Doesn't it stink that we have to pay %150+ markup on our guns compared to our neighbours to the south? It's not so much fun to play with cheap clear plastic guns, is it? Smuggling prohibited replicas in my butt really hurts, I mean, I haven't been able to sit down in days now. Next time I'll leave the Dragunov behind.

Clear plastic guns? The only people that had clear guns were the ex paintballers.
Played a few weeks ago, all I saw were slick Tavors, P-90s, metal M4s, wood AKs, Mosins...all looked pretty real to me.
I'm pretty sure the guns have to be clear to meet Canadian law.
newp. Better tell that to all the cops and military guys I played w/
the clear plastic ones are the ones that are readily available to buy from bass pro shop / canadian tire. You can still legally get metal / non clear guns in canada, but you have to go through a dealer that charges lots of money for them.
Indeed they ARE tricky to import. Also sometimes you have to acetone or paint the "orange barrel cap".
I reallly doubt you saw Mosins- the only replica Mosins I know of cost roughly $1000...
Why do you doubt that? I'm pretty new to Airsoft but the last event I was at had over 100 people.
I reallly prefer to doubt you are moron enough to go questioning people like that on the INternet. Like, why would I make this up? Half the people there had kits more expensive than 1000$.
I'm not trying to be an asshole- I'm just basing this on what I know and I believe that you are probably incorrect. I've airsofted for years and never seen a Mosin, the only one I know of is this and its about a grand and very low powered. Its a great wall piece but has very little tactical value.
Well actually you are being an asshole. If I can identify one, and speak to someone "about his mosin", you are probably incorrect.
Airsoft and tactical value? LOL. You know what lacks tactical value other than questioning people blindly on the Internet? Fat gun nerds with 40kg kit and more money than brains.
well we now know, at least two people following this thread couldn't hide behind an oil barrel.
Furthermore, its pretty clear that many people have no problem dropping 1k on an airsoft gun or two. So why all the doubt about the mosin? Just because YOU'VE never seen one in the flesh? Because it's of little tactical value? (People don't just bring guns for tactical reasons, they bring them for resale, show-n-tell too).
This should probably get to the crux of why you are acting like a fat gun nerd that has never seen an airsoft mosin in action.
There are ways to get them cheap.
please enlighten us :)
Airsoft in Canada is growing. BTW I'm a player and a retailer :D
it sucks. I switched to paintball.
