FYI, I got this from the Firearms Act:
Quote:
Following are some weapons and devices that meet the definition of a firearm but that are deemed not to be firearms for purposes of the Firearms Act and related offences in the Criminal Code. Some of these items are exempted from the definition only if they were designed exclusively for a specific purpose and are intended to be used exclusively for that purpose by the person who possesses it. However, all of the items listed below are considered to be firearms if used in a criminal or negligent manner.
* Antique firearms;
* Devices designed exclusively for signalling, for notifying of distress, for firing blank cartridges or for firing stud cartridges, explosive-driven rivets or other industrial projectiles;
* Shooting devices designed exclusively forslaughtering domestic animals, tranquilizing animals, or discharging projectiles with lines attached to them;
* Air guns and other barreled weapons designed to have:
- A muzzle velocity of 152.4 meters (500 feet) per second or less and/or
- A muzzle energy of 5.7 joules (4.2 foot pounds) or less.

I posted this info just for something to consider since the gov't & their enforcement of laws make no sense most of the time. ;-)
I added the red highlights.
