Gas airsoft?

[bbgunnerman]

I was just watching some vids on youtube and I saw a gun called the "kwa g18" it looks like a pretty good gun and I was wondering wear I could get on in eastern ontario. From what I've seen there only avalible online.

Non-transparent airsoft pistols are basically only available online in Canada. There are no physical airsoft stores. The Newbie Guide in the FAQ will tell you all you need to know.

Look up at the Canadian Retailers. Only 007 has any guns left, and might not have that gun. Other than that, you have to be over 18 and age verified and then you can access the classifieds section of this website, which runneth over with guns.

Already checked... They don't have it plus their prices are high.

If you're over 18, get age-verified. Glock 18s - new and used - of various brands pop up in the classifieds all the time. If you're not 18, then you're shit outta luck until you are 18.

Classifieds? And how do I get age verified?

If you're 18 or older, then read here:

And it would probably be a good idea to fill in your profile with your age and location too

I'm from the us... Is that a problem?

[Qlong]

If your from the US, why would you want to buy from Eastern Ontario? Our prices differ from US prices dramatically due to the prohibitedness of importation of airsoft through our borders.

How are you from the US? You just mentioned that you wanted to get ahold of a gun in eastern ontario. You're obviously underaged...

This forum holds alot of information. Please keep in mind before starting a new thread, that there maybe an existing one already. Near the upper right hand corner next to the quick links and log out tab is the search tab. With that you can attempt to see if there is a thread on the topic, dont get discouraged if you dont find something right away, change up your search words as well, the search system doesnt just find tittles it looks for word matches in the content as well. If there is an existing thread on the topic and something wasnt clear, dont be afraid to necro post, despite what some douche bags say, its perfectly fine.

Im sure you have alot of questions, and in time you will find all the answers. Theres alot to learn and it cant be picked up in a week or two. But Im time you will learn what you need.

It will shed a little light on airsoft in general.

Now as for airsoft in Canada, just as a general consensus this website and the majority of its members follows the 18 years of age rule. Meaning that, it is recommended that a person be the age of 18, before they aquire their first gun. It is recommended because 18 is the recognised age where a person can be held legally responsible for their actions. Now it maynot be illegal in all provinces to own airsoft, but I do believe there is a province out there where there is an actual law stating that one must be 18 to purchase. Which one that is, I cannot remeber. Hopefully someone can perk up and jump in on that part. The majority of fields used for airsoft play usually require that a person be 18 years of age as well, although I have heard of fields where there have been players as young as 16, with parental consent.

This website has a process called age verifacation, where if you are 18 or older you can meet with a volunteer representative of this website who will meet with you in person, there is no way around this, no phone, no webcam, in person only, where they will require to see a legitimate piece of photo identifacation. After the process is completed, it can take sometime as this is all volunteer work, you will be granted access to this websites buy and sell section, where you can find both new and used guns, for fair and competative prices. Although its not always the case, it is sort of an open market.

Finally this website also has a FAQ section that holds some useful info,it may not be entirely up to date, but I suggest you poke around in there as well. You may find something handy. I have provided you with the information and means aquire more and answer any possible questions you may have. Use these methods well. Failure to do so may result in some ill treatment from members when they get tired of spoon feeding you information.

Cheers.

Why would you be looking in eastern Ontario when you're in the US? You can get a the GBB pistol you're looking for under $100 in the US. Expect to pay about $300+ for that same gun here.

And yes, getting age-verified is a problem if you're from the US. And it's not necessary, because you can get guns for 1/3 of the price we pay here.

I'm living here for the next half year, don't figuire its worth it because of the time I'm speding here.

[Crunchmeister]

"Living here" means you're living where at this moment, USA, or Canada? If you're in the US and want to play airsoft now, then you're in luck. You can buy guns uber-cheap and equip yourself with the other essentials like extra magazines, tactical gear, etc. And when you return to Canada, sell the guns in the US, and bring the rest of the gear with you.

If you're in Canada now and returning to the US, then it will be a more expensive proposition to get into airsoft. The guns are much more expensive here and choice is more limited. In that case, your best bet is to get age-verified and buy something from the classifieds here on ASC.

Although I'm not 100% sure, I believe you may be able to bring your guns back to the US with you, although there are specific laws in the US like requiring an orange barrel and no trademarks that may be an issue. I'm ot 100% on that. If you can't bring them back with you to the US, you can always sell them in the classified here before you leave. With the money you get from the sales, you can buy the exact same guns brand in the US for 1/2 the money you'll have made on selling your old guns used here.

And see, if you had filled out your profile as requested by myself and others, we wouldn't be having this confusion right now.

I belive they're quite stingy on moving airsoft guns across border. Thats why I didn't buy one to bring with me.
