hmm their ICS section still exists..
although the email, that someone posted on ASC about them not having any "black" guns in, is clear.... i still have hope. these guys had the cheapest ICS airsoft. seriously.. too bad it walked away from me hoping for the best. im sure there might be a few "accidental mishshippings"

they had a way to import real airsoft and somehow they got noticed and now it's dead.
that's my theory |

But now that some paintball markers are getting close to being replicas (at least without the tank), I wonder if that could help Airsoft.

OOOOH gaaawd,
i couldn't beleve it when i've looked on their site today, i guess someone from a&a airsoft must be having a boner today when he realised how things turned out. It really is pathetic. |

Interesting note, many airsoft guns are illegally acquired (can't transfer replicas between individuals) but beyond that all are basically completely legally owned (no licences for replicas, replicas exempt from prosecution for just having it). On the other hand, the majority of paintball markers acquired and/or owned by individuals under 18 and without a PAL are in fact illegal, because a standard 3.2g paintball fired at a standard field limit of 280fps well exceeds 5.7J of muzzle velocity (in fact, most are perfectly capable of going beyond that), making those paintball markers technically firearms. Something else to think about the next time you share the field with paintballers. At the end of the day, our predicament is a matter of who's interpreting what part of the law they're responsible for. Paintball's bipolar approach to realistic appearance is not so much hypocracy as an internal fight over how to keep off the PC radar.

You're reading the wrong "or".

Let me put it to you simply this way. There are MANY .22 caliber pellet guns here in Canada with the rating of just under 500fps, with pellets 11-15grains at that velocity. That exceeds the energy limit, but not the velocity limit. Not a firearm, no PAL required, I own several.

deemed not to be firearms if the weapon is not designed or adapted to discharge a shot, bullet or other projectile at a muzzle velocity exceeding 152.4 m per second or at a muzzle energy exceeding 5.7 Joules Anyway that's how I'm reading it... legalese makes my head hurt. Where's Lawdog??
