Hi everyone! I'm new to the forum and i just made an account hoping someone could help me. Sorry if it's a stupid question but it's worth asking, because i don't know where else to ask.

I'm looking for cheap knock-off guns, most likely made-in-China, the ones that shoot small yellow BB's and you have to reload each shot. Does anyone know where can i find these in the European Union?
Are there any laws should i know? Should i warn the customs that i'm ordering plastic toys? haha

We used to have these guns around 20 years ago when we were kids, they costed maybe 20€ each, they looked like a real replica in large size, made out of semi-decent plastic. I had a whole arsenal of them and i'd like to buy them again, just for fun and decoration. I don't need real airsoft guns, just plastic toys to keep as collection and shoot some plastic bottles in my yard or something. Quality doesn't matter much, only quantity. Because i want every model out there :D But not paper models (too many paper models on Aliexpress and eBay)

There used to be many shops in my area selling these toys back in the day, especially in the summer season, all the tourist kids loved them and everyone was running around with guns like cowboys :D Many shops would throw away the guns that didn't work, or they would be gifted to us because we were homeboys and they knew us.
Later my parents owned a shop and they sold these guns as well among other toys, you bet i took every malfunctioned gun there was, and we played wars with friends while beatboxing the sounds of gunshots hehe.. I remember i traveled with my parents to another city to buy fresh goods in bulk, and there were Chinese warehouses FULL off these toy guns, probably costed 5€ each when buying in bulk, and was sold for 20-30€

Just in case i'm breaking a rule or something, i don't intend to sell or anything business related, i just want a collection for myself, 1 piece of each model of my favorite guns. I know there are sellers on Alibaba that sell minimum of 1000 pieces but that's not what i'm looking for. Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I think I know the ones you mean.  My son won one at a fair in Spain about 10 years ago.  (It didn't last long of course)

You can get those kinds of things HERE but if you are in the EU it would be a lot cheaper to find a shop in your country.

Many airsoft shops also sell the cheap ones so you'll have to ask around.

Thanks for the reply and the link :)

Unfortunately we don't have those anymore in my country, they stopped selling them, maybe because of some laws. Now i can only find real airsoft guns in my country, minimum 50€ for a small pistol, and 100-200€ and up for rifles. They look like decent quality but i'd like to have around 30-50 different guns so that would cost too much. And i think there are some regulations about real airsoft if i'm not mistaken, but not for toys.

Thanks again, i will look around :)

Yeah 'Gunfire' and 'Taiwangun' are good European retailers
