Default Y Hullo Thar!

Hey everyone, I'm pretty new to this airsoft stuff but I'm looking to get into it since Darkzone shut down . I might be down this weekend, or next. I wanna buy myself a cheap airsoft rifle but all the american places don't ship replica's to Canada and all the Canadian sites I've seen only have upper end stuff for like 400+ dollars.

Does XT let you use your own guns?

You're not gonna find anything cheaper than that. Get used to being broke from now on. Oh, and XT clearly lets you use your own as long as the FPS is under the cap. Gord will probably tell you when you go in but I believe it's 350 FPS. Welcome to Airsoft, your new needle drug.

Peace,
Russ

Welcome to airsoft.
Don't be surprised if your rifle or other primary gun costs you well in excess of a mere $400. From the Canadian retailers, the $400 rifles don't include extra mags, and in most cases even batteries. There's tons more stuff you need, and even more is optional after the gun, but once you get going it's all worth it.

Neverhood,

Not only will most American sites not ship to Canada, but most don't send to Canada because if the Canadian airsoft laws.

Airsoft guns are considered prohibited weapons to import in Canada. Which means if the gun is coming out of the country (ex. US or Asia) if customs finds these guns, they would seize them.

Which means you would be flushing your money down the drain.

Guns inside the country are fine to buy.

It does seem to cost more from retailers in Canada but they do have a reason. When you do the math after paying duty fees and high shipping and handling rates it comes to be around the same price. So to be honest it's really not worth it for you.

Low quality ones (like spring powered M4's) are cheap, but they won't last you long. More like a toy you would love for a week before it breaks on you.


I hope you have a good time at Xtreme Tactics Ltd.


Gord

The question here is does he have to write LTD down while in casual conversation on a forum board that is clearly affiliated with the business in question. Not to mention that nowhere on the site itself does this LTD Limited (abrevieated or not) actually appear.

The answer:

The enigma known as Gordo has created some type of doppelganger to type out his forum responses in the most professional yet irritating manner possible. Its like hes writing his responses in his airplane voice.
