They are firearms under section 2 of the criminal code. Some shoot overy 500 fps and thus become firearms regulated by the firearms act. There is at least one list on the frt that is prohibited as it shoots full auto and over 500fps.
Most are firearms, but exempt from certain sections of the criminal code as per section 84(3) cc

Yes airsoft need a formal FRT. They already meet the legal definition of a firearm and they need to test velocity to confirm that it falls between 366-499. Therefor not a firearm or a replica. Stupid, yes I know
It boggles my mind that it should take so long to do classification. Ideally there should be a fairly simple checklist:
- Is there anything that would make it prohibited? If no, then is it a handgun? If no, the barrel length equal or greater than 470 mm in length and is the overall length equal or greater than 660 mm? If yes to both then it is non-restricted. Case closed.

The document is an administration manual as to how a firearm is entered into the FRT.
It is not a collection of technical guidelines on how a firearm is evaluated ( as converted or variant) and given a classification, based on a defined technical framework.
The FOI inquiry should not only ask for " step by step" process", it should also ask for any technical manuals and written guidelines specifically pointing to the evaluation and determine of variant and converted auto.
A step by step process is like asking for...say you run a warehouse, you write a manual on the inventory system to tell the warehouse guys to press "A" for "hygiene" products and "B" for "family planning", then press "enter". But the manual is not the place to go on and on about how to tell the difference between "hygiene" and "family planning" products. Either it is so obvious or there is another book of guidelines, outside of the inventory system manual.
I also did not see the RCMP completely answered all inquires , as to why it takes more than 2 years to look at each entry.

They are firearms under section 2 of the criminal code while some are regulated by the firearms act.

It's restricted by barrel length. North Sylva is the importer. If tnw makes one with a longer barrel then those would be nr. IRG will likely bring some to market I would think. If they find some.
Don't think many are being widely produced now.

Not for sale they weren't. The concept was advertised as a future sale plan wrt the ppsh. Tnw has not yet advertised ppsh41 sa with longer barrels, so currently the only ones made available are restricted based on their barrel lengths.
