Have any Aussies tested how strongly customs actually enforce the airsoft gun "ban"?
What do you think the chances are that they would actually confiscate a single, multi-coloured, low velocity (under 200fps) generically-shaped "pistol" not modeled after a real firearm, purchased off of AliExpress or elsewhere?

And international readers, please don't reply that we're a nation of cucks; we already know that!

Through regular post, doubtful it will make it through. They screen mail hard.

Take a trip to Thailand and buy it there. Then fly home and keep it in your checked luggage. You might get lucky.

I haven't tested the airsoft ban, but I did order a set of foam nunchuks off ebay for a kids ninja turtle themed birthday party, and had them seized as they were considered a "dangerous weapon".

That only left me about 5 bucks out of pocket, but my solution was to make a set myself out of wood and metal chain. Great work customs - in preventing me from receiving a foam childs toy under the guise of safety, I was forced to make an actual dangerous weapon.

If they're seizing childrens toys, I wouldn't fancy your chances of importing anything decent, but its your money to gamble with I guess.

Can you just order the parts and assemble it yourself?

All I know is that Aussie customs will stripsearch a Chinese man with sniffer dogs barking at him for bringing dried seaweed into the country

They don't fuck around

When the Ninja Turtles cartoon first aired here (late 80s) I was about 9 or 10. I made myself a set of nunchucks out of wood and chain. My mate made a staff like Donatello out of a rake handle with twine wrapped and glued in the middle, and another mate made a pair of sais, (I forget how it was 30 years ago) but they were scrap metal and wood.

We took them to school to show each other. Teachers were not impressed and confiscated them until the end of the day when they gave them back for us to take home on the bus (just like my "too realistic" home made replica rifle I mentioned ages ago in another thread)
These days we'd have made the national news.

OP, airsoft guns are classified as firearms in New South Wales and are definitely prohibited in other states as well.

People have been slapped with criminal charges for importing and keeping them: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-09-25/gu...nt/6804908

You should keep this off the forum completely.
