When I found you, you were so slobbering drunk you couldn't buy brandy. And you: friendless, brainless, helpless, hopeless. Do you want me to send you back to where you were, unemployed . . . in Greenland?

Wait a minute, is this a kissing thread?

Josh is Inigo Montoya! I, on the other hand, am the real Dread Pirate Roberts.

*gasp*

I have a question bout whether ican play airsoft im 15 years old i currently own a JG s-system a JG g36c a WE hi-capa and a classic army CQB compact. So i got th guns but i dont know what t do about gear and where can i g to play? I live really close to flag raiders and i noticed this "zombie game" coming up but im am totally lost in the rules of the game! can someone tell me what i should di wuld really like to come and play airsoft and learn all this stuff

thanks alot :)

well firstly, you should be posting this in the games sections rather than make this thread more off topic than it already is, however since you posted it here i misewell anwser some questions firstly since your 15 its illegal for you to own those guns (or so i believe am confused latly) and your parents own them

secondly how the eff did you get all those guns at that age...?

as for gear, go to any military surplus store nearby and pick up some gear, make sure you have proper eye protection (if you cant find any stores just go to aasurplus.ca...)

and im not sure about the rules of the areas around where you live, but im pretty sure most places require you to be atleast 16, and thats with parents present



and make sure you read faq :P

plus i got a solid 300 in accerories on my ca
cqb

Give the guns to an adult and forget about them til you're 18. No respectable host will allow a 15 year old on the field anymore. We have these rules for a reason. On your 18th bday, I'll personally help you out but til then, don't make our lives harder by doing something stupid or allowing your underage buddies to get their hands on them.

Paintball for now then, and remember if you and your friends are playing on your property and someone gets shot in the eye you are liable for any injuries sustained. But there are some fields that let you play when you are 16, but your parents have to be there the whole time as in playing with you. That's in BC though.

i can respect that but im no dumb guy who goes out and shoots them on the street im aware of the consequences and what influence that would have on the canadaian airsoft community

o man i know about the liablity thing just for the record we all use full gear and painball masks but i know accidents still happen thanks for the advice man

o yah in ontario you can play at 16 to

yah i guess lol i have a job so tha helps a bit I just wanna play airsoft man I already love it but... I guess it might have to wait

That depends on the field, and host.

Try using the "edit" button instead of triple posting, will ya?

Ah, and you own more guns than most people I know.... You must be one loaded little 15 year old.

And try to use the shift key when you type. Or at least start spelling things correctly. It is hard for people to take you seriously when it seems you put little to no effort into your posts.

sorry my key board is kinda broken
just curious why do some of you guys go so hard on new people trying to get into airsoft? I mean you guys were like us to. All we are trying to do is carry on the sport that is airsoft and we look to you veterans for advice :D

Yes, but the difference is most of the people here weren't 15 when they started playing. The issue is with age, not with you personally.

...or that some new people are trying to import guns from the states because it's 'cheaper' and don't want to accept that it can't be done legally.

...or that some new people just want to play with clearsoft crap and come here looking for advice. Clearsoft isn't airsoft.

Basically a lot of the new people on the forum come and ask for advice and then call you a fucker when you give them the advice they asked for. Most of the questions newbs ask have already been answered time and time again, so some frustration is understandble when you look at it that way.

ok man good to know I know im young but im no baby and I know a fair amount abot this sport i've done a lot of homework

No, you did selective reading, distilled what you learned to back up the answer you wanted to hear and called that research.

It's not bad to ask advice because you will get it no problem, just when people are ignorant of it after it's given is a bit of a problem, plus do a little research into it before you ask, because generally the question has probably already been asked and generally has already been answered.

As for people underage we had to wait till we turned 18 to really get into this sport. And maturity is taken very seriously because taking an airsoft gun out to where it shouldn't be can cause a lot of problems for you and airsoft, not to mention you could get yourself killed if you are fooling around and the police mistake it for something it's not. There are reasons the rules state you have to be 18 to own these guns. Not saying there aren't mature people under 18 though they do tend to wait till they are of age and save up to buy a gun.

Protip: Reading and not posting is great... You don't wanna be like some of the other underaged kids.. (rhymes with Degan.S, and Hargentcommando) where you just post and post and post on random nonsensical shit you've got no idea about.

Your problems, in no exact order: it is ILLEGAL for you to own an airsoft gun until you are 18+. No loophole on that one.
You CANT play just anywhere you want; there are laws and bylaws to follow.
Where you CAN play depends on the field owner; you must ask them first.

You should know by now that waiting IS the right thing to do.

It is a matter of maturity, and most of all it all about Laws. Those laws bite. Right now they would bite your parents instead of you. Not sure you'd want that to happen.
If the laws get ignored, they could bite the rest of us in stronger restrictions than we now face.

I don't know about that for sure.. there are many technicalities, but it's definitely 18+ to purchase AS. IMO It's kinda like cigarettes.. you can't buy 'em if you're under 18, but someone can give them to you. I've never heard of anyone under 18 getting in shit for having smokes, but I have seen minors get in shit for trying to buy 'em.

