hey SP, do you know if I were to get my PAL would I be able to import airsoft guns? I really don't want to spend twice what these guns are worth, I really want a Tanaka Kar98 but I'm not willing to spend the 800+ bucks it would cost in Canada.

Don't you live in BC or Alberta or someplace close to the southern border? Make friends with an inhabitant of Idaho or Washington or Montana, and have them buy the airsoft for you.

1. i would have to smuggle it accross the border, which if I am caught will not be fun (body cavity checks), and 2 airsoft imports to the states require a red tip which is lame.

I'm hoping a PAL will allow me to import

Oh, right, legal imports to the USA. Somehow, I manage to see, um, other people, people who are definitely not me, purchase untipped Tokyo Marui products in the USA.

Yes. I can understand requiring the red tip, but in conjunction with the CA law that requires one to be 18 to play with them(the same age at which you can get a long gun), it is no good. Maybe have an orange cap on the tip, which could be removed fairly easily?

well, i wouldn't mind having the orange tip or the 18+ requirment (which most fields have anyway AFAIK) if it were legal to import!

It makes no sense to confiscate these things but they do.

Hmm, would disassembling them and then shipping the parts work?
