My usual suggestion is to complete your user profile so local players can point you to deals or help you, then go see the guns in person before buying anything. It will also answer a truckload of questions all at once.

The rest is some red-tape to be able to buy them. That part is up to you.

ive already got an sr-16 as clearly stated by my profile...i live in kelowna anyways and we have the airsoftkelowna forums for the local dealing anyways. soz i wasnt thinging that the railed frame had anything to do with those kind of rails.. though it might have to do with something else....im very new to gbb. but thanx for your help anyways

I mean your profile does not say where you live. Look at mine and most others, you'll see what I mean. Under our names it says it all, yours does not. You can also find deals here if you can get your age verified.

Yep, a rail is a rail. Like I said your first pic of that P226 has one. I dont find rails to be a 'must have' option on handguns. Never did, likely never will.

id prob never use a rail on a sidearm.

thanx for your help.

Getting age verified helps us know you can own airsoft guns legally, and gives you access to the deals in the Classifieds here.
Why is it impossible? Are you under 18 and asking us for advice so you can buy something you cant legally own? You do know that airsoft in Canada is under some very precarious laws, right?

My choices of guns have always been to go for what is simple and what is proven to work. For that, I asked around and got tips for what to look for.

Your maturity is not in question. It's a lot of laws that apply. Using real guns under supervision also does not matter one bit; not the same laws.

I suggest that if you are truly mature, you will wait for a few years. If not, I am sorry but I cant help you. If anyone here helps you, it can put us all under scrutiny we dont need. If you or your friends screw up with an airsoft gun... guess who will get blamed? The retailers, the sellers, and the folks who gave you advice. So here's my advice; wait.

Most parents dont know the laws around airsoft. If they really want you to get guns, they should sign up with a profile and get informed.

There are places where you can play if you are under 18, and that depends on the field owners, but most anywhere in Canada it's 18+. Insurance costs are the reason, laws are the other.

So now that you know, you have to decide what option is more mature.

alright well.....im not gonna comment on the field owner part because of some reasons. if i do decide to not play until im older, which may be the case because i still have to get alot of gear and such, im still going to purchase all of my guns, camo, accessories now... even if i dont play.

Greylocks · December 25th, 2007, 16:28

Well, purchasing your guns anyway as you just said is illegal and certainly immature on your part. (I notice that you said YOU would purchase, not your parents, so what is the truth?)

I am sorry that you dont understand the reasons, but that too is why you have to be legally an adult to own an airsoft gun. That way, if you screw up, the consequences are on your ass.

The (maturity) ball is in your court.

yes i understand all that. and yes i do understand the reasons why the government does not allow people under 18 to purchase airsoft guns.

Greylocks · December 25th, 2007, 19:29

Ok, so do the smart move next if you truly understand. Gather your cash and wait.

You're not the first person to wait, you will not be the last, and as any others who have waited will tell you: It's worth it.

That's how you really prove the maturity part of things. Dont be like the hundreds of other kids we get here each year.

swatt13 · December 30th, 2007, 19:36

i would stay away from kjw myself, i dont know about their new stuff, but their old stuff was garbage. if i had to pick, id say the p226 tho, a mate has one and its been pretty good sofar.

Dude, just save up money and wait, or purchase your guns last. It is illegal for you to have them now. As in against the law. Are you a fucking criminal? No? Then wait.

bobotea · January 7th, 2008, 20:44

p226 for sure classic SAS pwnage

Styrak · January 7th, 2008, 21:27

I'd go with the P226. But that's because I think Berettas are ugly. Oh, I also have a KJW P229.

Cassius · January 7th, 2008, 21:39

Wait till you're 18 and save up so once you're old enough, you'll have enough money to buy yourself a TM P226 and a metal conversion kit. This will make your 226 ten times better than that KJW gun. I have many GBBs and the worst are my 3 KJW, the best are my 2 TM then WA then KSC.
