Store in Galway

05-12-2008 6:23pm#1Has anyone used the small store in galway opposite the PO that sells Airsoft? They have an OK range of weapons, seem to carry everything that's on this site so not sure if they're linked...
http://hobbyairsoft.ie/faq.php
Anyway - anyone got any idea of prices? The website has a mixture of OK and pretty poor prices....wondering if thats reflected in store and if the two are even linked.
Need to pick up a cheap-ish rifle for someone by next weekend and live in Galway, hate the way there's absolutely no middle ground on Irish websites like there is on European ones, it's mostly either a 40 euro shotgun, or a 100 euro plus AEG.
Ideally a 50-55 euro decent springer would have been perfect, but no Irish site sells them (apart from one or two on airguns.ie and the site mentioned above, but the prices seem pretty awful, no point spending 80 euro on a springer when I could get a mp5k for a few euro more)
Checked MainIrishAirsoft (has to be a laser accepting site) and they're out of the MP7 which I would have looked at....0

Cheap + MP7 leads me to believe you were looking at the Galaxy MP7. Let me save you a bit of hassle there by telling you it's infected with a horrible disease called "Gearboxius Destructicus" which kicks in after only a couple of hundred rounds. Avoid like the plague. It'll only make you cry. Even the build quality is shocking.
The reason there's no "middle ground" is because there's nothing in that middle ground worth having, even as a wall hanger. The springer rifles and pistols available on some of the European sites are tat, and when you consider a springer rifle might set you back €60-€70, there just isn't a market for them here where a gas pistol starts at around €70-€80 and an AEG starts at around €90. The middle ground here is considered to be the likes of the MP5k clones as a cheap AEG that is actually useful and looks good.
Actually I was looking at the Well one
I don't think that's necessarily true about Springers - well, maybe with the rip-off prices that those places in Ireland that stock them sell them for! I usually buy a good few springers from cheap sites in Poland, and find them excellent. For example I got a CYMA AK47S Springer, 2KG, for 27 euro - put 1,000+ rounds through it no problem before I sold it on. I would call that worthy of the price paid for it! I agree a lot of springers are rubbish but there's a lot you can get in Germany and Poland in the 30-35 euro price range that are high quality and reliable. I've bought heavyweight AK's, MP5's, AUG's, and so on and never had any problems. At the moment I'm waiting on an ASG full metal MP5 springer that cost 40. I don't skirmish so I like to buy a lot of these guns from aboard just to test them out, see what they're like, etc etc. Obviously if I was buying 10-15 euro Springers, I'd agree with you completely. I've tested a lot of tat 20 euro M4 clones and occassionaly, a crappy 30 euro springer. But in my experience there are plenty of high quality springers available for about 30% the RRP of Clone AEG's.
The more I think about it maybe I'm best off telling the guy that he'll just have to wait until after christmas....I'd be wary of an AEG because it'd be his first and I'd say it'll suffer some serious abuse.0 -

do you have to go tru to get to this??if you have have to ask,just ask.their is a reason why threads die,and if you ask bout something that has been answered before,well some one will post a linky for you to see(old timers on here,or mods).there is no need to go that far back,bud.i dont think the ban hammer will come out for just askin something,unless it hasbeen asked within the last few days.i may be wrongMasada. I say it again. Its better to dig up old threads, and have all the relavent data inone area, than flood the place with the same thing... again and again.
