Hello, I played a lot airsoft when was a kid and recently back to the shooting hobby.
With the media coverage/discussion on bill C-21 & handgun freeze, I finally registered PAL and RPAL course and look forward to owning firearm and high power airgun ( maybe because of the rebellion inside me or in case the regulation gets more restrict).

I got a Crosman F11 NP air rifle (.22 Cal. 495 Fps. w/ 3-9x32 Scop) during covid lockdown for backyard small games. It's super reliable and accurate. I enjoyed a lot and want to upgrade to the Stoeger xm1 once get my PAL. I'm selling my Crosman F11 if anyone is interested.
Since last month, I purchased Crosman SNR 357 revolver, Crosman DPMS SBR, and Umarex Beretta M92. I had so much fun and the Full-Auto button is indeed a happiness switch. I mounted the DPMS a red dot scope and ordered a "spit fire" suppressor for it. Also, I'm thinking to buy Umarex HK USP, since it's the pistol that I used when playing CS 1.6 when I was a kid.

I found this forum during weekend and want to say hi to everyone. Happiness is doubled when you share it.

Welcome to the forums lelouchwjp. Lots to read and plenty of good advice to be had here.

I am new here, like you and also in Mississauga. Moving to the country Q2 next year. At that time I will probably register for a PAL. I agree that with bill C21 and covid, the license with take longer and be harder to get.

I haven't felt the need for speed, just yet. I had a Daisy bb when I was a kid, haven't tried airsoft.

Perhaps if you chat with YepYep and Dukemeister you'll see there is plenty of power to be had sub-PAL until your license is approved.

Good luck with your quickly expanding collection.

Welcome!

So many good memories while you mentioned the CS~ I was a fan of it too! However I switched to COD as it gives me much more different game modes...

I got some replicas, including some names you mentioned above! And few years ago, I found that the greater accuracy from the non-replicas looks more rewarding to me, I shoot the real air guns more and only collect the others...

Hi, I am also new here and I also have an Crosman SNR357. It is more powerful than my Umarex SAA. Loud and fun to shoot!

Welcome. I couldn't help notice you said you took or registered for an R-PAL course. Since about all restricted firearms are
now prohibited now, what's the point? Am I missing something? Looking towards a future where they may be reinstated as restricted?

PAL airguns you can buy in Canada are restricted only, not prohibited. I would certainly advise anyone interested, or may be in the future, in PAL airguns to take the course.
