getting mini airsoft from amazon
 

Hi guys, I just found some mini airsoft online, is it legal to ship it into canada?

I really wanna have some of those :)

They are useless and ugly, but you never know with customs. Even though they are black, they're size is significantly smaller then an actual firearm, so it won't be classified as a replica, but that doesn't mean it'll make it through.

thx muffin. I have my "big guys" for the outdoor games, just wanna get those mini version for fun at home.

Why don't you get verified?

I mean instead of getting crap why don't you get some real stuff? Also theres still the krakens, all you need is some paint and it should be good to go (I've heard the quality of the krakens is hit/miss so I would suggest some upgrades before playing with it)

Instead of telling him what to get, why not answer his question????

That being said.


Minis usually make it through customs.

thx hattric. you got the point.

I got a WE 1911 CLASSIC and a ECHO1 AK for outdoor games.

I am interested in the mini airsoft just because they are funny looking.

Pretty sure you can find some at Canadian Tire for the same price.

they sell those little ones at walmart so no need to spend extra on crap off amazon
they dont even have gearboxes. everythings just built into the gun body. plus theyre weaker than even a crappy spring pistol

Check your local Canadian Tire or Walmart, I believe that most of those retailers carry the mini guns for a rather cheap price. The last time I looked I believe I saw an aug for 17 dollars. Might be worth saving the shipping and wait time if you can spent an hour to look around locally. Aside from that, if you are heart set on ordering from amazon or any other site for a mini, I say dont worry about it. It should be fine to get through, unless customs feels like being a jerk.

OK, thank you guys~~ I am going to CT now~ hope I can find them.

just came back from CT and walmart, they have mini ones but all of them are clear bodys.
not the one I need.

if you stand about 3" feet below it would be perfect! you dont have to get it from out of Canada! just like tokyo7 said, go visit walmart or crapytire. you'll get it from them.

why you even want one is a mystery to me

then how about this one? Is it still a 1:1 replica?_? i am confusing...

Your missing the point James...that is a replica because the receiver is the same size as a real steel. Just because it looks small because it has a smaller barrel and stock doesn't mean its going to get through. The 15 dollar plastic crap mini ones are not replicas because they are not to scale and barley look anything like a real steel so they are not restricted.

You would be surprized what you could turn one of those things into.
Unlike you, some of us think outside the box.

I think he also said that he just wanted one for fun the mess around with and shoot in his basement at cans are whatever.

Plinking is all fine and dandy, but with atleast 4 of those things you could make something with a better use.

And well nuts to the controller, go one step ahead and make it a motion activated.

yea thats a stubby type not a mini
for a day i suppose
i would think an ebb pistol would even be better than one of those clearsoft minis

While I can pretty much guess, I still have to ask...
TS, what IS that thing? And how well does it work? 8-)

It is a hopper fed 4 barrel airsoft gattling turret. Crude and simple but very effective if placed down a path and hidden from view.

i dont understand how all those bbs would get into all of the seperate barrels when the bbs are all around them on the inside

no shit, did you actually expect anything else?

yea. like it wouldnt matter if you pooped out black or clear turds. its still crap

Perhaps he did expect something else, and maybe if you would have taken a moment to pull your head out of your ass before posting you could have maybe considered that perhaps he doesnt have all the wonderful knowledge that we do. He went to go look as a suggestion and he did not find what he was looking for and there is absolutely no need to be snide to him about it.

To the point, since anyhow these aren't realistic for crap to start with, why not embrace the suck and buy them clear so at least the performance is on par with the looks?

LMFAO!!!!!! its called common sense. im not even going to get into this. Jesus fuck... Fail

He just wants it for fun to mess around with in his house he doesn't care if it shit. Are you going to buy a PTW so you can shoot cans in your basement?

My point exactly, he's not trying to be realistic at all with a mini, so why would a clear one matter?

well when you put it that way then ok. thats cool for fun at your house.
if clears not suitable for you pick some krylon up hell paint it crazy colors even

He might not want it black to be realistic he might just like black better. Clear is like the crap that a regular crap took.

that doesnt make alot of sense to me, mini aeg is a mini aeg, its all crap and a clear one is just a krylon can away from being black crap instead of clear crap

Well you can't blame him for have a preference of color.

Sry mate but its NOT common sense.

The wonderful web shows people playing airsoft of all ages, etc etc. Who would have known that in Canada its different because of [insert a shit load of crap]. Only people that know are the one that get informed on the specific subjects. Oh and honestly its not 'that' easy when you have world wide resellers that tell you 'yes we ship to Canada, no problem'. Truth might hit you hard when you received the nasty yellow/pink 'ugotowned' letter but still, not common sense.

Edit: If it was common sense, we would have a shit load less noobs asking the same question.:D

People seem to forget, its not our place to judge people, this is a forum, its here to inform them and even help them. But spitting out shit like a lot of people are doing recently, has to stop. It's getting ridiculous...

OK, I think I need to say it again, the reason why I want this mini guns is they look funny, and I wanna try them at home shooting some cans whatever. I know they are crappy, and I do not care, cuz I have my AEG and GBB for field games.

Is that clear enough?

I have to admit that, I am new to the airsoft sport, and I know there are lots of thing I need to learn. If you wanna help and give some suggestions, that would be great. But for theos unnecessary argument, plz stop!

^^Welcome to ASC:D

thx ronan :)

LOL +1

no argument here, just sometimes people misinterpret what people are talking about or saying. I just laugh at some of the shit on this site. hope you find what your looking for!:D

everybody enjoy airsoft here~~ cheers:)
