They have good guns and prices. The prices are only like $40 dollars or so more than it is online. i would think that it is for shipping and what not. They have a lot of brands (JG, TM, Echo 1), I was sad that they didn't have any Classic Army (when I went). The store owners are very nice and helpful.

Over priced, understocked, and a shade-tree mechanic to boot. Yeah, it's your typical airsoft store...on a good note, your right, the owner is nice. But who wouldn't be when their trying to sell their wares to unsuspecting individuals...

Any proof to back up your claims spyd3r? When I drove past and looked in the walls were full of different guns. Again I only drove past and looked in. im willing to pay a little extra for something thats exotic or hard to find

Any proof to back up your claims spyd3r? When I drove past and looked in the walls were full of different guns. Again I only drove past and looked in. im willing to pay a little extra for something thats exotic or hard to find 80% of those "guns" were either (cheap-flea market) springers or cheap plastic $30-$40 (dare I say) aeg's... As for my, "claims"... What kind of proof other than you yourself going in there and looking for yourself. Also, would you pay someone $70 to install a chamber set, and hop up? That was a quoted price from their tech. Furthermore, the higher end aegs they do have, are on the wall and none in stock. So, enjoy your finger fucked AEG. Also, they have a booth in Gibraltar Trade Center Me and Pagan both were there when he quoted a price for magnified acogs (replicas-brand eludes me right now), and when they came in-$40 dollars HIGHER than what he quoted me a WEEK earlier... Now, what other proof do you need?

I'll back up SPYD3R on this one, It's definitely overpriced there too. When I saw the shop I had high hopes... Until I saw the letters on the window "HOOKAH!" I lost all hope, It was worse too going in asking for parts I need only to have them keep bringing some random crap I don't even need. They seriously should know what they're selling cause I'll hate to be the gullible 14yo that'll buy anything those guys throw up.

Does someone have a link to their website if they have one? I'd like to look this place up for Shits, but Google is no help.

hey spd3r i know the mechanic personally and his prices are not that high. He charges 45 to open a gearbox.For the hop up and the chamber would be like 10. The price the owner gave you was inaccurate. He also does not work with him anymore.

My brother went there recently and bought a Systema tappet plate for around $10. I have been wanting to go in the store for shits and giggles, but I don't think they would have anything I would want.
I saw their store at Gibraltor and I quietly laughed to myself.

I saw their store at Gibralter and I quietly laughed to myself. I do every time I'm in there. Naturally, being an airsofter, I always stop and LOOK at everything because the mere presence of a gun excites me. And I'm never NOT disappointed. Salesman's actual words, verbatim: "This JG M16 (it was an M4...) shoot 550 feets (yes, plural) per second." Me: "Warranty?" Salesman: "We no give the warranty here, it break, it break." Me: "Kay... (hasty exit)"

Well spyd3r,barrett,tatsumi and vampyre,where do you buy your guns?I have bought 18 rifles and 10 pistols from commandos.I have had great success with buying guns there.Seems to me that somebody who has only been there once isn't the person that i want advise from.And at least this store works with the customer when something breaks.Maybe you should educate yourself about airsoft,before you pass judgment about the knowledge of the store workers .You have a better store in the state of Michigan,let me know.Also, if you don't like the prices of getting your gun fix.Maybe you should find somewhere else or fix them yourself.
