Why You Don't Play In The Backyard, Part 3,052

[AngelusNex]

A lot of police forces use G36 now, I was stopped on the street by some Kingston police and nearly shit myself when i noticed the 2 tacticooled G36 in their car.

Ye thats why I said the top one but the bottom one looked like the real one but the mag is what I chose it on.

I don't know much about the slight differences but the mag is what I looked at.

its not so far fetched lots of different rifles have seen service in PD's as patrol carbines

iirc the halifax regional police have or had FN P90's in service as patrol carbines

The confusion is that the put the airsoft magazine with the real one (lower gun). The lower magazine's "Bullets" dont meet up with the top loading area or lip. Top magazine should be with the lower gun.. Through me off as well.

They most likely put the real mag next to the fake gun to say "look! real baby killer mags can fit!"

I like the fail on the selectors though. The airsoft is on safe, and the RS is on fire.

Metallic body G36.... YEAAAAH I WANT A FULL METAL G36

They fail at life, although that's why I say "no" when friends come home, see my guns and ask if they can shoot them outside. That could happen, and I don't want this.

You sure dude? Looks like they both are on safe to me.

[kullwarrior]

theyre both on safe, the funny thing is that apparently G36KP (That's a KP I recognize it, stands for Kurz Police which was originally offer to RCMP but they declined and the sample were release into civilians accidentally) only has semi auto.

... Well the GSG9 is technically part of the German federal police force and they use the G36 so that's one....

But regular police? There are probably a few police departments out there with the capital and budgets to buy them to outfit the department.

People don't take airsoft seriously. I mean come on. All those stories of dumb kids pew pewing in public and being tattled on didn't have an impression on this guy?

Victoria Police use G36's instead of Shotguns in their squad cars. I think Saanich is the same (one municipality over)

[shaharov]

Sorry for the Double post... This was a previous member of our local Club (he quit about 4 months ago, but was active for well over a year) All his guns, including the G36 was for sale, I guess it isn't anymore. That was just a spectaularly dumb move on his part and he knows better. Also Sannich and Victoria police arn't as against airsoft as the article make it out to be. A couple of them have come and played with us. This was a stupid decision that ended up in a bad situation putting police on the edge as they just were doing their job. I dont think he can be charged for anything except that it's illegal to fire a firearm in Sannich (bb/pellet gun included). Living in this area and coordinator for a large team that includes people living in Victoria, I'm now having to do a lot of Damage control. :banghead:

Get a Target Box and shoot inside where no one can see!!!!!! Go to your local Gun shop to pick one up!!!!! NOW!!!!! or just wait to use your gun at a game

[shaharov]

Gun boxes are great.. I use one at home.. picked it up from walmat for $20ish... On another note this is from the Saanich police website in the question and answer section...

This is from the questions and answers sections of the saanich police website from last year

Saanich Police Response:


Hi Justin,

Unfortunately I can’t give you an exact location where it would be safe and legal for you to play with an airsoft gun. As you are aware, Saanich Municipal bylaw prohibits the discharge of any firearm within it’s jurisdiction except in well defined situations by authorized personnel. And according to the bylaw, a firearm includes an airsoft gun.

I do have a basic understanding of airsoft technology though and appreciate that when used safely, the risk of serious injury is low. It does still look like a gun and that is where the difficulty in discharging it around others lies.

My suggestion to you would be to contact local paintball companies for assistance.

Good luck in your search.

Response by Sgt. Julie Fast

I know saanich police arn't against airsoft but this situation did warrent what happened here. To bad it got plastered all over the papers

Here's another from Sannich from a few days ago... Pellet gun but same reaction.
