    That was a bit stupid mate. Please don't let that happen again...

    airsoft + public = problems.
    airsoft + consealed area = fun.

    To be honest, you shouldn't have airsoft guns.

    They shoudl be treated like a real firearm and your friends idiotic showing off of the rifle in public was rightly punished by it being removed.

    Children who mess with toys have them taken away.

    yeah but these days yo say anything to kids who dont belong to you the guards can often end up your doorstep,i know the guy doesnt let kids into shop,so i can only guess adults are buying for them.as yu said a person who doesnt know anthing bou guns will always believe its real until proven otherwise.

    Personally, I'm delighted the Gardaí confiscated them. There is no place for irresponsible and reckless use of airsoft devices of any description, especially in such a casual, nonchalant manner as
    got a little to happy showing off his new sniper rifle around the area

    Give up any hope of getting them back and, instead, count yourself lucky one or both of you weren't charged.
