Searching for a gun shop in Kent? Platoon Stores in Rochester is a specialist airsoft and air rifle shop, with a proper showroom, an in-house repair workshop and a mobile shop that visits Kent airsoft sites at weekends. We have served Kent’s shooting-sports community since 2006.
What kind of gun shop are we?
So you know before you travel: we specialise in airsoft guns (6mm BB replicas) and sub-12 ft/lb air rifles and air pistols. We are not a registered firearms dealer, so we do not sell live shotguns or Section 1 firearms that need a shotgun or firearms certificate. If you want airsoft or air rifles, though, you are in exactly the right place.
Why players and shooters choose us
- A real showroom. Handle the gun and check the fit before you buy.
- In-house repairs. Our Rochester workshop services and upgrades airsoft and air rifles.
- Kent’s only authorised 5.11 Tactical retailer.
- Out at the sites. Our mobile shop attends Kent airsoft sites most weekends.
What we stock
- Airsoft guns, AEG rifles, gas pistols and snipers. Shop airsoft.
- Air rifles and pistols, sub-12 ft/lb, no licence needed. Shop air rifles.
- Ammunition and consumables, BBs, gas, batteries and pellets.
- Tactical gear and clothing, plus the full 5.11 range.
The legal bit
Air rifles under 12 ft/lb need no licence in England and Wales (you must be 18+). Realistic airsoft guns (RIFs) require a valid defence such as UKARA, our UKARA guide explains how that works, and two-tone airsoft guns can be bought by anyone 18 or over. New to it all?
