We encourage people of all ages to play Airsoft, however the youngest players we allow on the field must be 16 years old and hold a current NZ Firearms license.  Underage players must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.  Players over 18 do not need a NZ Firearms license.

You do not need to own Airsoft gear in order to play.  The club has access to high quality hire gear through NZ Airsoft. The hire fee of $30 for the day gets you a hire package consisting of a semi-automatic electric ICS Metal Proline M4 style assault rifle, safety goggles and half face mesh mask.

There is a minimum of 48 hour notice required to book hire gear for club game days.

Buy the gun that best suits your Airsoft style of game play.  As a new Airsoft player, you are probably still learning how you best like to play.  Attend a couple of club games, and have a chat to other Airsoft players about their gear and guns before you commit your finances.

There are great NZ based retailers who sell an excellent range of Airsoft guns and gear.

Be careful of purchasing second hand guns online, unless you are confident you can fix/repair problems if they arise.

If you are planning to import a gun in from overseas, you will require a permit to do so.  Get in contact with your local Arms Officer for further information about how to do this.
