it would not be classified as a firearm but rather as an airgun (non-restricted firearm)

Then its not a replica.. it can still shoot over 500 as long as it dose not ALSO shoot over 5.7 joules of energy.. because then it is a regulated firearm Select fire or model means nothing if it turn out to not be a replica and turns out to be an unregulated firearm. I'm not talking out my butt here.. I know of cases directly in which seized items were released after testing by the RCMP proved they were not replicas. so we can toss all the speculation.. and what ifs Because it is fact.

The CBSA are charged with protecting our borders from items which the Canadian government and CBSA officers themselves, feel are prohibited. The CBSA will do whatever they feel is necessary to ensure "replica firearms" do not enter the country.
Even if you attempt to dispute the velocity.. The item is still seen by most CBSA Officers as a replica firearm and will be reviewed as such. Until they start viewing Airsoft M4's as not being a replica of an actual M4.. Ask yourself this: If you were a CBSA Agent, would you let this stuff into Canada? (I sure as hell wouldn't) Last edited by c3sk; August 22nd, 2009 at 03:21.. |

Barrel length means nothing. Mag capacity means nothing. Select fire means nothing. Check it out for yourself, it's posted on the CBSA website. Uncontrolled firearms are not to be subdivided into traditional controlled firearms classes of non-restricted, restricted or prohibited classifications. Velocity and energy are the only determining factors seperating controlled from uncontrolled firearms and replicas. Brian is bang on.

Ever wonder how certain guns seem to be getting into the country lately? Very few of them are coming by way of importers, as they meet the requirements the CBSA has laid out in D19-13-2.

Could you order an airsoft that does not look like a real model? For example those JG Thundermaul (or something like that), afaik, that ugly thing dosen't exist. Would it be confiscated? Or those movies-based handgun?

The CBSA can deny you entry if your lips don't match your passport photo. But we all know how that one is going to turn out (Cha-Ching). Fear of facing a winnable appeal is keeping everyone "in line", but it's not necessary. Just an FYI, this is a relatively new development, since June of this year. Go read D19-13-2.

Yes, you can import an airsoft if it does not, in any way, resembles a real gun. So can have an airsoft version of the gun from Halo and it's okay because there are no real guns that look like that yet.
