Explanation of the Weapons and Ammunition Act
General:
In the Netherlands, airsoft weapons fall under the act 'Weapons and Ammunition Act', which means that there are strict conditions for selling or repairing airsoft weapons. These actions may only be performed in the Netherlands by a weapon shop that is in possession of a WWM recognition.
Skirmshop has this recognition since July 2021. We now also offer airsoft weapons and repairs in addition to clothing, upgrades and other supplies.
