Anyone ordered a airsoft gun from the USA before?
 

Hi, I live in Waterloo, Ontario. Has anyone ordered a airsoft gun through the USA(california) before? I was wondering if the Canadian custom will allow it through? I plan to order it online from Airsplat and have it shipped over. thanks for the help.

Uh oh :rolleyes: You're gonna need an asbestos jumper in here.

hi, any helps?

That $150 could be better spent on a whackload of JuJubes. That gun, nor anything else awesome looking you will find on US websites, will not come through.

Quick and easy answer, No. Don't waste your cash it'll never make it.

Welcome to ASC
I'd suggest reading up a little
especially reading through this
http://www.airsoftcanada.com/forumdisplay.php?f=21

You CANNOT IMPORT AIRSOFT GUNS
we WILL NOT tell you where to get the guns unlees you are age verified


If you are 18+ You will be suggested to get "age verified"

If not then wait until you are.
Read alot post less, and use the search function

The short answer is no. The longer more accurate answer is it is possible depending on the specific model, the mood of the agent, what colour of under wear he or she is wearing that day, where you live in Canada, the number of vowels in your name and a plethora of other details.

I suggest you read this:

And in the future its always a good idea to look in the faq before asking a question here on ASC. Ignoring the fact that they have all been asnwered many times before, the best reason is that there is alot of info in the faq's that likely won't be repeated to you unless you ask very specific questions.

If you are an adult and you get age verified there are other steps you can take to make it easier to self import airsoft. That being said no one will inform you how to do it unless you are proven to be an adult.

Its nothing personal just our community rules.

Cheers.


Edit: I will now just allow Ritz to be my mouth piece as he has become very good at it.

I lost count I'll just assume from now on i'm in a eternal state of winning

You know its actually quite remarkable that we out answer each other (you more than I) as often as we do.

It's because you guys have no life :rolleyes:

jealous?

No, and No you cant buy any airsoft gun outside the country and bring it in because it wont get through customs.... and a heads up, what you were or wanted to buy is a Piece of Shit, do not buy that gun, its a crappy plastic ACM made M4 probably with a plastic gearbox...Just a warning

Nope :D

Was teasing Eeyore...

HK you should have no issues getting AV'd in Kitchener.

But can you blink and cure your brain? ;)

safer than my suggestion lol :D cancer is bad

Perhaps instead of "Canada's Largest Airsoft Community", the ASC title page should be...

Airsoft Canada
You Can't Import Guns

I ordered a couple airsoft guns online once. They all came in without any hassle whatsoever and was shipped in very good time too!

All within the boarder. ASC's retailers rock :)

I would recomend you to take your 150$, go to a casino, and see if you can win the 400+ needed for a quality airsoft gun.
seriously, you have better chances doing that than getting a gun across the border.

He's probably 12.

gosh that was my first aeg...
still remember it was totally raped up right after i picked it up from the express office.

Well at least he wasnt looking to order snipers from the usa

aww but I want to import a sniper so I can sniper people from 250 yards away! its ok I have 700fps and that means I have the most range ever!

BTW if you do want a cheap m4 like that with a plastic gear box, head to walmart and pick up the one they have there for $100. it'll last you a season and if you are playing with other people with it you'll be fine.... but any quality gun WIll out range and out shoot you.

that would've been hilarious

I'd be your local age verifier.

Hmmm... 2 posts only from hkd2011. Who wants to bet that he emo-raged and left ASC because he didn't get the answer he wanted and just went ahead and ordered it anyway?

@OP please next time search Google if not here about importing guns from the USA

When thinking of ordering weapons over the border in simplest terms look at it this way. A RS M4 rifle uses a 5.56mm round, an Airsoft M4 uses a 6mm round. Now imagine how close in diameter the barrels are. Now imagine a customs agent unfamiliar with airsoft and sees many packages a day and can't stop everything to check that the barrels are about half a millimeter different in size. That is if he/she takes it out of the box, most likely it will be X-rayed and if it looks like a weapon which amazingly it does *poof* gets tossed aside.

P.S. none of what I said may be accurate but when I first started looking at guns and saw ones from USA here was my first thought "This looks pretty damn real, how the hell would this get cross the border."

You aren't allowed to bring airsoft guns in anyway, so even if it was identified as one it would not get through; you might be able to call one an airgun, but I think you need to be there in person.

It's still classified as a Prohibited Device, since it is a replica firearm. All replica firearms are prohibited devices for the purposes of importing and can only be imported by holders of BFLs with a prohibited devices provision, although there is another way to legally import airsoft guns. This stuff is in the FAQs.
