First and foremost, a heartfelt shoutout to Defrowe Airsoft for his incredible generosity. His donations, presence, and unwavering support for AOJ and our ventures have been nothing short of transformative. Thanks to Defrowe's contributions, we've seen a surge in interest from airsoft enthusiasts around the world. Equally deserving of our gratitude are the Yang brothers, whose provision of an array of weapons and gear has been invaluable.
I would also like to take a moment to thank our other members that have donated via the homepage when booking: Declan, Kelcey, Austin, Kim, Dave and Alvaro. Thank you so much!
In a thrilling turn of events, the Japanese online marketplace Mercari announced an airsoft store’s closing -down sale, unleashing an avalanche of listings for bulk stock clearances. Imagine snagging a job lot of plate carriers, BDUs, belts, boots, gloves, masks, helmets, goggles, weapon optics, flashlights and more, all starting at the unbelievable price of ¥6,000 (about $40 US)!
This windfall has enabled us to revolutionize our rental offerings for newcomers to airsoft. Traditionally, a visit to an airsoft field could see you shelling out ¥1,500 for basic gear like a BDU and protective mask, with weapon rentals adding another ¥2,000-¥3,000 to your tab. When you tally it all up, that's nearly the cost of a full day's adventure.
Thanks to our latest acquisitions—fueled by generous donations and the refurbishment of donated weapons—we're thrilled to offer a more extensive selection of rental gear.
For example, your ¥3,500 - ¥5,000 fee will get you:
BDU Top
BDU Pants
Full Face Mask
Rifle
In contrast, AOJ offers a full set of:
BDU Top
BDU Pants
Goggles
Mask
Hat/cap
Belt
Rifle (G36C / M4A1)
…all for a combined price of ¥2,750! If you want to add a vest and gloves, add on just another ¥500 for the set. Where else can you find such a deal? There are also other options available, like renting a pump-action shotgun, various handguns and more.
We're dedicated to reinvesting every yen from charter games and donations back into the AOJ community. Our goal is to make airsoft more accessible for players, enriching their experience with a diverse selection of props and equipment. Join us as we continue to push the boundaries of what's possible, making every game an unforgettable adventure.
Thank you all for working so hard! I really enjoy the events and games with you all! Looking forward to more!
Thanks for all the hard work to make airsoft more popular by easing the entry. Keep up the good work!
