Advice On Collecting Airsoft Replicas

[Rafter Man]

Are these airsoft guns on zillion good quality?

http://www.zillion.co.nz/stores/asgc/

I'm looking at the M4's. Judging by the jargon used here, I still have a lot to learn about airsoft guns. I'd appreciate opinions from experienced players/collectors. Thanks.

[Jamez]

That Cyma AK should be good quality. If I was you and just collecting I would go for real wood and full metal :D

[Amoki]

From a quick glance, most of them are Chinese cheap springers, whereas their selection of SEGs are limited , overpriced, and some may even require a lot of work done on them.

Unless you want to use these as wall-hangers, probably would be better to come to a club game, get yourself introduced, and then get your club armourer to help you import one.

On a side note

Asian in hoodie + gay XM8 = epic fail tbh

[Beowulf]

Looking at them, and who'd of thought it possible, but they make Chinese springers look good.

I think this could be the start of Zimbabwe airsoft clones.

[Rafter Man]

Thanks! They seemed to cheap to be true... I'm still interested in the M4's though but maybe not to game with, just to have. ;) I hope I can meet an armourer soon.

So now I'm looking for electric or gas powered airsoft guns, that may or may not be in the price range on zillion. Look at me mum, I'm learning! :)

[Falcon]

Will touch base with you real soon in the physical Rafterman. Falcs :D ps im the club armourer for AO. :D :D

[Rafter Man]

Awesome mate! Can't wait to meet you. :)

Hi rafter man:

Regarding about our website asgc.zillion.co.nz (might change to airsoft.zillion.co.nz later) The XM8 you saw at zillion is Clone made in china that's why it's cheaper. The purpose of those guns is design for wall hanger or entry level players instead of wargame players. And unfortunately this gun is already out of stock.

We are agency of SRC (made in taiwan),Such as HK416 and other generation 3 guns with very good review that you can Google it. Also all SRC guns are converted into semi-auto by the manufactory rather than the distributor, which means they are more stable as a SEG. And you are welcome to come and view it before you decide. Maybe something more advantage than see through the picture on website and paid couple of hundreds without even touch it. And we guarantee our SRC price is lower than the total cost of WGC and Redwolf.

About China made guns, we must admit there are some guns overprice, because BB guns are prohibited in China even exporting. Therefore exporting BB guns in China become very difficult now and even shipping fees has been increased very much. If China custom found BB guns, they will destroy them and arrest the people who sell or export them. However, I still believe our price is very competitive in NZ. We already send people to China to discuss further about BB guns exporting. Once we can get a solution of exporting, we will also drop the price to benefit more people at least same price as WGC and Redwolf.

By the way, to someone else here: I hope no one is trying to bring racialism joke to this public area. It might bring you and other people into big trouble. Don't forget, most of the guns you play are also made in ASIAN.

Cheers
ASGC

If you don't want to be mocked at lest learn the language properly.
Sorry to sound harsh, but you cannot expect us to not take the piss at your overly priced junk, you are a retailer just trying to make money and have clearly little or no interest in our actual sport.

As for the person who made the comment regarding what you described as "racist" hes actually ASIAN himself.
He was not making reference to the fact the person in the photograph is ASIAN, he was taking the piss at the epic wannabe gangster style picture and what an Epic fail it is.

He must have thought that airsoft is a white-only sport :D

As for the exporting gun part, having done an evaluation trial on sourcing/importing guns from China directly to NZ before, it's safe to say that most of it is wrong with only an ounce of truth to it.

His markups on the springers aren't as bad as the ones on Trademe. Can't say the same on his SEGs however.

[Beowulf]

Given the quality of the guns it's pretty scary that they package them with 'safety' glasses. Likely rated to 100fps with a 0.12g round.

Did you read the rules about advertising ASGC or were they deemed racist too? :rolleyes:

We all know that gun crime is only committed by black people, and even then it's only the small percentage that hold the gun sideways when firing that are actually committing an offence.

[ObsoleteAcey]

if they are the NZ distributor for SRC (which BTW have more or less vanished from most HK shops), I'd be up for a looksee.. especially the new gen XM8, provided it still comes in OD or even Tan. The new one has detachable scope and is the same build material as a CA.

[Amoki]

... ironic to see that Acey thinks Colts are gay but likes XM8. :D

[Beowulf]

Shows he has a sense of humour I guess. Or at least he'd get some laughs playing with it.

[Nematode]

Throwing a lot of stones from that there glasshouse Amoki

:p

[Amoki]

Hey SCAR, ESPECIALLY the Flat Black ones, isn't gay!

[ObsoleteAcey]

XM8s are H&K and thus instantly not gay. No irony there

[Slayer]

XM8=fish=waterpistol :-)

[DUKE]

xm8................lol i thought it simply means "to ban your mate", like divorce

[cqrt]

Rofl :)

[ObsoleteAcey]

laugh it up fellas.. i'll be having the last laugh when i shoot you with it.. like i have slayer many a time

[SolidSnake]

I gotta agree with Acey on this one; I love that XM8.
But then again it's me, of course I'd love an oddball design like the XM8 ^^

[Scubbo]

an XM8 would be ok, though I'd rather a g3a4 or somthing along those lines

[Bane]

i just find it a bit of "History repeating itself" with people bagging the XM8 on its looks.

the original Stoner rifle (AR-10) failed military trials because they said it was "Too Radical" instead voting for the T-44 (M1A/M14) rifle which was more familiar.

Now the AR family is one of the most widely used guns in the world..

People are bagging the XM8 for the look - same as the P90 and SCAR , not for how it works.

Actually the AR-10 was bagged entirely for its look

Hence "Radical"

[Stretch]

Except we're only airsofters and we don't actually decide on the production of real guns,we only bitch and moan about them haha:p

So it doesn't really matter

P90,SCAR,XM8 all suck!:p

Ive heard/read you do the same about germans helmets dude (moan and bitch about there looks and design)......................but.................. ...in your case, in terms of helmets, you maned up and designed your own 100% flawless design that even your great great grandmother would be proud of!! :D
