I heard that Airsoft guns that shoot between 407 and 500 fps will be allowed in. Is that true?

Actually, it is. The RCMP was paid to do forensic testing on airsoft guns to determine at what velocity they are capable of causing serious bodily injury. The findings indicated that 407 fps was the magic number at which point airsoft guns go from being replicas to air guns. CBSA will apparently respect this finding.

i read this in the FAC. And the 3rd Gen bolt claims to shoot 430 fps with .20 gram BB's so its considered a Air Rifle so i can bring it over ?
