They don't allow the importation of replica firearms. CC doesn't care about 366 fps, only if the (barreled) weapon fires projectiles with sufficient velocity or energy to cause...

Some sections (e.g. 91 & 92) do distinguish between firearms and replica firearms, but yes, you can get yourself into the same trouble with a replica as with an actual firearm. From what I gleaned...

I think the 366 FPS is only applicable to CBSA (uncontrolled firearm). I find no reference to it in the Criminal Code. Technically, airsoft guns are not firearms (< 500 fps), and if they...

Replies: 11 Did replica laws change recently? Views: 8,447 Posted By coghlan Not replica if 366 < FPS < 406??? Call me crazy, but, the whole point of not allowing replica (unless clear) guns is so that police don't confuse them with real guns. Exactly what does making an exception for black coloured guns...

Replies: 11 Did replica laws change recently? Views: 8,447 Posted By coghlan Did replica laws change recently? I was just in a dept store in Ottawa and noticed that about half the airsoft pistols in the case were BLACK. This was at a major retailer. Has the law regarding replica guns being illegal changed...

So, if it has a clear body and shoots below 500 fps, regardless of whether it looks like a real gun or just a pellet rifle, it's essentially treated like an air rifle/pistol, as it...

U mean "soft-air" = clear gun, in Canada and US, or is this just a Cdn thing? Discussion forums and vendors all seem to use "airsoft", so is this just a packaging thing?

Replies: 16 Clear guns are replicas, black are not? Views: 11,953 Posted By coghlan Clear guns are replicas, black are not? From reading the various threads, it would appear that these things have to be locked up like any other firearm, but don't require a permit. (Too bad they didn't have these when I was a teen years...
