![Page 41: Prepared by Detective Constable Blain JOYNSON Nishnawbe-Aski Police - Guns and Gangs Unit](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062521/56814a89550346895db79bde/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Replica Firearms Airsoft guns that closely resemble real firearms are classified as replica firearms, and are
prohibited. Clear plastic, miniaturized versions, or models resembling antique firearms may be allowed on a case-by-case basis.
Any firearm, including air guns, that have a muzzle velocity greater than 152.4 metres per second (500 ft/s), a muzzle energy greater than 5.7 joules (4.2 ft·lbf) is considered a firearm for the purposes of the Firearms Act and must be registered.
Airsoft guns meeting one of the above two requirements are also treated as firearms under the Criminal Code and are subject to safety regulations when transported.
The Canada Border Services Agency generally seize all airsoft guns imported by individuals, only allowing importation to merchants with a Business Firearms Licence endorsed for replica firearms.
**It is illegal to sell replica firearms to individuals, though it is not illegal to possess them.**

Replica Firearms - Problems
In Thunder Bay, replica firearms have been used to commit crimes and have been used in the intimidation of members of the public by criminal elements,
Almost impossible to tell whether a replica firearm is real from at a glance,
When carried concealed, charges of carrying a concealed weapon are still an option by police.
