Airsoft Gun Distribution

I would suggest to those that have been considering airsoft gun shopping for Christmas to get your orders placed right away while most airsoft types and models are still in stock in U.S. stores. If you are looking for more information on this subject visit the wisconsin airsoft forum

Word on the google net says Chinese airsoft gun manufacturers have recently been forced to shut down most worldwide airsoft gun distribution. Indeed, one U.S. distributor has confirmed this and replied to information requests from airsoft battle zone with the following statement;...
"There has been trouble in China for airsoft. Currently the big factories are closed down by government officials (police, army) and some owners have been arrested. For those in the dark airsoft is illegal in China. Until the investigations are over these factories will be unable to make product (Well, Cyma, Double eagle, AGM, Jin Gong, Galaxy). We are waiting for news but at this time everything is still at a standstill".
For those of you who were left "shell shocked" by this news, there is hope. The upside, this happens rather frequently in mainland China so the airsoft gun ban most likely will not last long. Already we have been notified that Jin Gong Airsoft Guns are being made available for export shipping to the U.S.A. so it looks like the JG airsoft guns will be available for the Christmas 2009 shopping season. The downside, If the other companies are not allowed to export soon then airsoft stores in the U.S. may face depleteing stock levels soon and price increases and shortages will be imminent and persisting through the spring 2010 airsoft game season.

FYI for the veteran players airsoft gun parts are still available at www.airsoftgunrepair.com in good quantity to keep your older airsoft guns tuned up and sharing the welts!
