Today the third shipment arrived from my Chinese supplier, and now the arsenal is complete. I’ll fly next Tuesday to meet my contacts in Budapest and deliver the goods; 2 shotguns, 2 M4 rifles, 2 pistols, 1 Uzi, and 15,000 plastic BB’s. Sure, they’re plastic toy guns, Airsoft, but I hope airport security sees it that way and doesn’t mistake me for a small arms dealer.

The chances of getting these full scale replica toy weapons smoothly through security at the three airports I traverse on the way to Budapest is slim to none, but I have to try. Half these are for my friends, and half are for our sons. I anticipate some great Saturday morning airsoft wars this winter!
