Can you import semi auto electric guns in new zealand?

[Nematode]

Not really no. They are likely to be seized.

only 1 that you're allowed is the PSG-1 as this is FACTORY SEMI so can not be converted to full auto

[daddio]

The PSG is an awesome weapon - but be prepared to spend $$ to make it accurate. (e.g. another $500).

The rifle is very long too - not easy to run around with it.

However, once tuned they are very nice to wield

If you really want a sniper then I recommend a small sniper VSR or G-Spec rifle.

Good luck.

Hi guys,
New to all of this, including joining forums. Read the previous entries /discussions and seriously considering joining. I watched a couple of youtube NZ airsoft documentaries (which maybe old videos) and saw a number of players with electric semi-autos (m-16,m4's, AKs and what looks like a marui thompson). Just wondering how they got these. I know they're not available in NZ. Is there ANY WAY to get a totally converted semi-auto Electric gun legally into New Zealand, say from hong kong? Like an official notice from the shop that converted it that it's only semi? Or maybe a permit from the NZ police before importing it? Any info much appreciated.

at the current stage you will be very lucky to be able to get in any guns, even when they say semi, chances are they will get seized.

Thanks for the reply, I'll do that. Just thinking it won't be an even field if some players had semi EGs and others cock and shoot types.

TK sorry man but as above posts say PSG-1 is your only hope. You could always guy a sniper or m16 springer etc...these are cheap and go well

Hey Sarge,
Haven't seen an actual PSG-1 but I think it's as tall as me! Haha! I was kinda hoping to do some running and gunning(need the exercise) not so much sniping. Also heard that thing is heavy..

Couple of months ago, I also saw a 2nd hand marui AK semi EG on trademe. Looked in good condition but had a very steep price range..well, for me anyway. $700 NZ. Charles mentioned something about buying second hand ones in Airsoft NZ site, haven't been able to find posts yet. Is this the typical price range?

yes it is, if you're more into the hit and run stuff a pistol or 2 would be more than enough or something like a Marui mp5 springer

used to be but really can't get 2nd hand one's any more as there's just not enough to go around. But as everthings semi only springer's can hold there own. They do pop up on trademe now and then but I wouldn't touch these as you don't know what the internals are like.
