    Yeah i would be careful with airsoft. I quit playing that and sold my $10,000 worth of stuff because the police came after us and saying the stuff was illegal. I am not lying we played in the lower mainland. Google peter kang airsoft or Mission and airsoft. Peter kang had $500,000 of stuff took at border then showed up dead in a Bangkok hotel. I think it wasn't his half a million.
    Mission airsoft aka warcraft gaming got taken to court.
    I used to work for Peter Kang this is not B.S.

    My apologies but how am I supposed to address this comment? ( not trying to be rude )

    From reading into the references you provided there was a heck of a lot more going on other than a company selling airsoft rifles..

    Yes, I was around for that 'phase' of airsoft, and the market has opened up since then. Its not hidden in the basements of nearly abandoned buildings downtown. There was a gray area surrounding airsoft in the past (in the early 2000s), but so long as it doesn't meet the definition of replica, and shoots projectiles above those thresholds, there isn't an issue. You even see Canadian Tire and some Walmarts selling cheap versions of airsoft guns, as well are numerous stores throughout Canada. They even hang on walls at military surplus stores, and there are still regular airsoft games at local sanctioned paintball fields, so don't foresee any issues with purchasing airsoft guns. I would agree that caution should be heeded while playing or shooting though, as they do look real. Police won't take any chances when it comes to a call regarding a gun.

    Real firearms are unavailable to the general public in Japan, yet this young man was able to demonstrate the transition can be minimal.
