*sigh* I'll try to be helpful.

First of all, no worries about red barrels. We don't do that in Canada.

Secondly, airsoft guns aren't very good for target practice. They're not very accurate at any substantial ranges, the revolvers especially.

Airsoft revolvers are something of a niche market, not that many companies make them and even fewer Canadian retailers stock them, making them essentially a special-order-only item in Canada. Their performance in terms of accuracy and velocity is generally lower than Gas Blow Back pistols, which represent the industry standard.

If you're serious about purchasing a performance revolver, anything from Tanaka should suit your needs. Google a site called "Just Pistols" for more reviews. If you want to fiddle around with shells, look up Marushin revolvers, they're the only big name who still make shell-loading gas revolvers. However, very few models of Marushin revolvers are available, most are out of stock for some reason. They also use 8mm BBs, hard to find within Canada.

SpecArms is probably the business you'll want to deal with, Will is currently running a group order to RedWolf.

wats a dewalt..

and for the person telling me to search... ive read so many things on so many different sites im fed up of searching thats why im asking for HELP
thanks for your help anyways

Still illegal. Let me put it in a simpler way; is your field a real gun range? Do you have the right permits? Can you legally shoot real firearms, restricted firearms, prohibited or machine gun on that land?
Is the land fenced-off?
Is the police aware?
Do you have insurance?

This is a Replica according to the laws. It means it's as illegal to use that as it would be to use a real gun. Dont tell me your land is a place where those are allowed. I dont think so.

If you dont know what a Deactivated Gun is, hit Google.

If you are (obviously) unaware of the rules surrounding airsoft, there is a real easy solution; read this website. Since you can type, I guess you can read?

And the LAST place on earth you want to screw around with airsoft is in the province of Quebec. Why? I guess you'll have to make an effort to do some research to find out, or take the easy way and listen to advice instead.

thanks for all the advice guys...

forget airsoft ok...
i have the real stuff and have no problems with it...

thought it would be safer with airsoft... and getting my hunting license in a week... and either way the real purpose is not to shoot in my back yard.

thanks for the advice anyways

born2die · February 21st, 2006, 16:46

the real purpose is to showcase so maybe ill try to get the deactivated guns...
but theyre pretty expensive....

DuffMan · February 21st, 2006, 17:34

It depends, getting a WW2 vintage Thompson dewat might be kinda pricey, but you could tryto get some norinco pos (which is pretty cheap to begin with) dewat from a gunsmith.

Greylocks · February 21st, 2006, 19:34

Showing off (your words) with a Replica is a guaranteed way to land your ass in jail. No, not a flame, just the truth. Again, there were HUGE problems with airsoft in the province of Quebec less than 10 years ago. They are not seen with kindness by the Police Provinciale.

If you screw up, not only do you get yourself in trouble, but you cause problems for everyone else. Not very fair, is it?

A deactivated gun, if seen by anyone, will be perceived as 'real' and the result is pretty much the same. The only place I know if who does deactivations is Marstar, and even then it's only from time to time. Those things are not cheap either.

Want to know what's nuts? You are 100% right about something; using real guns is less trouble.

born2die · February 27th, 2006, 20:40

no show off...
i said its not to show off.. specially if i have access to the real thing theres no point on showing off with a toy...

What do you mean by 'showcase', exactly? Your story changes quite often.

Grim Fandango · February 27th, 2006, 22:12

Airsoft revolvers don't exactly come cheap either. There are the Marui and KWC revolvers which are affordable (in terms of Canadian airsoft pricing). But if you want something that really looks good, you'd want to look at the Tanaka line up of revolvers. But expect to pay $400-500 for one of them, some models even more.

If your buyin it for target practice(i.e. not shooting at people) then just buy a pellet gun.

Really though, rethink your posts. You told.. Grey(?) that you would stop being captain obvious, digging up old threads and generally posting nothing of use to anyone.

And yes, I could PM this, but instead I will make a useless post.
At least I'm aware of the fact that I am doing so!

ppimppanda · March 3rd, 2006, 21:51

why dont you go stick that airstrike 240 up your ass and start shooting

aquamarine can help you get it in hes an expert on those sort of things, but you have to gamble a little bit, becuz shipping a penguin loving bird flu victim is illegal and he might be seized by customs.
