| Yep I'm a canadian. The country of which airsoft is three times the price of yours in the USA. Why is this?
TO ALL CANADIANS-- Don't ever order any guns outside of canada. It will get confiscated by the Customs. But you can get accesories. I Didnt know about this a few years ago and ordered from airsplat.com. 1 month after I ordered it im like WTF!!Then I get an email saying it got passed the USA customs. So now im all happy because its on its way. But wait. Theres still canadas customs. Yeah it never came. No refund. NOTHING!!!
WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE LIKE THIS!?!?! Well, then i had an idea of driving to the states to buy a gun. But then I heard it was illegal to do it. But I dont want to spend 700 dollars. So I went to the warstore on the way to a ski resort that I was going to be at for a few days so wouldnt end up paying duty. I did get passed the border and back home with my precious gun that nearly tripled in price ones I crossed the border. '
YEAH I know it wasnt the smartest thing in the world but its worth the chance!! | |

| Just to tell every one. It isnt 100% illegal to cross the border with airsoft yet. So if you do get your gun confiscated, you do have a chance of getting it back. Or sometimes they won't even take it if you present it to them | |
