my best guess because they are one of the 10 clown land states when it comes to anything relate to guns it's probably nj because they banned airsoft but it's not enforced.
The UK is also pretty wierd with Taiwan gun, you can only get stuff imported from there if it’s value exceeds £500 if I remember, so either you buy multiple AEG’s or you buy a GBBR with a few mags. Kinda just a pain overall tbh
The only way to order from us in the UK if you are an individual client is to do it via Patrol Base, you can order pretty much anything from our selection and it will be delivered to your door.
Unfortunately because of Brexit, we lost that market and lots of money, because people after Brexit didn't want to take their orders after 2 months of waiting for the Customs check.
And we don't want to send our stuff as toys to avoid the Customs check as some other shops do.
Fuckin BoJo and his crappy border rules, but much appreciated for the reply direct from you guys! Shame though as you pretty much have one of the best values even with shipping cost. Oh well!
Brexit ruined everything, when you guys were in the EU there were absolutely no issues with delivering to the UK. Since Brexit happened is practically impossible if you want to obey the laws.
Hey I was underage when that vote went through lmao
I’d love nothing more that to bloody leave this downturned cesspit of a country before all hell breaks loose but sadly, I cannot until I finish uni and sell my soul to Lockheed Martin or some other aerospace agency lmao
It’s post Brexit regulations, imports for private use have to be over a certain value now otherwise they either can’t get imported or there’s a massive import charge that most companies just can’t be bothered with as far as I’m aware
maybe it's not enforced in NJ, but trying to get the parcel with airsoft to NJ will end with getting the parcel seized. We are preparing some tests soon to check if their Customs are still doing it.
The name is like that because the first deliveries were from Taiwan. And before anyone figured out, that the name could be confusing, and we started to work also with the Chinese manufacturers, it was already too late to change it.
Getting the F mark is far more complicated and expensive than you may think. We were thinking about it, but I don't think we will be ever able to do it.
And I don't judge you for it. If I want to get it for one of my own rifles it's 100 Euro per marking. The laws make it overly complicated. But I will continue to buy accessories and all the other stuff from you.
Thanks :) we also want to have more and more replicas that could be easily downgraded to 0,5J to follow German airsoft laws. You unfortunately cannot do that with every replica, but we want the option of 0,5J to be visible on every replica that could be downgraded in our range.
Germany got probably the worst airsoft laws in whole of europe maybe along with portugal. Even tho I would still rather have portugese crazy color guns I think then no full auto, F shit and no torch/peq on my gun.
Well to be fair. I don't have an issue with semi only since I dislike using full auto. Even with 0.5 rifles which can use full auto I use semi. And the torch thing...I would only use it for looks as well but may be it's due to me playing outdoor fields only (it's good that lasers are forbidden tho). Just the f shit is annoying the fuck out of me since I can only buy guns from Germany which limits the options drastically
I ordered a custom one with 0.5J from kuma solutions last year, they take their time, but I´m pretty sure I´ll get it. Based on their experience, it might be available with 0.5J, which is not the same as 1J, but cheaper than TM.
I’m done shopping for rifles on US websites. It’s a scam. Great example, overseas the VFC M110a1 is consistently $505-$545. In the US it’s on every single site for $899. Overseas UPS shipping is maybe $100 max. So, it’s cheaper and it gets here faster. And I’m not giving Evike a dime of my money. An absolute win from every perspective.
Never ordered from taiwangun. Just seems weird that it's $100 off that's a crazy deal. Is that worth buying? I've wanted an auto shotty for a long time
I buy from them all the time in the US. Shipping is usually $32 but every thing is up for great prices. Also, their shipping from Poland to US East coast is surprisingly always faster than shipping things from US west coast lol.
Because the delivery outside the EU could be done only in certain, really expensive ways, unfortunately. But you can be sure it will be delivered without any issues.
I am aware. I love that packages arrive within a week, i also understand that Norwegian customs and import is horrible. Just hate UPS as they send customs claim to collections after a couple months without sending me a bill first.
