downpatrick, they opened a shop there a few weeks ago, havent been up to it yet, but a few people who placed online orders got a little messed up around the time when the shop opened, no idea what they are like now

there is also bfsl (ballymount field sports), in dublin, he has a few gas pistols in stock along with gas and bb's, but aeg's have to be ordered in

paul in hrta sells off a few aeg's every now and again, i think he sells some new, but most are ex-rentals which are sold after being rented about 8 times.

I ordered gas from Vipershop during that period and it took over 3 weeks to travel less than 100 miles. No doubt they were under pressure, but I ordered well over a week before their site was changed, got no replies from them, and I won't be ordering again.

I'm spending my €500 on an MP5 and gear from fire-support.

kdouglas

€500? which mp5 you getting? or you just ordering alot of gear?

Voodoomelon

Fair bit of gear too.

It'll be a Classic Army MP5 A2 (full stock), battery, charger, discharger, 3 spare mags, 7000 bbs. They quoted me an incredible £13 for delivery. The whole lot is about €480.

Wow very nice!

kdouglas

damn you! those classic army mp5's are very nice, full metal body on them too. very nice, prefer the mp5 a5 with the retractable stock personally, but still a lovely aeg

Voodoomelon

I absolutely detest the retractable Navy stock, I hate it!

Can't beat the fixed stock, looks fantastic! Also takes a large battery.

The retractable stock is great! I have it on my mp5-a5 and love it:D

kdouglas

true, you get the advantage of having a large battery, but the retractable stock is very handy when you have a 3-point sling on it, you can just fold the stock and throw the aeg behind your back, that way the stock isnt sticking out and hitting off walls/doorways

this thread is getting very off-topic...so anyone making the trip up to vipershop anytime soon? was thinking i might in a few weeks, but need to save some money for the summer, so might not be buying any more toys until sept or so...

moneyman

Whats in vipershop? Do they sell gas and BBs etc.? Any guns for sale yet?

great AEG, but 500euro just a bit over the budget for a sub-machine gun, that price can give u a full metal version of M4, AK105, HK416 DX. :eek:

kdouglas

the full metal mp5's are about £220, so that's approx €330, not bad for a full metal aeg

yeah, true it is good AEG, but my point is on Uncompany is only worth US$ 277 which equal to 205 euro...... plus rest of gears and magz...say 200 euro and 60euro shippin. still add on total less than 500 euro, (205+200+60=465, by the way ''battery, charger, discharger, 3 spare mags, 7000 bbs'' are not worth for 200 euro is that right?).

That's assuming you want an assault rifle. Just because a sub machine gun is smaller in size, doesn't mean it should cost less. I also dont want to get hit with duty.
I'm assembling a full SWAT themed arsenal and gear, including the MP5 A2, a full metal KSC USP .45 from uncompany, and I already have my full SWAT gear, including a SWAT tactical vest, MP5 mag pouches, drop holster and several genuine LAPD SWAT badges.

The MP5 mags are £20 a pop, the battery is £25 and the battery charger and discharger are about £20. Add in the bbs and delivery and its easily €200.

In fact, its cheaper than anywhere else, including uncompany, vipershop, redwolf and wolfarmouries.

You should get the MAG ones E40 for 8 90 round mid-caps than never jam.

Voodoomelon

Aye, I know, but I want the full metal Marui, standard 50 round capacity ones. I like the realism.

lol and here was I thinking I had loads of info about Irish Airsoft Shops. Thanks for the info though guys. May pop over to vipershop to have a look now! Also PredatorCombat sell AEGs, They say they can match any UK price so at least you'll save on the shipping! Retail Section They have also quoted me a cheaper price than firesupport for a CA-8 The classic army's version of the H&K SL9. May decide to buy from them!
