Does anyone know of anyone who sells this stuff up here? or are we out of luck? or is it for some stupid reason illegal?

Apparently no one up here sells Aguila.

How does it work if there's no powder?

The primer charge alone is sufficient to propel the bullet the length of a handgun barrel.

I've used them and still have half a box kicking around. They are quiet, but nearly useless (pellet gun power). You also have to single feed them by hand right into the chamber due to the shape.

Prefer CCI Cb longs over them. They aren't a whole lot louder, but offer much better killing power. Plus, they will feed from a mag.

Shoot's at 500fps, which means shoots lower. Wouldn't an airgun that requires no PAL be just as effective?

 

[kombayotch]

The difference between it and a 500 fps. .22 cal airgun is insignificant in practical terms. Its useful for squirrels at close range and thats about it.

If you're using a bolt action(or any non-single shot) you can reload quicker than most pellet guns.

You would likely need a Pal Air Rifle to launch a 20Grain pellet at 500Fps.

These bullets are for handgun use only.

These could be fun to hunt squirrel with but since it's not legal in Canada to hunt with a pistol, that just leaves quiet indoor target shooting.

Regular Coribri is for pistol only. Super Coribri works just fine in rifles.

When I have a squirrel in the barn, I still reach for the Cb longs instead.

Nah, it would be marketed as 495fps

I've never seen the stuff but according to the link above,

The Super Colibri fires without a powder charge. It pushes a light 20-grain bullet at 500 fps with little noise. Will not cycle in most semi-automatic firearms. Great for young shooters and for use in revolvers. For use with handguns only. Per 500 rounds.
Available: .22 Super Colibri.

I've never fired it in a pistol. Only rifles with 16 and 21" barrels...

 

[Can-down]

Any idea how fast they were going out of your 21" barrel?

I can see why you'd prefer the CB longs,much better performance and still quiet out of a longer barrel.

You can make your own wax bullets for revolvers, and push em with primers. They are surprisingly loud though. Not really loud but louder than I thought theyd be. My buddy did it awhile back with some .38's. Made a mess of the barrel though but was not too hard to clean up.

 

[kombayotch]

I didn't chrono them.

The new Remington CBee rounds are also worth looking at for critter control. 33 gr. @ a little over 700 fps. They are in a LR case and have a shape similar to Yellow Jackets, so they should feed. They are also a hollow point, which supposedly expands quite well. These are available in Canada, I have seen them.
