Fire Caps to Germany ?

Hello,



sorry for English but I try my best.

My problem is, that I need some firecaps but the internet shop from “Modelguns” is closed due to illness and wwiiguns don´t have firecaps anymore.

Can anyone give me a link where I can buy firecaps?



Thanks in advanced



Kind regards

several places for caps so dont despair and all on this forum, in Japan shazib and francky both excellent guys to deal with and in the UK PFMGUK and modelguncollector again both good people to deal with so your choice all can be PM'd from this forum.

Well its long ago but as i owned modelguns i just ordered firecaps from Schunko KG in Austria.
Just check out if they still got them.

I do not know what current restrictions there may be between the UK & Europe.

As far as i know firecaps are absolutely legal but with the wrong "bossy" custom officer it can take over a year to get them because of the investigation.
In germany gun law regulations there is something about "§...if under 15g its legal".
Under the same restrictions like carnevall child cap guns.So what.

But like i said with the wrong officer you can wait for it a long time.

Joey,

Hi,
I used to send the caps to those folks in the forum, via Post Office package.
However, due to recent hike of concern over aviational terror, our "Land and Transport" minister ordered Post Office to check air package. On top of that, those are x-rayed and once been found as "package contains banned item" (i.e. some liquid, battery, fire work, fire caps....) post office refused ship/air out from the country. I had 3 times of package sent back from Post Office because it contains Caps.

My suggestion is to get the caps from JohnnyV. I myself, no longer send the caps by any means unfortunately unless otherwise via speciallized courrier with proper documentation.

Hello shazhib, so you cannot even get them out of japan?
Interesting!

Sounds to me like the U.S. regulations depending on real gun parts.Even handguards, stocks, grips and so on.
Sometimes they do not allow the companys or people to send them out of the country too.
What can i say just weird!

But because of the caps it can be the same like shipping gas cans.
To risky by air!

Hello Joey!

Fire Caps are legal in Germany, but there is no importer or wholesaler, so they are hard to get. I used to order from Schunko KG (www.softair.at) five years ago too. They sold the box for 10 Euro which was an okay price. However 7 mm and 5 mm caps are out-of-stock now and they say they won't get new ones.

The problem with importing is that they are considered haz mat and not allowed with regular mail couriers.