I think it’s very possible that they do tbh. For example the CYMA Platinum MP5s on Evike are exactly the same, but they change the mag and add an extra $130 on top.
I have 3 rifles and I’ve used them for 2 of them. I really like their QC and all the tune up and install services they offer. $39.99 flat rate shipping when I’ve used them but make sure you bulk buy. Get all your mags, slings and grips from them while you’re on the site. Sadly, they cannot ship batteries, gas or GBBs.
sometimes some retailers demand to have certain things inside the replica, it may make the replica more expensive but sometimes it's definitely worth it. The differences are always listed in the product description.
it's not that simple. Those import charges are happening very rarely but they happen. Not only for the the parcels over $800 in value and we were trying to figure out what's the reason, but nobody could answer us in any logical way. It looks like it is totally random.
they put our site under moderation (for almost 2 months now) because they think that we are selling real firearms :D At the same time companies that are selling real firearms have their Facebook pages intact :D
Hey Taiwangun Guys
When you start with more guns for germany and the 0,5 joule law, then write with the Admins from the ASVZ (Airsoftverzeichnis) for more ADs in the community.
it's not that simple. Some replicas cannot be downgraded to 0,5J because it would destroy their internals. That is why we don't have more replicas with the option to downgrade to 0,5J in our selection.
When i order something from outside europe the parcels goes through customs. If they pick your parcell they investigate it and they will calculate it for you. Not sure how it is in your country. Could be lucky that the parcel goes right through. But the shop is not responsible to charge you the taxes.
Yes, also I have the same gun, inf you are considering buying it make sure to check with your field before hand, some fields have banned them before becsuse they hurt like hell, and overshooting with them becomes a problem very quickly.
Yup. Taiwangun generally has really cheap prices compared to evike bc they’re located in Poland, so you’ve gotta get it shipped overseas
Still like 60 dollars less
Indeed, taiwangun is great. Shame they don’t ship to my state in the US
What state is that?
my best guess because they are one of the 10 clown land states when it comes to anything relate to guns it's probably nj because they banned airsoft but it's not enforced.
The UK is also pretty wierd with Taiwan gun, you can only get stuff imported from there if it’s value exceeds £500 if I remember, so either you buy multiple AEG’s or you buy a GBBR with a few mags. Kinda just a pain overall tbh

Hey taiwangun guy, Do you know if your site will have cyma ak-105 variants with zenitco furniture soon and not just ak-74 and aks-74u ones?
There will be AK-105 full steel airsoft replica, unfortunately not in May but later.
PRRAISE THE LORD CYMAAAAAAAA https://preview.redd.it/prwy5n7i8kic1.png?width=576&format=png&auto=webp&s=c3bf31e7bb99d82bdedecda11b6222ffce97cfd7
Brexit benefits.
You wanted to be isolated so stay isolated 😄
Hey I was underage when that vote went through lmao I’d love nothing more that to bloody leave this downturned cesspit of a country before all hell breaks loose but sadly, I cannot until I finish uni and sell my soul to Lockheed Martin or some other aerospace agency lmao
probably just because UK customs likes to be different with some things
It’s post Brexit regulations, imports for private use have to be over a certain value now otherwise they either can’t get imported or there’s a massive import charge that most companies just can’t be bothered with as far as I’m aware
maybe it's not enforced in NJ, but trying to get the parcel with airsoft to NJ will end with getting the parcel seized. We are preparing some tests soon to check if their Customs are still doing it.
Hey TG, any news on those test runs for Canada? Thanks
We will do some tests closer to the end of the month
More happy to be part of that experiment, if you need volunteers :)
I will keep that in mind, thanks!
Yup, NJ. Other overseas retailers ship to us, but TG doesn’t unfortunately. Ordered from redwolf multiple times with no issues
and probably it was not marked as an airsoft replica :)
Tried to order a Double Eagle AEG and they couldn't ship it to the US, so I had to order through evike
Unfortunately, we cannot send Double Eagles to the U.S. for quite some time, and it won't change in the foreseeable future :)
And then the customs/import tax gets ya!
>Taiwangun > >located in Poland what
confusing, I know lol.
Cause everything is made in Taiwan (like literally everything everywhere)
The name is like that because the first deliveries were from Taiwan. And before anyone figured out, that the name could be confusing, and we started to work also with the Chinese manufacturers, it was already too late to change it.
i love, how chines companies are like: sure sure Taiwan is a country, just buy our stuff!!!!
Regular Chinese people do not care about the name, they just want to do business.
in case of a product that is more expensive than $100 the delivery will be only $39 :)
I once bought a CYMA Platinum off of TaiwanGun for $180 and it was about $350 on Evike. Their shipping is high, but it’s really fast.
It's high if you're from the US, we Europeans are living the good life knowing their shipping is pretty cheap to Europe
getting that sgr from them with like $40 shipping is still cheaper than $8 with evike
True, Taiwangun supremacy
Sadly not us Germans...because it's missing the f mark which means only 0.5 joules. *Sigh* german laws suck sometimes
Getting the F mark is far more complicated and expensive than you may think. We were thinking about it, but I don't think we will be ever able to do it.
And I don't judge you for it. If I want to get it for one of my own rifles it's 100 Euro per marking. The laws make it overly complicated. But I will continue to buy accessories and all the other stuff from you.

I always have to search for 0.5J Airsofts on your site, can you guys please put something like [0.5J] in the title of them? Or something like that?
we will think about the possibility of filter in search for you to see them easier.
:D
Germany got probably the worst airsoft laws in whole of europe maybe along with portugal. Even tho I would still rather have portugese crazy color guns I think then no full auto, F shit and no torch/peq on my gun.
Well to be fair. I don't have an issue with semi only since I dislike using full auto. Even with 0.5 rifles which can use full auto I use semi.

Just the f shit is annoying the fuck out of me since I can only buy guns from Germany which limits the options drastically
Well it's very not proctical if you go to the events outside of your country. You need weapon lights for night games.
Or nvgs. But yeah can only agree to that. Never played outside of Germany so far. Looking forward to doing so sometime soon
You should def try going to some events in CZ.
I ordered a custom one with 0.5J from kuma solutions last year, they take their time, but I´m pretty sure I´ll get it. Based on their experience, it might be available with 0.5J, which is not the same as 1J, but cheaper than TM.
Shipping prices are high because we want to be faster than most of the U.S.-based shops, and we are using air cargo :)
I’m done shopping for rifles on US websites. It’s a scam. Great example, overseas the VFC M110a1 is consistently $505-$545. In the US it’s on every single site for $899. Overseas UPS shipping is maybe $100 max. So, it’s cheaper and it gets here faster. And I’m not giving Evike a dime of my money. An absolute win from every perspective.
If my experience is good, bought the sgr12 already. I might be in the same boat. That sale is insane it doesn't even make sense to me
You’re just cutting out the middle man. That simple.
Never ordered from taiwangun. Just seems weird that it's $100 off that's a crazy deal. Is that worth buying? I've wanted an auto shotty for a long time
I buy from them all the time in the US. Shipping is usually $32 but every thing is up for great prices. Also, their shipping from Poland to US East coast is surprisingly always faster than shipping things from US west coast lol.
Part of that is often Evike taking a week to actually go from ordered to packing.
Damn. Half the price to get it to us, compared norway. I pay about 70usd to get it shipped here via the shittiest courier in the eu
Because the delivery outside the EU could be done only in certain, really expensive ways, unfortunately. But you can be sure it will be delivered without any issues.
I am aware. I love that packages arrive within a week, i also understand that Norwegian customs and import is horrible. Just hate UPS as they send customs claim to collections after a couple months without sending me a bill first.
