Has the status of sub 500fps airguns been changed ?

Yes it is stupid to the 9th degree.

We had look-a-like pellet guns for decades before we had orange tip airsoft. The less powerful an airgun is the less damage it can do so that is how stupid the law is to ban low fps but allow mid-range fps. It was stupid to make ANY airgun a "Firearm" where there is no fire (ie explosive powder).

This is a result of our anti-gun culture lead primarily by the police forces in our country who are the largest group gun users and carriers in this country outside of the military.

There is no law/regulation/requirement for an orange tip on airsoft guns in Canada.

I would have to say they are a MUCH larger group of gun users than the military ... very FEW Canadian military actually carry sidearms (or have immediate access to them) on a daily basis and even fewer have loaded rounds in them unless on a range.

We are truly on our way to a nanny state ... or police state (you pick it!) and the annoying part is that none of this has any impact on the folks who intend to use firearms illegally anyway -- the Toronto gangs are not concerned with "BB" guns or pellet pistols
 
I was in Canadian Tire in Belleville yesterday and they have full size AK47 airsoft guns for sale.
If they are not illegal replica guns, then what are? Go figure.