Either way, it's safer to wait til you're 18 because then you are completely responsible for yourself and your actions.

Possession (or purchase) of a prohibited device, or replica; must be over 18 or under the direct supervision of the owner.

If you wind up owning it, through a retailer or otherwise, it's all the same.

Like I said, technicalities. AS both is and isn't a replica at the same time, but that's not the point of this thread.

Exactly, I was answering his specific question. The instant the Courts made rulings (last summer) that airsoft were replicas (seizures in Ontario) it set a precedent.
Who can own a Replica is clear. If that ruling gets applied intelligently is a different matter.

Looks like you got it working now :rolleyes:
Sorry if it seemed like I was coming down on you. But as many people have said, there have been lots of minors asking the same questions as you. If you conduct yourself like an adult, for example, using proper grammar and spelling, people will be more likely to treat you like one. Take that as you will I suppose.

A lot of people have been telling you to wait until you are 18. Sorry if it sounds harsh, but my guess is that you are going to continue airsofting in your backyard anyway. Right?

You honestly don't have that long to wait until you are of age. Once you come to a game when you are 18, you will find this community to be quite helpful and friendly... in person anyway.

ok guys thanks alot :D i will definetly do as told

I just want to say for the record that the one or two times i've played in the "backyard" (even though it wasnt really a backyard) its not like the kids you see on youtube running around and shooting eath other with springers its real airsoft just not at a field which does kinda suck. But as far as people thinking that we are shooting each other and calling the cops thats a very understandable point. And I knew the consequences which is why I will now stop.

Just one last time thank a lot guys for helping me out and.. I'll cya in three years!

o and just to the surebet guy no i did not do selective reading to get the answer i wanted i knew all about the laws

One thing you CAN do: get your parents involved. Go with one of them to established games and ask questions. I can assure you that it will help.

ok that sounds like a good idea i live really close to flag raiders paintball games is that where the zombie game is held?

We should start an elite unit that takes airsoft guns away from kids.
Just kick in the door, kick in the teeth, take the gun, smash their computer(because I am sick of these threads)and sell the aeg for rub and tug money.

Im with Schwag, lets get uniforms and a schmexy van to cruise around in.

+1.

+1

if the uniforms are sexy ill start one in ontario :P

so to cap everything off.. theres no way in canada to buy a new CA G36K or G36C without paying 500$+???

PM Col. Hill.

about what???:S buying a g36k for the same or close enough price in a US store??

It was a joke.

Calm down.

No, You can not get a NEW g36 in canada without paying $500+

You could get age verified and look in the classifieds for a used one...

But you've got to be at least 18 to do that... Which it doesn't appear you are.

thats because i havent had the time to arrange a meeting....

ps how good are the used ones?? if it is a CA.. do most members here upgrade the internals from TM parts??? because i read CA makes good guns cept the internals are FUBAR...TM is the best ive read but they are too expensive... even in US stores.. so a used CA3 would be a good option or no???

Classic Army has bad quality control, their pistons and piston heads are often FUBAR... But other than that, gears, motor... it's all fairly decent.

If you're going to upgrade a gun... You don't put another company's stock parts in it.. You buy after market upgrade parts... like Systema, Guarder, Prometheus... Ect ect... They all make a wide range of good after market upgrades.

get age verified; you'll notice a 90% increase in respect on these forums (Because then we can tell you're not just some dumb ass 13 year old that wants to be a 1337 snip3r), and you'll be able to gain access to a lot of fairly priced guns.

I've had no problems with the internals in my CA36. I've fired over 10,000 rounds through it without incident.

i was flipping through the reviews section and read this review on a "aftermath Kraken AK47" .. i noticed the reviewer said it had a clear reciever..

http://www.airsoftcanada.com/showthread.php?t=40035

thats the review thread...

main question is.. will this gun pass customs since its clear???:confused:

Call them and ask. That's what I do anytime I want to bring something in, just in case. They won't take down your number, trace it back to you, and sent JTF2 after your family or anything.

whats the number??? :p

Are you one of many proud owners of a phonebook?

last time i checked we threw out the phonebook :p :p

Can I save you a LOT of time and from 10 more pages of asking questions? Do read the Information Section, do read the reviews, DO get age-verified so you can get the good guns.

And GO see local people to ask them in person AND to see the guns.

Right now, you are wasting your time and ours.

+1. There have been way too many of these damned "Can I import this" threads lately... I think I can count 5 or 6 in the last couple of weeks off the top of my head.

So stop asking these questions, read what has already been said in this thread and many others. Then make your decision. No matter how much you wine, bitch, complain, and claim to have found loopholes, the opinion of the majority here won't change, and you won't get a different answer from us.

I return to the #1 common sense question: Do you think if we could get shit from the USA we would be paying huge Canadian prices for it???. Of course, this assumes one has common sense :rolleyes:
