What is the WeaponShield Program

The WeaponShield Extended Warranty Program Is the newest innovation to come from Airsoft Megastore, and is the FIRST AND ONLY full-service extended warranty program for Airsoft products in the world. It's just another reason why we've retained the title of #1 fastest-growing Airsoft retailer in the nation, back-to-back, year after year. WeaponShield extended warranties provide affordable peace of mind in extending the warranty of your Airsoft gun to provide up to 12X longer coverage than what's provided from the manufacturer (if any). Hence, WeaponShield-covered Airsoft guns are protected against defects in workmanship and quality to give you greater peace of mind and confidence In use.

NOTE: The WeaponShield warranty will void the default 45-day warranty. You cannot stack warranties. For example, if you get the 90-day warranty, you do not get an additional 90 days on top of the 45 days.

Can I register any Airsoft Weapon in the WeaponShield Program?

Unfortunately, at this time, only brand new weapons purchased from Airsoft Megastore are eligible for WeaponShleld coverage. WeaponShield coverage must actually be purchased TOGETHER with the gun in order to be properly activated, as our trained technicians will actually perform an extensive pre-ship inspection to ensure that the product Is fully functional, and will also perform necessary preventative maintenance (in some cases) before the brand new product is shipped out with WeaponShield coverage activated.

Airsoft Megastore works closely with Airsoft gun manufacturers and distributors worldwide to ensure the quality of products eligible for coverage under WeaponShield. Because not all retailers go through the strenuous steps of ensuring the quality of their products, we are unable to cover guns purchased through any other vendors at this time due to wildly fluctuating quality.

The WeaponShield Process

Every single WeaponShield-certified Airsoft gun purchased from Airsoft Megastore goes through a rigorous pre-shipment Inspection procedure before being shipped out. This entails a multistage product quality assurance (QA) process and a live-fire functionality assurance (FA) protocol to ensure the product is in optimum performing condition and worthy of being WeaponShield-certified.

WeapenShleld Warranty Exclusions - Read Carefully!
Because Airsoft products are unique in their nature, with hundreds of moving parts, warranty exclusions are present to prevent warranty abuse. Even the very BEST Airsoft guns. when used improperly, are prone to being damaged/broken. As such, the below text details situations that would VOID the WeaponShield extended warranty, as well as situations/conditions that the WeaponShield extended warranty does NOT cover (exclusions).

Product Abuse/Neglect: Product defects that are a result of user abuse/damage, including but not limited to physical damage, drops onto hard surfaces, accidental abuse/neglect, Improper operation/storage/maintenance, lack of maintenance, exposure to liquids, high levels of humidity, dirt/mud/sand, exposure to any/all extreme weather conditions, abnormal operating conditions, and/or any or all of the above are deemed to be acts of negligence on the part of the buyer and are NOT covered under Airsoft Megastore's warranty. Furthermore, negligence also causes any warranty(s), whether stated or implied, to be voided in full.

Returns that have been broken due to use of inferior grade BBs (low density, low quality, sporting goods store brand/grade BBs) and/or improper size/weight BBs, including all sporting-goods store branded BBs (i.e. Crosman, SoftAir USA, SoftAir, UltraSonic (licensed by SoftAir USA), AirStrike USA, Flying Colors, FirePower, CyberGun, CyberGun SA, Garno, Beeman. etc.) will be discarded or shipped back to the sender, as products using these types of BBs WILL malfunction. Inferior BBs may shatter Inside the gun and indefinitely damage the gun, and/or may damage the internals due to poor craftsmanship, thereby ending and voiding any warranty either written or Implied.

Unauthorized or Illegal Product Modification: Product defects that are a result of modifications/upgrades manifested in any way, shape, or form are NOT covered under warranty, and causes any warranty(s), whether stated or Implied, to be voided In full.

4 Simple Tips on How to Prevent Voiding Your Warranty

The 4 tips below, if observed, should ensure that you are not operating your Airsoft product In such a manner that would cause the warranty to be voided. Follow them at all times and you will be covered!

For ALL Airsoft guns, do NOT use BBs found In Sporting Goods stores or at discounters like Walmart or K-Mart. These BBs have been conclusively linked to causing IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE to your gearbox/piston/gun due to irregularities in BB shape/spherical consistency and also low density content, which often leads to BBs shattering inside your gun and damaging the internals.

For electric AEGs, make sure to charge the battery for the proper amount of time or charge the battery with a smart charger. The simple formula for how many HOURS to charge your depleted battery is: Total MAH rating of the battery (i.e. 1400 mah) divided by the hourly MAH charge rate of the charger (typically found on charger's label, i.e. 150 mah). A 1400 mah battery that's being charged with a 250 mah/hr wall charger would take 1400 / 150 = 5.6 = approx. 5 and a half hours to fully charge. Leaving a battery plugged in overnight could overcharge the battery and damage the battery cells.

For AEGs (automatic electric guns), do NOT repeatedly tap the trigger on semi-automatic (especially in a quick fashion). This will LOCK UP your gearbox and may cause possible damage to the piston assembly/gearbox. Use of ultra-high voltage batteries including but not limited to Li-lon/Li-Poly (lithium polymer) batteries will cause quicker wear and will void your AEG's warranty.

If you do NOT know how to adjust the hop-up on your gun, DO NOT proceed to adjust your hop-up. Over-adjustment may lead to jamming, and may cause damage to your Airsoft gun's internals.
