Description:

I’m surprised nobody has done this yet. Armed Forces co. that’s located in Kwong Wa Street in HK. Most of you know of this place pretty well but not of the shop.
The company was established back in ’88 while most of us haven’t even heard of airsoft at the time let alone what it was. The main reason why most of you guys would not have heard about this shop is because of the lack of English website. They’ve only recently created an English version of their website and prior to their English website being launched, the only way to get hold of anything from them was to get someone local to contact them for you or you were already a previous contact known to the company. Having said that, the website is only at its first few stages. No doubt we’ll see it develop in the future. So at the moment, don’t expect to see the world’s best website design there when you go visit www.guns.com.hk for the Chinese version and www.armedforces.hk for the English one.
The staff there are very friendly and doesnt make you feel like you're wasting their time compared to other walk-in stores in KWS today. The majority of the airsoft shops have staff that has basic grasp of the English language and AFC is no exception. Their customer service is unlike most shops out there. There are 2 main advantages with AFC over their competitors that are
1. Prices are open on display
2. There is an open display cabinet
In HK being able to freely handle some of the display items and see the price tag on the gun/product itself without isnt common. Being airsofters or collectors or just someone that's recently taken up interest in airsoft in general, it's always better to see if you really like the feel of the gun and being able to actually examine it instead of standing there looking at the gun behind the glass thinking 'hey that's the gun i saw on the website'
Personally speaking that's not much difference than browsing online. maybe just a little more hi definition than just sitting at home staring at the screen.
I have noticed that AFC doesn’t only cater for end users like the majority of the shops do. They also support small time businesses that may not be able to afford to stock items from manufacturers or other distributors. If you are a small business looking for a possible new supplier, please email AFC on info@ armedforces. hk or alternatively, contact them via the fax/phone numbers shown on their contact us page on their website.

Negative aspects of the product (cons):

doesnt stock all the parts you'd expect for a shop this experienced to have. so you may have to wait for certain parts
