I have noticed that most people are putting their guns together from buying parts and assembling them. I know i sound like a tourist but I just want to walk into a store with a boat load of guns on the wall, try some out and buy one. Where can I do this? I have played Airsoft and paintball back home for a long time. I know good guns from bad. I just like to buy my things all together...why is it so hard to do this is Korea when thousands of people have these guns? Has nobody opened up a store?
Anyway....
If anyone knows a place Please fill me in. I know there are a lot of regulations is the country but.....I know there must be a store out there somewhere!
Cheers.
Will.

There are a lot of online stores in Korea, some of them have walk-in shops also. Many places you have to ask them to see the better guns if you're serious about purchasing since they're not all on display. Your location is a bit far but some of us frequent a few shops in Seoul. There is one shop in Se jeong ri, very close to the subway station called SWAT, www.swatmodel.co.kr . The owner speaks english, check out the website first.
Go to Yongsan station and there is www.buythegun.co.kr its in the ET land building about a 5-10 minute walk from the actual station. apparently there is another shop just outside the building.
Many of us go to PXgun next to Kongkuk university, his shop is more of a custom shop, you'll find less things than other places, but pretty much only higher end stuff. PX isn't big into selling a lot of cheap china-clone goods. PX website doesn't work at the moment, but it's www.pxgun.com He used to be mostly used to sell just VFC, but he's been getting more marui in lately, and even some ICS guns.
www.gunsight.co.kr is from what I've heard a pretty awesome store to walk into, but not such a friendly place. Their inventory is one of the better ones I'e personally seen, usually a bit more expensive but at the same time they've got a good deal going on some things. Personally haven't been there, second hand accounts say its wicked to walk in, but bad experiences.
www.2roy.com is next to Coex, its a cool shop to check out, has a bunch of pantac soft goods. Very cool store to window shop.
www.m4a1.co.kr i heard is cool, still need to find out the location. Heard its in Gangnam, but address on the website said Taejon, but I could've been reading something wrong
Depending on your budget, buying in Korea new can be tough. Occasionally there are some good deals happening here and there. The used market is really a good way to go through people we trust. Good guns, for great prices when they are available. Soft goods aren't available in store anywhere but 2roy.
online people use www.gunday.co.kr and www.gunsuri.co.kr

Solid man, Thats a great start. I really dont mind paying a little more for a full ready to go package. I am just itching to get into this. Most likely will buy something over the winter and then be ready for next summer. Thanks for the reply. Really do appreciate your time.
I mostly use www.gunngun.net
The owner is Kim Min Song and he works from his house in Suwon. He speaks english and his cell number is 010 7239 5878.
His house is 5 minutes walk away from Suwon's long distance bus terminal but he'll post purchases to you if you can't collect.
FYI, I use google translate when I check his website.
