If he committed suicide, he must have been really determined to stab himself more than once. Still, better than trying to do it with an air soft gun!

Whilst not actually clear in the article, it implies that permits are required for 'Airsoft' guns, can anyone clarify?

Just needed Rupiah when I purchased mine.

Correct! A license is required for an airsoft gun. These toys have been awarded some sort of mystical power ( the military quite often carry them) and don't ever try to import one! The fact that airsoft guns are readily available in places like Kuta just shows that the regulations / laws are not being enforced.
The same applies to crossbows - and I speak from first-hand experience.

We have quite a few with varying degrees of power and authentic looks about them, but no one ever informed us that we would require any sort of permit to own them, not that any vendor ever would of course.
We have a friend who wears a tight brown shirt at work and he says emphatically no ... but he also says that if a Bule went into a Polis station and asked ... the answer would be yes

.... so that's cleared that up ...

I think most Indonesians now class 'Airsoft' as a generic name for all of those items Klaatu, I was always under the impression 'Airsoft' was a brand name for paint guns, but I 've seen slug guns, BB etc labelled as Airsoft.
