My order didn't go through, but I have something that looks like an unexpected charge on my credit card. What happened?

If the info you entered didn't match what your card issuer was attempting to verify, it might have created a pre-authorization hold on your card. That's just a placeholder your card creates when it authorizes a purchase. They "fall off" your card in a couple of days, don't worry! Even if you tried to make the purchase multiple times (and thus have multiple pre-authorizations!) If you're not sure, you can always contact your bank to confirm they're pending pre-authorizations, or drop us a note and we can confirm it too!

Can I change the delivery address after I place an order?

For gift cards, you will need to call your gift card provider to add your billing and shipping address to the card prior to placing an order online.

General FAQ

What is Airsoft? Why Airsoft?

Airsoft is a recreational sport started in the 1970s with games run similar to paintball. Airsoft guns projects 6mm plastic bbs. Airsoft is designed for use in a certified or regulated sporting event or competition, in military or civil defense activities and theatrical productions.

Airsoft guns are NOT bb guns or paintball guns. Airsoft guns do not shoot at dangerous speed and impact like BB guns. Airsoft gained its popularity over paintball because it is more affordable, better looking, more practical, and much cleaner than paintball guns.

Spring, Gas and Electric Airsoft guns?

Spring guns are manual powered Airsoft guns where you fire each round by pulling the bolt into the locking position (like most sniper rifles). They are generally cheaper and meant as collectors' items.

Airsoft gas guns are powered by Co2 cartridge, propane adapter or green gas. They are generally found in the form of pistols where a full size gearbox cannot fit into the frame of the gun.

Airsoft electric Guns (AEGs) are powered in a similar way to a RC car internal, designed for easy troubleshooting, high power and high rate of fire and are the most popular forms of regulated sport event.
