First, if that is not legal where you live, know that you may go to jail. Second, your chances of buying a stolen gun are higher than buying a gun from a licensed dealer. That means you encourage people to break into other peoples houses and steal- and, if you get caught with a stolen gun, you may go to jail. Finally, if there is a problem with the condition of the gun, it is very hard to return it to someone you bought it from "on the street".

Isn't that about the same if you buy anything "off the street"? Your chances of buying a stolen TV or vacuum cleaner are greater than if you buy it from a reputable dealer. That only encourages the dealer to overcharge you, but it is easier to return, if he will let you.

Unfortunately, it is my opinion that it is better to explain to a judge why you inadvertently ended up with a "hot" gun, than to GOD why you didn't have a gun at all.

How do you fix your airsoft gun?

Ahh figure out what the problem part is than figure out how to take the gun apart and put it back together from YouTube, an airsoft forum, or from an airsoft website. Than buy the replacement part and put it in the gun. If the gun was bought for under $100 than you would be better off buying a new gun instead.


Can you register a gun off the streets?

no you can not. buying a firearm off the street means that the gun is illegally seized or bought. due to this, serial numbers are scratched off by the seller (so it can not be traced) which makes registering a firearm impossible. in addition, any attempt to register a firearm without its serial number will cause you to do a lot of explaining to authorities. Is it the term "off the street" that bothers you? The term "private sale" is more "politically correct". A private sale is legal in most places. If you feel driven to "register" your legal, newly purchased firearm, if it is indeed not stolen, or reported lost by the last owner, there is no reason you cannot register it. Of course, if the serial number is eradicated, the firearm is no longer legal. But why would you want to?
