hardboiledcop Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 man, got a package from them 2 days ago. Probably saved this stock from a grim end. Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 I was going to crack a joke about lipo chargers being left on overnight, but hell, that's a total loss. Link to post Share on other sites
druid799 Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Don't look like the UK Airsoft retailers are going to have to worry about the competition for a while ! This is inside the building , wow ! Link to post Share on other sites
Tw1tch Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 I'm just so glad no one was injured as that looks horrific. Link to post Share on other sites

Rob15 Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 The reverse actually, as this business was also a wholesaler as well.. 8 Years ago or so I'd have agreed, back then looking around airsoft retailers a significant amount of stock would have been coming from Redwolf (I also bought from them in those days, pre making my own wares) but now when I look around I mainly see products from ASG or WE Europe and less and less that could be from Redwolf which is why I assumed they started down the direct sales road. I'm sure they still do a fair bit on the wholesale side but I don't think other retailers are so dependant now, still a shame though as I've always found they were good to deal with, both on a wholesale and direct basis.

Cannonfodder80 Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 I'm glad to see folk her are being a little more mature than other places. I've seen people on social media actually saying it's good as they're too expensive. Never mind the fact that people's livelihoods have been ruined Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 Hopefully suitably insured so they'll be back at some point. I personally don't care for RWA but loosing any airsoft business is a bummer. Link to post Share on other sites
The Disavowed Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 Hopefully they will bounce back soon enough, as has been said, it is people's actual livelihood. Link to post Share on other sites
swatti Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Records of what was in stock are most likely digital so they could get a nice payout off insurance. Link to post Share on other sites
sandstorm Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 Assuming records were off-site. And insurance company isn't an *albatross*. "You stored GUNS there? You didn't sign any special insurance about GUNS! We're taking this to the police first, let's see if your business was even LEGAL..." Link to post Share on other sites
1st Commando Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 As registered firearms dealers you need to have very specific insurance but even so the insurance companies will not offer you the full value of what was lost Link to post Share on other sites
