Review - Shootsoft.ca
I just found this online, and saw a jg 416 for 350 in canada. But im feeling a bit suspicious because it says its a canadian company but its prices are available only in us dollars or euro. I smell something fishy but really would not like it to be.
http://www.shootsoft.ca/store/ |
Poor spelling. Bad sign.
I wouldn't trust them for a second. |
This site seems very fishy to me... I am not sure what to say, other then shennanagans!
But it would be nice if a insanely huge stockpile of legally imported airsoft guns magically appeared, without anybody in the community knowing anything about it... All I know is IF I was going to order anything from that site, I would only pay through paypal ( assuming they are a verified seller who has buyer protection exceeding the cost of my purchase. ) AND my first order would be the cheapest thing on their website... like a hopup rubber, just to see where it's sent from and how professionaly they deal with it. Afterall, getting ripped for a AEG and getting ripped for a 1 gram peice of silicon aren't quite the same. |
your right it does look suspicious. seems to be a few retailers are "popping up" as of late. man it would be nice if they are legit tho... and with good prices
|
Im not touching that one
|
Hmm they have a link to ASC on the site.
I sent off an email to them asking their location, availability of local pickup, and if someone on ASC has dealt with them that can vouch for 'em. We shall see what reply I get. |
because im not going near that one or anyone else on my team until someone vouches for em.
|
There seems to be a lot of the LPEGS there.

Someone call them up.
|
Well Paypal is the payment option. So it's pretty safe to send them money.

I always knew those boy scouts were up to noe good :D

ASC user LaGROS was talking about this site awhile ago. maybe he knows the owner?
EDIT* looks like he is a "shareholder" http://www.airsoftcanada.com/showthread.php?t=49076 |
Its a member of the fourm here, says that he wants to start his own store. he talked to me aftert i posted a link to my web page, seams ok hasent placed an order yet i dont think just working on a page....
this is what i didnt want to happen to "elitesupplies.ca" so i posted it myself.... Falme Flame Flame just becuse you dont know whats going on, he might get it up and running you never know. |
The weird thing is why do they have Euro and US Dollar currency selecter on the bottom right corner?
I got this from the Shipping & Returns link. Here's a copy and paste. Shipping & Returns Shipping Sorry, but we do not ship orders outside of Canada. We are a Canadian based company offering our products and services to Canada only. Due to high demand, we at shootSOFT.ca will do our very best to have all orders shipped out within 48 hours from the time of order and funds being in place. You can expect your parcel to be 3-5 business days in transit before it lands on your doorstep. We can not ship C.O.D. and will only ship orders that are pre-paid through our stores checkout system. Returns Presently, we do not offer any warranty or return policy on our products. ALL SALES ARE FINAL. Although, we do understand that sometimes a manufacturer can ship a product that is defective right out of the box. If you receive one of these defective products, than notify us within 24 hours of receiving your parcel. We will exchange your product free of charge With a little of research. I went to the bottom of that shootsoft.ca, and copied the word, "osCommerce". Typed it in the ASC search and found the "Milsim-Supply Now Open " thread. And nailed down the user. Quote:

Its LeGROS site I belive I talked to him it might not be open now, he is just working on it at the moment he told me its a nice looknig site and I hope that it opens some time in this year so we can all get more airsoft, more places that sell the equipment we need the more people will play and one day we all might beable to have games like "paint-ball" sky ball games etc...
the more the better. Congrats on the site man and keep up the good work. |
well its nothing personal against him, i wish him the best, but until someone vouches for them my team isnt going near it.
|
Part of me hopes its legit, but its kinda like that old pizza. The outcome could be delicious or it could leave you in a small room all night long.
Although those 416's are always tempting. But after owning high quality, it can always be hard to move down a rung on the product ladder. Like said above, nothing till a good word is heard. |
Don't know if anyone noticed, but it's an identical template/base that "buyairsoft.ca" uses. Not to say they're the same at all, I think buyairsoft is based out of somewhere in... *gets box*... Red Deer, Alberta.
Interesting none the less. *shrugs* |
I'm wondering why we can send him money if the store isn't even open yet?

