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.

Dusti69 September 14th, 2008 20:09

why you even want one is a mystery to me

jamesli92 September 14th, 2008 20:09

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.
