Dear Mr Bhatt,
When buying a airgun or a replica gun , one has to keep in mind the laws governing the purchase of these "toys" of that particular state e.g California,Illinois,M.A are States where these are restricted and one might require permission.Conversely there are states like Arizona and Texas where there is no problem . It is well advised that your brother should find out the laws were he resides ,thereafter he may buy and carry back. Indian customs do allow .177 calibre airguns to shooters of NRAI and other organisations without duty,however for an Airsoft he might have to pay duty. His being in the Merchant navy does not mean he doesn't have to deal with customs.
All the best,
Chicky
