A GBBR (Gas Blowback Rifle) uses compressed gas to propel the BB and aggressively cycle a bolt, creating strong, realistic recoil and sound. This provides the ultimate realism for enthusiasts and MilSim players who want realistic operation (like bolt-lock on empty).
Gas stored in the mag fires the BB and cycles the bolt (gas blowback), delivering realistic action. FPS varies with temperature, requiring the user to select the appropriate gas type for the climate. Premium rifles, like the PROW lineup, feature variable valves (NPAS) for precise gas input management.
Consistent maintenance is crucial; frequently lubricate the bolt and hammer with silicone oil/grease. Always store your gas magazines with a small charge of gas inside to keep all seals (O-rings) seated and prevent costly gas leaks.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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:
in Canada, airsoft guns must be handled with extreme care during transport to avoid criminal charges or dangerous encounters with police.
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.
