How many €€€'s have you waste....invested?

I hear paintball is cheaper, should have taken that up for sure.

A fairly rough tot up on guns, gear, holsters mags etc would come to about €3050 since the Law changed :eek: :eek: [And thats not including bb's or the €1000+ i spend a year to skirmish :eek::eek:].
Ive probably got around 450e back from sales on varies guns[ Ak,mp5,glock and bits] so €2600 is probably a more accurate figure, not including skirmish fees and bb's though


that would include the following
Shotguns; 6mm Mossberg, 8mm Mossberg, Tm m3, DE m1014
Aegs; Aug a3, Mp5k, Custom Shrike lmg, Aug a2, Cyma ak74, Dboys Spr, well mp7s mp5sd6
GBB; 2x hfc m9's, 1911, Ruger Mk1,Taurus 24/7 glock aep
Vsr10

Guns with strike-through have either been sold on or harvested for parts or just broken never to be skirmished :rolleyes:.
Spent about 420e on the Aug a3 alone including internals,mags and externals.


If anyone else is thinking of adding up how much they spent and replying, let you be warned, you might well be shocked and could be better of not knowing :P i know i would have been beter off .

@ Brent, you sure thats all you've spent??

hes got a crack team of accountants on it, give them a chance

the worry is this the worry is that the worry is the recession etc...jez i think the more people talk about and think negatively about these things the more likely they are to happen.


The government is not going to ban airsoft. If they wanted to they would have done so already. That is a fact. Where would they store the items if they did? in a garda station and then what pay for destroying 10's of thousands of airsoft guns. Don't think so somehow. As much as i dislike the government and their policies i know they are not stupid enough to commit suicide in a time when one of the few places making sales are irish owned airsoft companies. The fact that they are consulting with the iaa should give you a major hint as to whats going on.


The government are simply seeing airsoft now as a potential cashcow hence their proposed move to restrict sales to irish owned airsoft companies. The reason is VAT plain and simple. If people buy airsoft equiipment abroad they can avoid tax and thats money the goverment won't see. They are trying to keep people in employment and jobs not on the dole.


So they are looking at it from this perspective and saying if we go down the route of having airsoft sales restricted to irish companies and imports run through them then theres a cash cow of revenue in it for them. Is anyone watching the news? the government are looking left right and center at ways to raise revenue to offset against expenditure cuts. Airsoft represents a nice little cash cow for them and they will not give up this opportunity i.e carry out a ban which would be suicidal for them. No airsoft, no revenue. In fact the more people playing airsoft and buying 'irish' the better for them.

Comon people have a bit of sense and use your noggins....