|
Didn't think so honestly, just didn't realize so many other places also used the same template :)

Heh, do you do "Inb4dalock" here? lol
|
OScommerce is a free script for online sales. Its not the best but it gets the job done.
I agree with Drake, having milsim-supply.ca, the CIRA does require a bit more info then just a .com. |

It's registered to Christian Charron out of Quebec. Anyone know him?

He is pretty new player based in the south shore of montreal. He began in late 2007. He is playing mainly with local friends and some lo age clearsoft players.
He did attend few big milsim. Nothing on the site is stock, and before they show valid firearms buisness registrations stay away. They seem to be a lot of new store poping up, that sell Clone AEG. Are they all legit ? i Wonder. |
Hmm... Until I see G&P, I'm not even going to pay attention ;)
|
So when do we know that this store is legit and we can start buying stuff.
|
try it :D
|
Requires additional knowledge >: |
I still think it'd be odd if it were legit to have popped out of thin air without the majority of ASC knowing about it. /end of already said stuff |

Just a reminder, 007 will match any other Canadian retailer on price! Since there has never been any other price to match, it will be interesting to see if he honours the little retail sites prices.

Testing !

Quote:
you bought something? |
HOLD IT! lol found this on their home page:
"Everything on this site have pass the border regulation and All items on this site are conform to Canadian rules and laws of the land." Guns potentially not in Canada? This seems to be the case, so either hes got the proper licensing to operate or hes somehow avoided the legal mumbo jumbo allowing him to make lower prices. Or im totally wrong and he means that all the guns he has in stock are legal to pass over the border and are already here...I dunno someone else make sense of it cuz im a retard. |
I actually emailed if the guns were in Canada and he still has to get back to me. I saw that to. I was one click away from buying kjw M9 but chickened out. I'm going to let someone else test it like No_Way
|
i mean im sure ordering is legit n all but im not so sure hes got his shit in order. so he may not last long like buyairsoft did before they got pwned lol
|
What seller say and is are very different :)
|
Number resolves to a Bell cellphone (not surprised).
Anyone call him yet? I'm thinking to myself, but I don't want to harrass him being the fifth guy this hour to call him. |
Wait and see !
Ordered a ''thing'' right now and got fast service (order,reply, problem, payment) When i'll get my stuff, i'll update. For now, don't try to fear me ! Like he said, the site is not totally fonctional so, just wait a little bit ! :) Edit : Will make a review when completed ! |
Oh please be legit...the amount of JG selection on this website is astounding, and at these prices I'm in love :)

