AIRSOFT HOPUP UNITS

Achieve pinpoint accuracy with hop-up units at District Airsoft. We stock Maxx Model,Retro Arms, and Prowin for AEG, GBBR, and HPA. Upgrade for better air seal and fine-tuned control with fast shipping in Canada.

1. Why upgrade to a rotary hop-up?

Rotary units provide precise, incremental adjustments that stay locked in place. Unlike old gear-style units, the rotary dial won't shift during recoil, keeping your backspin perfectly consistent every shot.

2. What makes Maxx Model the top choice?

Maxx Model chambers are CNC-machined for perfect tolerances. They feature BB latching systems to prevent dropped BBs during reloads and support integrated LED tracer boards for night play.

3. Will a new unit improve my FPS?

A high-quality unit like Retro Arms improves the air seal between your nozzle and bucking. By stopping air leaks, you get more consistent FPS and better overall compression compared to stock plastic chambers.

About Airsoft Guns in Canada

Airsoft guns in Canada are high-performance replicas designed to fire 6mm BBs for competitive play and tactical training. Whether you are looking for gas blowback pistols or electric airsoft rifles (AEGs), choosing the right gear depends on your play style, experience level, and local field FPS limits. From indoor CQB arenas to outdoor mil-sim events, District Airsoft provides the reliable equipment needed for peak performance in every skirmish.

Types of Airsoft Guns Available

There are several types of airsoft guns available in Canada, each offering a different experience:

AEG (Automatic Electric Guns): The most popular electric airsoft rifles. They use a motor and battery, making them reliable and easy to upgrade for any skill level.

GBBR (Gas Blowback Rifles): The gold standard for realism and recoil. These use Green Gas or CO2 to cycle the bolt but can lose performance in cold Canadian winters.

HPA (High Pressure Air): The performance king. These guns connect to an external air tank, offering unmatched consistency, adjustable fire rates, and total weather resistance.

Spring-Powered Guns: Simple and effective. Mostly used for bolt-action snipers where every shot counts, requiring no batteries or gas to operate.

Frequently asked questions

In Canada, airsoft guns are legal to import and own if they shoot between 366 and 500 FPS (with 0.20g BBs). This range classifies them as "uncontrolled firearms." Anything below 366 FPS is often a prohibited replica, and anything above 500 FPS is a regulated firearm requiring a license.

Despite the 500 FPS legal ceiling, most Canadian fields enforce a 400 FPS maximum for standard play. This gap exists for three main reasons:

Safety: 500 FPS carries enough energy to break skin or chip teeth easily. A 400 FPS cap reduces injury risk in close quarters.
Insurance: Field insurance providers mandate lower speed limits to minimize liability and keep premiums manageable.
Engagement Distances: Rifles at 400 FPS usually have no Minimum Engagement Distance (MED). Shooting 500 FPS would require a mandatory 50–100 foot gap between players for safety.

While the law allows 500 FPS, the 400 FPS field standard ensures the game remains safe and insurable.

While airsoft guns are legally "uncontrolled firearms," they are still treated as weapons regarding safety and public use.

No PAL Required: You do not need a Possession and Acquisition License (PAL) to buy or own an airsoft gun, provided it shoots between 366 and 500 FPS.
Legal Age: Most retailers require you to be 18+ to purchase, though there is no federal age limit for supervised use.
Secure Storage: By law, you must store airsoft guns away from public view. Use a locked case or bag during transport.
Public Safety: Brandishing an airsoft gun in public is a criminal offense. They should only be unholstered at home or at a designated field.

Even without a license requirement, following these storage rules prevents police intervention and ensures your gear isn't mistaken for a real firearm.

To buy an airsoft gun in Canada, you must be 18 years old.

While federal law is broad, Canadian retailers and most provinces require a government-issued ID to prove you are an adult before completing a sale.

Key points:

Purchase Age: 18+ (Strictly enforced by stores).
Playing Age: Usually 12+ (Depends on the field's insurance; requires parental consent).
Minors: Can legal own/use gear if a parent or guardian bought it for them.

Use only on private property, designated fields, or ranges with permission; public or backyard shooting is illegal in urban areas. Join local clubs for safe events.

Here's two blogs listing all the airsoft fields in Ontario and Québec !

in Canada, airsoft guns must be handled with extreme care during transport to avoid criminal charges or dangerous encounters with police.

Unloaded: Always remove the magazine and clear the chamber. Disconnect batteries or gas sources to ensure the gun cannot fire.
Locked Case: Use a sturdy, non-transparent locked case or bag. While trigger locks aren't strictly required by federal law for airsoft, using a lock on your case proves you have taken "reasonable precautions."
Out of Sight: Keep your gear in the trunk of your vehicle. If you don't have a trunk, place it on the floor and cover it so it is not visible through the windows.
Public Transit: If using a bus or subway, the gun must be in a locked, inconspicuous bag (like a duffle bag). Never use a case that is shaped like a rifle or has "tactical" branding. We highly suggest to never use public transport.
Police Encounters: If pulled over, keep your hands on the wheel and disclose immediately that you have airsoft equipment in the trunk for a sporting event.

Crucial Warning: Never openly carry or brandish an airsoft gun in public. Because they are indistinguishable from real firearms, police will respond with lethal force if they see one unholstered.
