Ekol Pistols

Let me ask, what are these used for? Are they similar to collect like a dewat real gun, in that they look like firearms that cannot be normally had? I could see using one on a boat for a help signal or something, is that it?
 
i bought one too. very cool but i was directed to the rcmp website. this is considered a replica firearm and as such it is prohibited. it is not brightly coloured or a fraction of the real size. if someone can prove me wrong please do because i may like to get another. as for great first post, love the sarcasm
 
You need to read the RCMP site more carefully:

Q. What is considered to be a firearm for purposes of the Firearms Act and for offences related to the Firearms Act in the Criminal Code?

As set out in the Firearms Act, "firearm" means:

  • a barrelled weapon from which any shot, bullet or other projectile can be discharged and that is capable of causing serious bodily injury or death to a person, and includes
  • any frame or receiver of such a barrelled weapon, as well as
  • anything that can be adapted for use as a firearm.
Following are some weapons and devices that meet the definition of a firearm but that are deemed not to be firearms for purposes of the Firearms Act and related offences in the Criminal Code. Some of these items are exempted from the definition only if they were designed exclusively for a specific purpose and are intended to be used exclusively for that purpose by the person who possesses it. However, all of the items listed below are considered to be firearms if used in a criminal or negligent manner.

  • Antique firearms;
  • Devices designed exclusively for signalling, for notifying of distress, for firing blank cartridges or for firing stud cartridges, explosive-driven rivets or other industrial projectiles;
  • Shooting devices designed exclusively forslaughtering domestic animals, tranquilizing animals, or discharging projectiles with lines attached to them;
  • Air guns and other barreled weapons designed to have:
    • A muzzle velocity of 152.4 meters (500 feet) per second or less and/or
    • A muzzle energy of 5.7 joules (4.2 foot pounds) or less.

Replica firearms are prohibitedTo be prohibited as a replica firearm, a device must closely resemble an existing make and model of firearm. If it looks like an antique firearm, as defined by the Criminal Code and Criminal Code Regulations, it is not prohibited.The Canadian Firearms Program receives many enquiries from people wondering whether an imitation firearm would be considered a replica if it resembles a real firearm in many ways, but it is made of clear or brightly coloured plastic, or is much smaller in size. Many of these devices need to be assessed case by case. As a general rule, however, those made out of clear plastic and those that are a lot smaller than the real firearm are not prohibited replicas. Those that are brightly coloured might be prohibited, depending on other features. Possessing or Acquiring Replica FirearmsAs an individual, you may keep any replicas that you owned on December 1, 1998. You do not need a licence to possess a replica firearm and it does not have to be registered. However, you cannot acquire, make or import a replica firearm. If you take a replica firearm out of Canada, you cannot bring it back in. If you are a business, you may possess, acquire or import replica firearms only if you have a valid Firearms Business Licence that allows you to possess prohibited device for an approved purpose.

Yes replicas are prohibited. These aren't replicas, also BB guns that are identical to production guns and even full metal framed ones aren't replicas either. What is your point with this long copy/paste post ?????