HI all!
Did know there was a thread on shootSOFT, because for sure I will be here to respond sooner!! Almost all of you have sent me question via email, all of you got an answer back, and few got a call at there home! There is in 3 weeks more than 20 guns sold and ship around Canada! I did show up here before, and did not want threads on ASC on are store, because the site is again in beta test!! We also don't have the time to keep are inventory high - We place are command and it already sold before it come here!! Yes there is mist spelling on are web site!! I ask Geoff if he could help me with that!! French is my first language, I'm not a pro when it time to write in English! This is also why I did not announce shootSOFT before! It not also my full time job and it take a lot of time to put in place this kind of store. Right now, like it said on the website, the delay is around 10 open days for the delivery! If the order could not be ship for any reason in that delay we will refund the order automatically and call the customer when we will be ready to ship! Yes the phone number is my personal cell phone!! I’m sure you will understand the fact I have children, and they will not understand your question! OScommerce is a power full script for webstore, that why you retrieve the same template in a lot of store! Icilemonde.com is one of a lot off my website, like scout.qc.ca who is a forum for French animator! No_way was the 3th member from ASC to order from shootSOFT! Is order was ship in less than 48hrs. shootSOFT, will not have high brand AEG like TM, CA or Systema, there other store who are very good in that! We try to have different inventory from them. We also want to make are sale to beginners who don’t want to spend 700$ on a AEG, and for others who would like to have a second or third AEG for a good price! Right now company like Jing Gong make real good clone for the price range! If you have trouble with your order! Did you see how it easy to retrieve my home addresses and phone!! You have it here in this thread more than 3 times!!, As you said before, more there will be store like shootSOFT, better it is for Airsoft! Thank for reading me! Christian |
Well that explains the spelling and grammer...
If you don't mind me asking, who do you guys import with? |
As soon as the domain registration came back as being from Quebec, the spelling and grammar errors should have been pretty obvious to everyone.
I say to give the guy a break here. Let's see how his track record is before we jump on him calling shenanigans here. It's good to see another retailer offering at least decent, very upgradeable starter products at a fair price. It sure beats the clearsoft schlock peddled by buyairsoft.ca and the other sources, and better than the ass-raping that we get from the 2 big retailers on these same starter products. I welcome more competition like this. That being said, with the state of the law on the subject, the longevity of this venture may be fuzzy, but in the meantime, lets just see how it all goes before we jump to conclusions. |
Unfortunately, when it comes to websites, people WILL jump to conclusions based on what they can read/see. Just like I did. I wont apologize for calling it as I could see it. Appearance and the written word is everything when online.
It would be important if you could find a friend to revise your site. That will go a long way to make things better for your business. |
That's why I did not want to show to ASC members shootsoft.ca!
Again TX all of you who PM me and others wrote me encouragement!! Au plaisir!! Christian |

I recently order an JG mp5 Navy full metal from Shootsoft and I'm totally satisfied by the customer service. LeGros is serious in his buisness and I know him personnally (we are playing airsoft together since a lilttle while).
|
I decided to order the JG HK416 from shootsoft.ca so far so good :D. But the paypal system for me hasnt been working for some reason.
|
so the consensus is now that its all good and to order away?
|
Like he said, he can't get a full inventory right but on my side my order was shipped in less than 48 hours.
Got problem with Paypal 2 at first but finally working go on Paypal site on the troubleshooting section. My review will follow when i'll get my stuff. Like LeGros said the site isn't completed yet. Just wait for the real opening ! You'll be be more than happy with the customer service and price. |
The good trouble your giving me is with the inventory!! Just yesterday with this thread I got more order from ASC member than I have with regular command for 2 weeks!
It's will be has 10 open days for the shipping as it write down on the site and it said before! TX again all of you! Christian |
All I hope for you is that you take the criticism, and the reactions, as a test to find out how to make your site better.
|
Dont worry... if not
I should not be here!! I receive so many proposition for help from you guys... I'm impress of ASC members! Tx again all! Christian |
I just have to say, nice selection! Decent prices!

http://www.shootsoft.ca/store/catalo...products_id=68 Anyone own either of these items? I've heard good things about the JG g36, but have never heard of the 'Well' L96 sniper rifle with bipod. Anyone know approx FPS for the L96? |
YouTube - Airsoft Reports Quality Review- WELL L96 Sniper Rifle
and YouTube - WELL L96 Firing Report These videos show the gun being chronied and a detailed review of the rifle. |
Excellent, Thank you.
I have also read the review of the L96 Warrior 1 from the review section, while not the exact same model it seems to be quite similiar. Quote:
|
why does everyone and their mom want to start a airsoft retailer in canada?
|
My guess would be one of 3 things;
1. To make $$$ 2. To bring more airsoft into Canada, thus furthering the range of sport. 3. To see if they can. But really... Mainly # 1. |
Quote:
|
Well there's people who starts a buisness without any knowledge in airsoft imports/selling. Thats not the case here.
I had the chance to hold the L96 in my hands and I can say it's a really decent gun for the prize. Accuracy is pretty good too. |

