Can somebody explain to me why pellet guns that are fully replicas or even made by the genuine gun manufacturers or liscensed by them are legal in Canada whereas airsoft is not? When Pellet guns are much more dangerous in fact and many of them are just as realistic? And those same pellet guns are legally sold to people without and special liscenses, etc. also as long as they fall under 500FPS. Why does airsoft recieve such scrutiny when pellet and metal bb guns do not have to be clearsoft?