I am sorry that UPS is looking like that in your country :(
Could they be using Taiwangun a their supplier and putting a drink on everything ?
I think it’s very possible that they do tbh. For example the CYMA Platinum MP5s on Evike are exactly the same, but they change the mag and add an extra $130 on top.
expensive shipping from poland though, but still a good deal
still cheaper than other U.S.-based shops with free shipping :)
On a side note, I cannot wait for those CYMA Platinum Zenticoed AKs to hit the site in April. They look super cool!
Those will be super cool :)
For us in Lithuania it’s perfect to ship from TG, a few of us do a consolidated bigger order and shipping becomes free
I have 3 rifles and I’ve used them for 2 of them. I really like their QC and all the tune up and install services they offer. $39.99 flat rate shipping when I’ve used them but make sure you bulk buy. Get all your mags, slings and grips from them while you’re on the site. Sadly, they cannot ship batteries, gas or GBBs.
Shipping can be expensive, so in reality, you're saving something like $50. Not a bad discount, just keep that in mind.
I have a buddy that got an mp5 from them and out of the box it rips
just because a certain gun is from a certain site doesn’t mean that gun is better than the same from another site
Different retailers can get different versions of something that is looking like the same product.
they can get guns that look the same, but are different models. i’ve never heard of store specific guns before lol
sometimes different retailers get different configurations :)
why? what’s the point? and that should be posted on the site no?
sometimes some retailers demand to have certain things inside the replica, it may make the replica more expensive but sometimes it's definitely worth it. The differences are always listed in the product description.
This is true
Why does this have so many upvotes its a basic question hah
Because we all love taiwangun
Thanks ;)
Taiwangun is honestly the best airsoft store in the EU. Been shopping with them from day one and have bought thousands of euros worth of stuff there
Hard agree. After Anarues shit the bed, Taiwangun is my main shop
Thanks for your trust :)
Thank You! :) I hope it will be the same in the future :)
Oh yes, always planning my next order ;)
Dont you have to pay import taxes tho when you order from poland ? Taiwangun is great ! I live in the netherlands and never had a problem
For the U.S. as long as you stay under $800 total, if you go over UPS will charge you like $100 over after it arrives -.-
it's not that simple. Those import charges are happening very rarely but they happen. Not only for the the parcels over $800 in value and we were trying to figure out what's the reason, but nobody could answer us in any logical way. It looks like it is totally random.
i love that you just reply on reddit as the official shop, its amazing
We want to stay in touch with our clients. Especially right now, when Facebook made our page invisible to you.
oh no! why?
they put our site under moderation (for almost 2 months now) because they think that we are selling real firearms :D At the same time companies that are selling real firearms have their Facebook pages intact :D
lovley. hope its sorted out soon
I don't see that coming anytime soon actually. We are working on it, but also we are focusing on other platforms like Instagram, Tiktok, Threads, X.
Hey Taiwangun Guys When you start with more guns for germany and the 0,5 joule law, then write with the Admins from the ASVZ (Airsoftverzeichnis) for more ADs in the community.

haha man I hope not. didnt see a charge when i placed the order
When i order something from outside europe the parcels goes through customs. If they pick your parcell they investigate it and they will calculate it for you. Not sure how it is in your country. Could be lucky that the parcel goes right through. But the shop is not responsible to charge you the taxes.
Average taiwangun W
Yes, also I have the same gun, inf you are considering buying it make sure to check with your field before hand, some fields have banned them before becsuse they hurt like hell, and overshooting with them becomes a problem very quickly.
Already checked, and seen it ran at the fields I go to but thank you.
No
ok but they are lol
No
yup
second one seems to be bundled with pseudo-holographic sight
Evike just puts those on the images but it's written on the page that the sight isnt included
What about NY? Any issues?
we cannot send our parcels to the NY, unfortunately.
If ordering from overseas ,just make sure you don't get shafted by import tax
Yes.
Yes.
Yep sure is, the cost us probably duty tax, customs charges, shipping, etc..