I don't think enough retailers will pop up to really affect prices all that much, at least in the short term. In order for A&A or 007 to have any incentive to drop their prices, there will have to be more competition offering the same products they are offering.
For the time being, 007 and A&A have only each other as competition. They offer a wide selection of brands and models geared at all levels of players. While I welcome and support LeGros with shootsoft, his current line of products is geared at entry-level players. And when you consider the price of, say, the GBBs, they're not significantly cheaper than A&A. ($275 for a KJ M9 at shootsoft, $283 at A&A). Shootsoft's CYMA AEGs are only on average about $15 cheaper than A&A. That's not enough to really make the market more competitive. But it is enough to give buyers more options and brands, particularly in the low-end, but decent quality starter market, where A&A come up short in terms of selection. A&A seem to sell a lot of the Palco Firepower guns that tend to be really shitty guns that break down easily. Shootsoft carries a decent selection of JG guns, which are of much better quality, and has a better selection than A&A. And Shootsoft also carries DBoys, which A&A doesn't have. From the research I've done, Dboys seems to make damn good starter guns for a good price, including some nice all-metal guns, and those aren't available anywhere else in Canada, at least from online retailers. So having more choice is a good thing, but I doubt that in the short term it will make much of a difference in terms of lowering prices across the board. That would only happen if all retailers were carrying the same lines of products or many more retailers popped up offering products that the others carried at cheaper prices. That would force the others to have to either match the lower prices or beat them in order to compete. And yes, I did pretty much leave 007 out of this, since Ken doesn't carry any of the low end brands the other 2 carry other than KJW GBBs, and IMO, 007s prices are way too high. Besides, he hasn't had them in stock for some time now, so it doesn't really apply. The only real competion shootsoft.ca has at the moment is A&A. That's not enough to make a real difference. At least not in the short term. |
I have just ordered a Jing Gong full-metal M5-navy AEG (071) that I intend to use as a back-up weapon. Christian is a great guy to deal with and he is very responsive to email questions. I'll post my thoughts on the M5 when it arrives in about 5 days from now. From what I have read they are a good bang for the buck. No pun intended. LOL

AA's prices are quite a bit higher than Ken's. Ken is a great guy and his prices have stayed consistent throughout the years. There hasn't really been any 'cheaper' sources of airsoft aside from ASCA. -VM |
Damn this thread is hilarious lmao

KJW M9 Shootsoft: $275 A&A: $283 007: $350 KJW P226 A&A: $294 007: $375 This is what I was comparing. In general, 007 is cheaper for AEGs. However, A&A cost less on just about everything. |
007 and A&A are great companies with awesome customer service.
i'm pretty sure Ken @ 007 has the price matching policy. |

Review - Shootsoft.ca
About Shootsoft.ca
First, i got a look of this site when Legros put his link in another topic. I get my cash ready and pm'ed him about his site. The site isn't ready and only a small number of people can buy right now with an invitation : He said ! I received my invitation so i filled what needed to create an account. After that, i checked all gun one by one, finally finding one i want. 300$ for a Airsoft guns of this quality is a fair enough price. Shipping was 10$ Going to confirm my order, got a problem with Paypal not opening. I've sent a pm about this problem. Around 2 hours later i got a pm. I tested again on my working pc...nothing and at girlfriend home...nothing. I pm'ed him back. He said problem has been discussed with Paypal and he give me a operation to do. After i worked my cookies (problem) the order was ready. I got a call from him in the afternoon about my order, he received my payment but not my order. He leave a message with a phone number, email an what about the order. I replyed back with my order (name, price, color + shipping) Shipped my order in a stand up time with an upgraded post service (Expedited to Express) Got my gun the day after. All things were inside and fonctionnals. Very pleased by his customer service and reply delay. Thank You Again ! What are you waiting ! |
