Those guys run/part of Op-For Mission with at least 2 fields. One is a huge ass out door place, and another is the 100 meter long decom BC Ferry. Played on the ferry, it is freaking awesome.

What we really need is airsoft to be legalized, not more retailers operating in the blindspots of the law.

Bakes, I read nothing about him calling Ken an idiot But fact is you don't even have it right about what happened to Ken. He was never raided. He had a order of springs and other accessories seized at the boarder. And he has always ordered through someone else. IF you have played longer than 2 years you wouldn't even argue that something is really going down this time.

Retail
It's not a question of if new product arrives in Canada. There is product crossing the boarder all of the time.
The known retailers are being attacked, many of them shared a single point of entry. Peter Kang and Wes were supporting many of the airsoft "resellers" and others were using the same channel so a large channel being shut gives the illusion of a well organized assault on multiple stores. The successful people have been bringing in small amounts from the states or elsewhere, no bulk orders, no customes brokers but also no huge volume discounts. These retailers are never going to make airsoft sales there bread and butter but it is great for the sport and can put a few pennies in the pocket. What we need is a community with a number of these small succesfull retaiers. I personaly have brought in over 25 units since Christmass. There has been problems some of the real steal hand guns have been seized but for the most part it has been fine. I know of others that are doing the same thing, some with no luck and some that are seriously infating there margins to the point where the product becomes unatractive for the buyer (less buyers = less players). I think in short what I am trying to say is if the people that were selling the guns cared more about the sport then the bottom line we would not have the problem that we are having. Keep it small personal and under the radar and we will all do much better. |

Why is everyone so damned blind! Brian just stated that it is illegal to trade in replica firearms, which after a couple of challenges we have seen that the gov't sees airsoft as such! Pull your heads out of the sand! At this rate i seriously doubt that "it will all just blow over, and someone will find a loophole somewhere". I'm almost sick of this shit, people wake up and take a look around...never has it been this bad before, and before someone yells "stfu the sky isn't falling" have a real hard think about what has happened over the last year and tell me that it isn't a crackdown.

Well, what more can be done than being hopeful? Seriously I don't think there's much left that can be done.
When I played paintball for the longest time, it's took quite a while for that to get any support from the public, and paintball is about 50* the size of airsoft. I guess you're either in or out from here. |

I guess it would be easy to roll over and play dead. Myself I prefer to try through action not words to make something better happen. And without patting my own back, have had some luck. I have outfitted at least 12 players that other wise wouldn't have started to play.
If waking up means packing up my gear and going home I'll stay asleep and do something productive. |
