Hello all,

I'm pretty much new to this forum, and pretty much new to Airsoft in general. I've been interested in it for ages, but, lived in the middle of nowhere, so, didn't have any opportunity to play. Now that I'm up in the Ottawa area, there seems to be some stuff going on, so, I figure I might try and get involved. I've been reading some of the FAQs and posts here (All very helpful) to get a better idea of what I'm getting in to, but, I still had some questions, and things I could use some assistance with.

First of all, being in Ontario, and around Ottawa, what would be a good place to pick up a gun? I've looked at a few different sites to order from, but I'm somewhat confused on what is/isn't allowed to be imported. I've read a lot of articles and posts about airsoft guns being sent back, seized by customs, etc, so I'm somewhat concerned. What are some safe places to order from?

Second of all, and I see a lot of these, is what to get. I saw on buyairsoft.ca a KWA M4 S-System that looked pretty awesome, but the site didn't have a ton of selection. Red Wolf Airsoft seems to have a lot more, but, I'm unsure of whether than can ship things safely to Canada.

I'd be interested in finding an HK G3 (A3 or A4), or possibly an FN FAL. They're a little less common, and I like the look of them, but I haven't seen airsoft variants of them anywhere. Any suggestions?

Thanks for any help you might have.

Also, Metal Slug is awesome, so, I'll put this here. :infantry:
