Some devices commonly known as “air soft” guns may qualify as replica firearms. For example, following a thorough assessment and a review of ballistic studies, the Chief Scientist for Firearms at the RCMP’s Central Forensic Laboratory has determined that a line of electric guns, spring guns and gas-powered guns produced by the Tokyo Marui company are replica firearms because:
* They closely resemble real firearms in size, colour, appearance and configuration, and * The projectiles that they fire are not likely to cause serious bodily injury.Again, various makes and models may have to be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
So one example… ANYTHING from Tokyo Marui is illegal and others can be deemed illegal so to say they arent illegal is rather misleading.
