Buying a gun, need some fps help

It’s not so obvious on a mobile device browser but you can change the currency to any country you like.  Here it is in NZ dollars….

And also need to add import VAT, duty and fees.


Yup, I spotted that, but blithely assumed that the whole-number GBP figures implied UK. However, it seems that prices in all currencies have the pennies rounded off,  except for USD, where some $99.99 style prices can be found.  That (and the orange tips) actually supports it being US, and a super-duper-mega hard "no", given the whopping duties, postage and import shenanigans for what might turn out to be a bag of rocks.
They'll take your money, big money ?, wherever you are, one example in the drop down currency menu is Australia,  where ironically,  airsoft is still illegal in all states.......imagine the op is an aussie, takes the plunge & orders, after all it must be alright because surely the site wouldn't give me the price in aussie dollars otherwise, only to have it confiscated by customs & gets a big fine in the process, I'm sure realdealairsoft.com will put their hands up & say "soz, our bad, here's your full refund"

Not?

 
The website is located on GoDaddy's Arizona datacenter, which is only offered to customers with a US Domestic zip code - It says it is shopify, but it isn't.

Although the replies here are helpful and thoughtful, I don't quite think OP is understanding the shared sentiment here lol. That essentially you'd be paying 1000+ upfront (import duty, VAT, P&P) on something that would get scraped within a second of customs inspection.

 
Its highly unlikely customs will chrono it.  The main problems are that its stupidly expensive and if there is any problems with it he has no comeback as he will be unable to return it to company in US without getting an import licence (   [SIZE=11pt]16 CFR part 1272 ) [/SIZE] from the US Consumer Product Safety Commission. I know this as I am currently trying to do this having had a package sent back to me by Royal Mail and refused by UPS.

Just do as I have previously said by a decent quality gun from a trusted UK retailer and go from there.

 
Nobody has mentioned that for less of a price, one could build something to the same spec minus the engravings etc. Even more so once you factor in the astronomical import fees op would be hit with.

So your saying technically if he clicked on "buy", he wouldn't get past the delivery screen ???

 
Also, just don't buy a gun with those massive cut-outs in the receiver. They do nothing other than give mud and crap a way inside it.
