Rumor is that Airsoft Guns will not anymore be classified as “Real Guns”. Its quite clear why the hobby is targeted by gun control. If you look at the prices and the amount of purchases a year in airsoft, thats a whole lot of mulaa. Next to Hong Kong, AEG prices in the philippines can be equal to that of their Retail Price.
What opportunities does Airsoft provide for the Philippines? Airsoft Tourism, duh.
The Japanese are not allowed metal guns and certain level of “Gun” pimping for their Airsoft. We don’t have that constraint, second we are already a tourist and retirement destination for them. Our lower cost of living and lower costs, can make Military Simulation Tourism possible.
Several Acres of Jungle or Forests, if you look at the mountain provinces, and few trained military personnel and a small security detachment for manpower, marshaling, first aid, “opposing forces” and tourist services would be quite awesome.
It is a job for some entrepreneurial Japanese as well, in their sluggish economy. I think my gun-selling uncle might like the idea and my dad has enough Japanese contacts, I guess. I don’t mind if someone else implements this as long as its giving Filipinos jobs and our plundered government some tax revenue.
I’m surprised there aren’t any Tourism Corporation that are selling shares for settlements to foreigners as a way to let more foreign investment come in and side-step the anti-foreign land ownership laws.
Of course Ideally these tourism groups would use bio-degradable BBs.
Not just japanese, but Chinese, Hong kongers and anyone who wants to try out different terrains and ours particularly. As well go airsoft gun shopping.
Stg44 update. The gunsmith called and he’s happy to report the gun is now fixed. When I first bought it, it was only 410fps when most new models were 450fps. When I had him look it over, I had to pay an additional 700 service, 300 for nozzle, and 600 spring guide. it works fine now.
So in the final Tally
- 2800 German Uniform and Cap. (needs new fitting, the measurements were not properly implemented)
- 550 German Gaiters (Its almost like buying a new pair of boots)
- 300 German Army Tags
- 250 Collar Tabs
- 6800 AGM Stg44
- 700 Service
- 300 Air Nozzle
- 600 Spring guide
- 200 O-ring
12,500 (too much)
MP44 StG44 Internals Review.
- All metal Version II Piston Guide
- 8mm Brass Bushings
- Excellent Quality Steel Gears.
- Poly Piston and Piston Head
- Poly Culinder Head with 0-Ring Seat
- M4/M16 stule plastic
- Type-0 Polished Stainless Steel Cylinder
- M16 Style Trigger and switch Harness.
Typical Concerns:
- O-Ring
- Air Nozzle
- Kind of Grease
- Piston,
- Piston Head,
- Piston
- Spring Guide
For 6800 + 1100 of upgrade parts. At almost 7900, it is Ready to be fitted with a stronger spring and a tight barrel (+750 and +1500) for a total of 10,150 it has VERY good performance to cost ratio.
If you work backwards to see how much it would cost if the internals were just like many of the stock kinds.
- 8mm Bushings Compatibility (a new Gearbox, would cost Php2500)
- 8mm Bushings Php600
- Excellent Quality Steel Gears Php1200??
Added Value of 4300, not counting the service and the running around to get these. If you subract it from the cost of the gun now 7900 thats leaves around 3600. So the base gun costs around 3600. Not bad.
Missing that I Planning to make on my own:
Shoulder Tabs (simple black tabs) (P350)
Canvas Load Bearing A-Straps
StG44 mag pouches x2
Large Belt (made out of a security guard’s belt).
Other future Expenses:
2x other Hi-cap Stg44 mags (@800)
Fiberglass Stahlhelm 2000
